South Eastern Hound Club

Borzoi

Many thanks to the Officers and Committee for their invitation to judge at this lovely, friendly show.

J (2, 1) 1st  Birmingham’s Azart Master Ballantine Eletto Sable / white eye catching 12 month  old male so well balanced for his age and with so much to like. Masculine, refined head neat ears, well angulated front and rear with nice bend of stifle and well let down hocks, correct curve of topline and good depth of chest for his age. Movement towards was a bit loose but was down to exuberance rather than any fault and can be accepted in a youngster, in profile he's starting to extend and showing the correct, easy borzoi movement. BOB and was delighted to hear he went on to BIS. He should have a very bright future.

PG (1,1)

OD (2, 0) Andrew & Putt’s Dolsaca Macchiato 1st White Black 7 years old masculine head, gently arched neck, good front angulation and excellent depth of chest, still retained his topline and has a good length of loin. Well angulated rear with a pleasing bend of stifle. Moved steadily. Would prefer a bit more muscle and carrying a little too much weight but i was happy to forgive this on a veteran.

2nd Turner’s Stonebar Going for Gold with Endevor Self Cream 7 years old. More refined head than 1 with dark, well shaped eye and neat ears, good breast bone, but I would like more depth of chest and slope of shoulders. Gentle curve to his toplline. A well muscled rear allowed him to move steadily in profile

OB (1,0) 1st Turner's Stonebar Summer Song of Davanski 7 year old white / cream pretty, feminine head with nicely shaped eyes and well set ears. Good shoulders with nice layback and return but would prefer tighter feet. Nice depth of chest for a bitch and a good topline with a good length of loin. Would prefer a little more bend of stifle but like her brother is very well muscled. Elegant movement in profile with extension and was straight moving away and towards. RBOB.
