1. Gall’s Benreeda Dingo Dollar. Nicely presented b/m of 15 months who I felt was carrying just a little too much weight which affected his performance today. Masculine head with kind, alert expression. Good depth of chest and sound front assembly. At times, he tended to pace, but when settled into his stride he showed some effortless movement. Presented in excellent coat.
