Stunning dog who I judged at `Driffield when i did Best in Show and he has improved even more since then. Fabulous example of the breed, full of type combined with substance and elegance. For his size he is so light on his feet and his handler keeps up with him well. Beautiful headpiece which typifies the breed standard. Constructionally put together very well and this is evident when he moves. Presented in tip top condition and gleaming coat. Best Dog and Best AVNSC and Gundog Group 1, many congratulations.
