Weimaraner

Junior 1. Brown & Filby’s Desjiem Wilma Wagtail. 7 mths bitch of good type, feminine head, good ear set, straight front, excellent forehand, plenty of depth and strong quarters. Moved well but carried her tail too high for my liking. Nevertheless I liked her very much BPIB.

PG 1. Elder’s Gunalt Gorjuss. Feminine and elegant, classic head, good front and feet, well ribbed up and strong loin. Excellent 2nd thigh development, moved well even though a bit giddy in front. BOB.

Open 1. Brown & Filby’s Enryb Pyjama Party at Desjiem. Another quality exhibit. A bit strong in head for me but had a super front, good depth, plenty of heart room and had fantastic muscle tone. Correct tail set and covered the ground well. . Would have preferred him to carry a bit more weight.
