Class 2503 OD (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6588 HORROBIN Mrs C E Kenichi No Mitsuru Go Charadon. A dog I’ve judged before and my opinion hasn’t changed. Lovely red and white, full of quality, making a nice shape and outline. Excellent in head with a lovely expression, strong through the neck and shoulders with a super front and feet and just the right amount of bone. Firm in the back with a good top-line and tail-set. Nice length of leg to body ratio and correct tuck-up. Strong and well-muscled through the rear and really scores on movement, true when viewed from all angles. Pleased to award him Best Dog and Best of Breed.

2nd: 6591 JANES Mrs K Tsoyu Otakahime Go. 11 month old well off for size, nice thick ears but a little low set, good eye shape and colour, would just like a touch more strength in the muzzle. Stands OK in front with a good top-line, nice spring of rib and tuck-up and correct tail-set. Again a little too straight behind, which lets her movement down. Turned out in nice coat and condition.
