Breed: Estrela Mountain Dog

Having not judged this breed for some time, I was really looking forward to the appointment, sadly I was really disappointed with the quality, consistency and lack of breed type in the exhibits today which I feel doesn’t bode well for the future of the breed. Where I found good breed type they lacked in construction throughout the entry.

1. Willicombe/Mackenzie’s Milagre Revolution. Withheld.

OD 2(0)

1. Hall’s Estjak Riodouro at Kayarrach. 4 years old and a nicely presented male of good size and substance who was strong without showing signs of coarseness, masculine head, standing he was a nice outline, he had a good depth of chest with pleasing body proportions, showed some signs of good movement in profile but extremely loose and uncoordinated in the rear going away, BD & BOB.

2. Tychowski’s Cossus D’domus Stella (imp POR). Brindle of 19 months, very immature and lacking in body and condition, ok in head and eye, decently angulated front and rear, very unsettled and unsure of his surroundings.
