P 2(1)

1. Turner’s Locheil Walk on the Wildside. Very nice 9 month old bitch, good dark brown eye, well set ears, correct length of muzzle, good overall skull proportions, correct length to height ratio, good top-line running away to correct croup and tail-set, good median bone, easy ground covering gait with minimum pick up of feet, medium long coat, a puppy of great potential, BOB, BP & BIS.

 

J 5(2)

1. Turner’s Locheil Walk on the Wildside.  

2. Turner/MacDonald’s Locheil Wild About You. Another nice bitch, not quite the reach and drive of 1 but of good proportions, good dark eye, well proportioned head, not quite the reach of neck of 1 but strong top-line, good tail-set and carriage, nice medium bone, moved out well and will mature to advantage.

3. Gray’s Locheil Steed.

 

G 4(1)

1. MacDonald’s Birkcross Red Red Wine at Gaulsbay. Nice 18 month old bitch but still some maturing to do, good overall proportions but I would prefer the elbows to be tighter to the body but this will come with maturity, feminine head and expression, well set ears, keen, alert and attentive.

2. Gray’s Locheil Steed. Masculine head, good dark eye, medium to long coat, shown in good condition, however untidy when moving away and a touch straight in the pasterns. Good top-line, correct croup and tail-set, should come together with maturity.
