1st CATUA BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (MR C WHITHAM) a dog if handled much better could do well when matured, he has all the attributes to succeed but needs to be handled much better than he was.

2nd AM CH BLACK ICE’S HIGH VOLTAGE [ATC AK00135USA] (MRS K TAYLOR) another dog of immense quality and one I liked a lot but would not fly it’s tail today for some reason, if it had then who know what would have happen, at this level and in this company these little things matter this may seem a little unfair but that’s dog showing for you.
