P (1,0)  

1st Sanderson’s Winfarthing’s Nice One Cyril at Walwal. This pup was rather apprehensive at first on his first day out but he recovered and allowed me to assess him. Gentle expression, from dark hazel almond eyes. Ear set low and covered with enough feathering. Would prefer slightly more chiselling under the eyes. Good pronounced occiput. Good long well laid back shoulders and good length of rib cage. Showing some spring of rib, as expected for age. Strong topline and tail set low. Hocks well let down. Nice tight big feet. BP 

O (5,3)  

1stHolgate’s Prince Arthur Vom Belaurer See at Nadavin JW A male presented in excellent flat, glossy  jacket and good body condition. Head shows desired occiput and is lean beneath the eyes. Nice dark eyes with tight lids. Well developed nose and long muzzle with desired curve from nose to throat.  Good reach of neck and well laid back shoulders, excellent topline. Angulation is balanced and tail set is low, tail showing the correct lively wagging action.  Back feet better than front.  Moved well, driving from the rear. BOB

Has excellent angulation and a level topline. He has an excellent spring of rib and good length of rib. Front is wide when viewed from fore view. Well let down hocks.
