1st Alcorn & Ingram Sh Ch Gunalt Hendricks

A Weimaraner dog who is imposing on the stack but who is at his best on the move, so co-ordinated in his action, moving effortlessly in profile and eating up the ground in perfect unison with his handler. His head is long and with a moderate stop, medium sized eyes and a kind expression. Neck of good length, his legs are straight and well boned and he stands on well arched feet. His body is of ideal proportions, his rib cage is well developed and he has correct depth of brisket. Holds a firm level topline both standing and on the move and drives off his well let down hocks. In exceptional muscletone and body condition, he could not be denied G1.
