CC & BOB


MANCHESTER, January 2010 (Nick Grosvenor)
Red of super type, balance & ring presence, still has more to come with full maturity. Pleases greatly in head, lovely eye shape & colour, well placed medium length ears, good split to mouth, well defined mask & good parallelism on refined but masculine skull, pleases in neck & wither definition & holds firm back line, good slope to croup & tailset, construction was most pleasing with good underline, sound straight limbs & neat feet, moved spot on & displayed an excellent brisk action in profile. Felt could not be denied in the challenge for the CC, his third


DARLINGTON, September 2009 (Irene Green, Iolair)
19 months entire red dog, scissor bite, good dark eye with nice almond shape, good mask. Lovely muzzle to skull ratio, good parallels, well chiselled head, medium ears well set and used well. Good reach of neck. Good angulation front and rear, good depth of chest, level topline flowing into nicely rounded croup. Once settled moved well. Overall presented a very typical example of the breed. A young dog with great future potential and I was pleased to award him CC & BOB


MIDLAND COUNTIES, October 2009 (Margy Pratten, Bergeau)
Beautiful very stylish young dog, excellent outline with proud stance, lovely flat skull & muzzle, good parallels, lovely dark eyes, well positioned, small, high set ears, good chiselling, good split to mouth, lovely typical sparkling expression, nice arched neck, level topline, high withers. Rather steep but balanced angulations. Good straight limbs, quality red coat with overlay, very good movement once into stride but can set off rather wide at rear, excellent outgoing character. Did not move quite so well in the challenge. RCC


WINDSOR, July 2009 (Janet Biddlecombe, Tanje)
Outstanding young male who I have admired since I first saw him as a puppy and his whole demeanour as he entered the ring today certainly caught my attention. Beautifully balanced head with super expression. Medium eye of good shape. Small ears used constantly. Excellent proud neck carriage which is accentuated when he tucks his chin in and looks down his nose. Balanced angulation, short hard back and good underline giving such a harmonious picture. Nice neat feet. In excellent coat and condition. Very steady mover, a little narrow in front at this stage, with beautiful side gait. Excellent temperament. Well deserved CC
