Rhodesian Ridgeback

Class 434 Puppy 7 ( 1 )

1st. ( 625 ) Parson’s PRIORPARK PREDICAMENT –I like this 6 months red wheaten bitch a lot and I have adored her grandsire for a long time, she is just quality and beautifully done and mature for her age, feminine head with nice shaped eyes and correct ear set, strong muzzles with correct bite. Nice long neck into strong shoulders , good depths of chest , holding her top line and well when moving, strong thighs with good turn of stifles , moved free and easy with tight feet, still a little loose due to her age and I’m sure that will improve as she grows, perfectly handled . I’m very pleased to award her BPIB.

2nd, ( 632 ) Strauja & Price’s CHIOKE FOR ZERI BY RIDGELOVE ( IMP SVK ) – 7 months old red wheaten male, very pleasing outlook and well handled. Nice head with correct year set, dark eyes with good expression, beautiful long neck into strong shoulders, strong back leg with just enough angulation , moved beautifully and standing on good tight feet , I’d prefer his elbow a bit close to his chest and carries his tail a bit lower, but I’m sure that will improve when he matures, hard decision between him and the first
