Veteran dog (1)

1. Le Magicien D’oz Du Clos Milette At Peragos

Masculine dog of excellent type and quality, but I would not want him any larger than this. Typical head with lovely roundish eyes and beautiful expression. Well set and carried ears. Long neck, well set into a well laid back shoulder. Stands firmly over his legs and feet. Strong topline with a slight arch over the loin. Balanced hindquarters. Well developed double dewclaws He moved with an excellent balance, keeping his outline and with a very pleasing tail carriage, typically seeking forward with his head. In a good jacket, especially his top coat. Best Male and BOS.

Puppy Dog (1)

1. Hollybeck Jack The Lad

Attractive seven months old dog, very well balanced and with excellent proportions. He will need to gain more substance and above all more bone with maturity. Well made head of excellent proportions, fitting the rest of him very well. Good neck into shoulder, well angulated in front. Excellent topline, with a shapely slight arch over loin. Well angulated behind. In a very promising puppy coat. Good double dewclaws. He is very well balanced on the move, moving effortlessly and at all time retaining his outline. Sound coming and going.. Res Best Male and Best Puppy.

Post Graduate Dog (2)

1. Cami Vida Bilbo Sirius at Peragos

Attractive masculine male, if a little leggy in his proportions. Typical head, excellent expression. Pleasing neck into shoulder. Shapely topline, well set tail which he is rather proud of in movement. Good width of body. In full coat of pleasing structure. Good double dewclaws. He moved soundly from all angles even if he could do with some more angulation.

2. Hollybeck Purple Murri

I preferred this dog standing for his correct length of leg, if somewhat long in his couplings. Attractive head and expression, masculine. Lovely temperament. Medium neck. Moderate, balanced angulation both ends, he stood very well over his legs and feet. Typical double coat of excellent structure. Attractive outline. Has surgically removed one of his dewclaws according to veterinary attestation. Unfortunately he did not move well today from any angles and struggled to make a trot.

Veteran Bitch (1)

1. Alvegi Borzas Dona at Peragos

A sturdy bitch who stands well over her legs and feet. Not small. She has a strong head for a bitch, lovely expression. Well set and carried ears. Strong neck. Well angulated in front and a very good forechest. Strong topline with a slight arch of loin. Moderate angulation behind, I would prefer some more. In a good jacket. She moved with enthusiasm and kept her balance, pleasing going away, but tended to toe out more than ideal both standing and moving. Res Best Bitch and Best Veteran.

A very attractive bitch of excellent type, quality and proportions. Typical feminine head with lovely expression. Beautiful neck, very well set into withers.
