A little gem , one of a few cracking puppies in this class but her head shape and expression stole my attention , everything about her is balanced at this age and if she keeps maturing like she is today she has a very bright future loved the weight of bone for one so young. Best Puppy In Breed

1st Scotlands Callastaff Moon River
Wow, couldn't keep my eyes off her. She demanded your attention and a second look. 10 months old. Has the stamp of quality. Beautiful head shape with piercing dark round eyes, correctly placed neat ears, deep stop with strong clean muzzle with correct bite and strong underjaw. Strong but feminine expression, alert at all times. She has a good straight front and level topline on the move and when stacked, excellent spring of rib, powerful backend. Moved very well with drive and purpose, up and down the mat. She was pushed hard by the Junior class winner but won the RCC with her fitness and movement. I feel sure that she will reach top honours. Wish she was mine

1. Scotland's Callastaff Moon River JW. Lovely standard sized dark brindle, beautiful head and expression, neat ears, dark eye, good bite, straight front, ample bone, well ribbed, moved very well, carrying just too much extra weight which affected body shape and played a major part when it came to the crunch.

1ST CALLASTAFF MOON RIVER JW (RW & MRS MA SCOTLAND) black brindle bitch who I have admired for a long time. I awarded her mother the BCC at Windsor back in 2013 and for me she is better than her mother. This little girl is worthy of her title but today she had a little bit too much weight losing definition on her rear and she didn't seem on top form when she moved. In the shadow of her litter brother it's a shame she hasn't got her title, but she came up against my OB winner and it was down to what I said above but that aside my critique of her is, she has a strong but feminine head, good depth of stop and width of muzzle, powerful underjaw encasing a clean scissor bite. Dark round eye which makes you fall in love with her. Straight front and width showing depth of ribs, well laid-back shoulders leading to a level topline. Her downfall today was her rear there was little definition although her hind quarters were well muscled, and she moved ok. However, for me she did deserve the RBCC and I hope that she gains that 3rd CC which she fully deserves
