I was a replacement judge for Mrs Worthy and hope that all is well with her. Rather a late start, thanks for your patience and quick ring change so we could finally start. I thought this was a good entry with typical hounds. Main fault was ears, the really correct ear seems to be somewhat lacking. Coats were a bit variable. Temperaments were excellent.
