Class 15 - Field Trial Dog (1 Entry, 0 Absent) 

1st SUTHERLAND - JACRANELLA SOLO. CC and BVIS

My star of the day. He may not be the biggest ,but so balanced throughout. To me he fits the standard so well. Compact and not leggy, loved his head with correct length and depth of muzzle and nicely domed. Dark eyes. Deep strong body, short coupled with rise over the loin and well set tail. 

Does tend to race away ,but when moved at a slightly slower pace shows how true he is.

Delighted that this is his 3rd CC and when confirmed he will become one of the few full champions in the breed.. Many congratulations

With the agreement of the referee BIS
