Black dog whose type I liked a lot, good head shape with correct dark eye colour of good shape, clean neck, well placed shoulders and good rib, found him slightly out of coat on the day, good topline and strong quarters, best movement in the class, steady for his age and showing lovely straight line both going away and on the return BPD

1. Davey. Sothridge Ricochet. Black dog of a nice type who I liked in profile, good head shape, and correct shoulders, front a tad 10 to 2 as he took his time to settle, correct topline, and in good coat, strong rear but would like him to drive from the rear a bit more when moving.
