Head could be stronger, but in proportion to body, excellent length of neck and well off for forechest, a touch upright in shoulder, strong forelegs, correct spring of rib, a little long in back but firm topline which she held on the move, she’s got bags of enthusiasm for an old girl.

OB 1 & RBOB Raby’s Seasight Flying High at Trewonnal. Preferred her head and expression over her kennel mate as she had higher ear carriage and obliquely set eyes that gave that typical foxy expression, good width of front, well laid back shoulders, much longer in the back, good turn of stifle, just too short on the leg to give a balanced profile, lacks upper arm so couldn’t reach out on the move.

Beautifully presented and handled flashy tri with excellent bone, type and quality, appealing head with medium brown almond shape eyes, ears could be better placed, really powerful mover and accurate in all directions, just would like more of her especially in length of leg. 2 Richards’ Birkcross Secret Agent with Accra. Cracking quality puppy who is already in proportion, good bone, firm topline, good front and rear angulation, very pretty head, good length of muzzle and attractive markings, just comes towards a little narrow at the moment but I’m sure that’ll get better with age. 3 Gladwell’s Jotars No Limits.
