Maclellan’s Debruix Clicquot Prelude** Smart male of 16 months, dark eye and lovely expressive head, balanced skull, alert ears, good neck and front assembly, good forechest and depth, lovely make and shape standing and moving, sound in top-line, well muscled and fit, liked his angulation, light and free on the move. 2. Elliott/Brown/Godfrey’s Sezanne Afire Love. 15 months, preferred the more masculine head of 1, ears well set with dark eye, good muzzle and balanced skull, could have a shade more bone and not as good in shoulder as winner, moved ok. PGD 1(0) 1. Hall’s Shai Du Pre De La Sommerau at Vonandraste (imp FRA). 2 years old, determined not to use his ears, masculine head and expression with good proportions, strong neck and straight front, little steep in shoulder for me, sound in top-line and angulation but untidy ‘coming to’, showed some easy movement in profile, presented in good coat and well muscled condition. OD 2(0) 1. Maclellan’s Ch.

Another nice male of 4 years with a lovely confident temperament, masculine and alert expression with dark eye, good forechest, strong neck with correct front assembly, good depth and well ribbed back, sound in top-line and he was well muscled and fit, to be picky, found him a shade too long in outline, he moved out well with a free action and was presented in immaculate coat, RBD.
