Pretty but aristocratic head and alert expression, clean strong arched neck flowing into well laid shoulders, well developed body, correct angulation fore and aft, excellent muscle tone, moved with style, power and fabulous side gait.

2nd: STAFFORD Gunalt Repartee Farnfield, elegant and stylish youngster, feminine head and expression, arched neck into well laid shoulders, ribs well back, good front angulation, strong in topline, excellent reach and drive on the move, I’m sure her title isn’t far away.

 OB (6 Entries) Abs: 1. Strong class.

1st: FAIRLIE Sh Ch Gunalt The One For Tasairgid JW Another favourite of mine, who oozes quality, classic head and alert expression, correct ear length, good length of neck into well laid shoulders, good depth of brisket, correct angulation fore and aft, unfortunately on the move in the challenge she was a little bit flat.

2nd: EVANS Gunalt Acacia At Liandev, another top quality bitch, just my type, lovely head, expression and kind eye, shown in hard fit condition, movement was sound and effortless, to be critical her handler needs to stop faffing about with her when she is stood, this nearly cost her this placing.
