Puppy (1)

1 Haynes Balmacara French Dream at Harebolt

11-month r/w. Pleasing head qualities with lovely dark eye. Good length to leathers and arched neck. Sound even front, well laid shoulders and tight elbows. Sternum developing and well ribbed, would prefer a little more length. Well-angulated rear used to advantage would prefer slightly more bend to stifle. Moved well covering the ground with ease and enthusiasm. BP

Junior (1)

1 Tyson Malrich Hermione of Tyshound

16-month tri. Lovely head qualities and lovely dark eyes. Well-arched neck, Good of sternum nice shoulder placement, tight elbows and neat front. Nicely ribbed but would prefer a little more length. Nicely angulated behind, moved a little close but not impeding her, covered the ground well.

Open (3)

1 Haynes Harebolt Echo

4 yr old r/w Masculine head, dark eye, lovely arched neck, well laid shoulders and tight elbows. Prominent sternum and deep forechest. Well ribbed with good topline, would prefer a little more length. Good angulation fore and aft. Massive bone throughout with well bunched feet. Moved with purpose and drive covering the ground effortlessly. BOB, Group 1

2 Hatter Brunell Excaliber at Delacroix

6½ yr r/w, smaller than 1 and one I judged as a puppy and who has developed into a very nice, balanced hound with masculine head qualities with good eye colour. Well constructed with good bone throughout showing no exaggerations. Moves soundly and true, sadly showed his age slightly, which cost him top honours. RBOB
