Critique

A few absentees, mainly bitches, in an interesting entry. Type varied greatly and I found some bad mouths. A number of extremely narrow front and an odd one over size. Not too many large ears, thank goodness, but muzzles proportionately still tend to be ion the long side. Temperament was mainly good but I found one or two who were very hesitant on the table. Not something I have been aware of before. General presentation and condition in the main was very good.

PD. (4). 1. Powell’s, Desaria Bobbi Brown at Brookwell. 6 months old chocolate with nice male Spitzy head, good eye shape and neat well set ears. Good ribbing and well boned with correct substance for age. High tailset. Neat feet. Moved steadily both ways. 2. Hunter’s, Rossfort Baltic Pacesetter. Profuse coat of correct harsh texture on this lovely 12 months old white. Excellent pigmentation and very good head with well placed ears and eyes. Good bone and body. Not quite settled on the move yet. 3. Beards’, Wyndlee Chandera Spectre.

LD (6) 1 Duke and Gardener’s Galvizach Oakley Adams. Well constructed and overall almost square in outline. Well proportioned head, correct eye and earshape. Well ribbed with good bone. Moved well fore and aft. 2 Hunter’s Nemo aud dem Norden (Imp). Profusely coated handsome white who is well put together and of correct proportions. Well boned and bodied.

PGB (3,2) 1 Hunter’s Rossfort Proviso. A real eye catcher who did not disappoint. Well balanced, compact, almost square and with a good topline. Well ribbed and good short loin. Super head with neat, high set ears and correct eyeshape and set. When settled moved really well all ways, as to be expected from such good construction.
