GERMAN WIREHAIRED POINTERS. 

PUPPY (6: 4 ABS,) litter sisters and little to choose between them, both with very appealing heads 

1 McCullough’s Kimmax Maid the Kut - good neck and forequarters, excellent depth of chest for age.  Plenty of bone, firm topline and strong loin. Well-angulated both ends. Moved soundly. BPIB 

2 Donnelly’s Kimmax Who Kares Wins – same remarks apply. Lovely bone, front and feet. I felt 1 had a slight edge on rear angulation, and on depth of chest at this stage. 

OPEN (3: 2ABS) 

1 Donnelly’s KIMMAX KNOCK YOURSELF OUT   - all male but in no way coarse, presented a balanced picture. Super head, good bone, front and feet, short loin, firm topline,  well-angulated fore and aft, deep body with well-fitting elbows. Moved effortlessly and accurately round the ring. Please to award him  BOB, and delighted to hear that he went BIS

2 Hinchcliff’s GOOSEPOINT GIBRALTAR (AI) – solid liver bitch of 7 months. Taller than 1, with an appealing outline. Good neck, well laid into correct shoulder placement, good topline and rear angulation.  Preferred head of 1, who was also more positive on the move.
