Ibizan Hound

Open Dog (4) 3abs

1.Carter & Hozempa’s Ch Amahte Runnin On Jamaican Tim (imp) JW ShCEX what an athletic dog he is, have judged him a few times before but he was on great form here and well deserving of his wins. He has good balance throughout, well-shaped masculine head which complements his overall size, with good erect ear set, good in front with strong bone and good long toes, level back with tremendous muscle tone on that loin, strong quarters, well toned.

BOB

2. Godber-Ford’s Affyneeta Toskcan Sun s/h golden giving a lot away in maturity here, still has a huge puppy coat that hides his outline, finer in head, would prefer more length to neck, needs to mature quite a bit in body and develop that ribcage, decent bend to stifle, short straight hocks, tail set slightly high but should drop as he matures. Handled well and moved easily around the ring.

BOB

2. Abey’s Sufayre Angels Whisper at Rubeusbay have judged this bitch before and appreciate her good construction but felt her outline wasn’t so good today, moved well enough here but not with the drive of the winner.

Rhodesian Ridgeback
