VD (3 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: Plummer’s Tetsikarma Stargazer Sh.Cm ShCex VW. Have judged him before awarding a RCC. Now 12 ½ years old and presented in fabulous condition. Although of the larger stamp, he is extremely well balanced, producing an impressive outline with secure topline and strong short loins. Typical expression from a balanced headpiece containing expressive eyes. Moved like a youngster with freedom and purpose. BVIB.

2nd: Guziolek’s Ch Boshanti Nevill. 8 ½ years. Another lovely Veteran, so beautifully balanced. Masculine head of good proportions containing lovely dark eyes. Enough neck into well laid shoulders. Body is well ribbed. Presented in super condition with correct coat. Initially I thought he was my winner but did not produce the movement of 1. Close call.
