SPECIAL OB 7&1

I must admit i was spoilt for choice in this class, So much quality and knit picking for decisions. I am quietly confident these bitches can and will change place quite often.

Lovely to see she has her crown and has matured well. Head of good proportion, almond shaped dark eye with good bite and jaw. flat skull with good fill under the eye. lovely length of neck into well laid sloping shoulders and straight narrow front. A very well marked bitch and her coat in great condition. Good spring of rib with arch over the loin. Hindquarters of good angles and parallel on the move both fore and aft.

2nd. Walshaw's CH Janmark Back T'Black. Another beautiful bitch of good size, Lovely outline and stand out markings. clean in front, straight with small feet, well manicured nails and toes arched. Nice spring of rib, compact and slight arch over her loin. Faultless hindquarters and one who can do a full days work. Dainty on the move with plenty reach and drive parallel both ways. A pleasure to judge.
