1st Sheppard’s Whissgig Daddy Cool

At 9 years, this one was moving and showing so well. Strong neck. Well-constructed front. Good length of body and super topline for his age. Strong over the quarters with moderate stifles. Best Veteran. Disappointed not to see him when I judged the Veteran Group later.

Up to size, and needing to fill out. At 17 months, there is plenty of time for this. Strong neck of good length. She has a firm level topline and well angulated quarters. In gleaming white coat and moving well, there is plenty to like here.

2nd Harvey’s Willowdog Primrose

More compact type with correctly proportioned head, compact body with firm couplings. Well bodied and moved to advantage. Would prefer more feathering.
