POST GRADUATE BITCH (2)

1. O’Neil’s Magicus Silvestris Sweet Bonnie at Megellan (Imp Nor). A very nice-looking bitch, with a lovely, elegant outline. Attractive, wedge shaped head, scissor bite, dark almond eye and super ears. Strong, arched neck, flowing into good shoulders. Straight forelegs, set on well under her. Well bodied with spring of rib, slightly arched over the loin and cut up behind the ribs. Strong hindquarters with well bent stifles. Moved well. Gleaming coat. Tail appeared set on correctly, but I wish she wouldn’t carry it so high, as it spoils the outline on the move. RESERVE BEST BITCH.

2. Spain’s Nespoli You Are My Sunshine. A smaller version, who appeared a bit nervous on the day. Not having the outgoing personality, tends to spoil the whole outline and movement. Correct head with good ears. Nice length of neck. Good markings with dark tan. Moved OK.

A natural showman and her movement says it all. As per the breed standard – straight, free and balanced with good-reaching forequarters and driving power in hindquarters. I was delighted to award her BEST BITCH & BEST OF BREED.

2. Westwood’s Eaglespur Guilder Rose. A very nice bitch. Super well-proportioned head, with good eyes and lovely ears. Well bodied, strong, muscular hindquarters with well bent stifles. Moved well. Just outshone by the winner today.
