Bournemouth Italian Greyhounds

Not ideal weather for Italians, they don’t really like the cold. The indoor ring surface sadly wasn’t as well mown as outside, however it seemed to ensure they had lift. Some showed much better than others and you have to judge what you see. Never an easy breed to judge, they seem to be able to twist themselves into unflattering shapes minutes after looking fabulous. Special Beginners D/B (1) 1st: SMITH Ms C M Minitopo Thoth V happy blue pup. Fairly tall. He has a super head, long, lean, lovely eye and expression. Correct neck. Needs to fill in front.
