He had an excellent topline, underline, tailset & quarters. He moved with a light lifting stride & was as sound as a pound. A very nice puppy, BPIB & I was delighted to hear he later won the Hound Puppy Group.

2nd. Turner, Turner & Gallery’s – Stableview Spindle Willow. Raw baby of 9 months, nice head & expression, pleasing front end, good body but he needs to settle into his topline. He has excellent hindquarters which he used to great advantage to jump around the ring. He was shown in cracking condition & the glimpses of movement I got were good. He is naughty but nice!

Borzoi Open (3,0 abs)

1st. Dawson’s – Ch. Tschernigow Kalinow at Stubbylee (Imp Deu). Stunning boy who is all male. He has the most super head, eye & expression, superb forehand with textbook shoulder construction & well boned, straight forelegs. His topline is excellent & the fallaway correct with good tailset. His quarters are well made & muscled and the outline this dog throws is breath taking. Add to this sound, powerful but elegant movement and you have the full package. I loved him & had no hesitation in awarding him BOB. I was delighted to hear he went on to win the group & took RBIS the following day under Tony Allcock. Many congratulations.

She has a good forehand with crested neck, tight fitting elbows, good ribbing & loin & excellent hindquarters. She moved out soundly & with style, but perhaps due to the length of grass didn’t settle into her topline on the move. BPIB & later Puppy Group 4.
