Hound Association Of Scotland

Puppy Dog (1) 

1st Melbourne & Murray’s Diheath Jamaica. 8 months old and matured well so far. Nice head with length of neck, good lay of shoulder. Good firm topine and well bodied. Would prefer a touch more length of upper arm and second thigh with less length to the rear pastern. Moved well in side gait. Still needs muscle tone to tighten his movement but should have a promising future. RDCC & BP 

Junior Dog (2) 

1st McIntosh’s Kelansue Dark Destroyer. Well angulated boy but a little on the heavy side for me. Nice head, good length and depth of ribbing. Looked well on the move. 

2nd Johnston’s Burnvale Zephyr. Smaller type than 1. Good head and reach of neck. Balanced for and rear quarters but I would prefer more length to upper arm and second thigh. 

Yearling Dog (3) 

1st Melbourne, Hirst & Walker’s Diheath Really Cosmic At Kejana. Neat male of 13 months. Good reach of neck and firm topline. Well made and balanced fore and rear quarters which he used well on the move. A little broad in frontal bone for my liking. 

2nd McIntosh’s Kelansue Dark Destroyer 

3rd Johnston’s Badina Grand Master of Burnvale 

Post Graduate Dog (3) 

1st Pearson’s Armardio Angel of Harlem By Malrich. Neat male of smaller type. A little course in head for me. Well compact dog, good length of ribbing. Balanced fore and rear angulation. Moved well.

2nd Feetham’s Quantas-Napoca Conjurer (Imp Rom). Lovely outline on the stack and the move. Nice head and reach of neck, good firm topline. Well angulated fore and rear quarters. Moved out well. Lacking depth for me personally. 

3rd McCord’s Kelansue Rubeus Bomber 

Veteran Dog (1) 

1st Ellrich’s Ch Malrich Sir Ruff Diamond. 9 year old male who still gives the youngsters a run for their money. Good head and reach of neck, solid topline, good ribbing and well-muscled throughout. Good angulation in the fore and rear quarters. Moved with reach and drive. CC & BV

2nd Melbourne & Hudson’s Diheath Bob. Very different type to 1. Taller bitch with a touch more reach and drive. Leans into her front too much on the stack which detracts from the outline. Strong in head for a bitch. Elegant reach of neck and a little taller in type.
