1st Hollowell, Hackett & Hollowell’s CAPELAW NATHANIEL - 2 year old male who I felt was still maturing and bodying up but condition and coverage is correct for his development. Head balance is good with a correct eye and stop along with strength in muzzle. Neck is moderate in length. Rib cage is of good length but would like a little more spring of rib as he is a little slab sided, this will hopefully come as he matures, top line is level. Front and rear angles are balanced which enables him to retain his shape on the move, finished off with lovely feet.

Lovely muzzle which is broad and deep with good padding, with a good turn of chin. Neck of fair length, adequate front angles, a better lay of shoulder would benefit as this restricts his movement, and causes his top line to break.

AVNSC

Puppy (8, 3abs)

1st Grantham’s NAUGHTY NOSTRADAMUS WIELKOPOLSKI SKI BERNADYN AT LAKEGIANTS NAF TAF – At just 7 mths this lovely young St Bernard male, caught my eye as he trotted into the ring. Head is masculine even at this tender age, with a broad skull which is slightly rounded, well-defined stop, short strong blunt muzzle, with a large black nose with large nostrils. Shoulders are laid well, stands straight in front with solid bone, and on super large feet that are surprisingly so compact for one so young. His body is developing well, ribs are rounded, depth and width of chest is good, loin has fair width, with a broad croup, which leads to strong and well boned rear angles. He has a moderate bend to stifle and super strong hocks. Carrying the correct amount of weight for his age he isn’t overdone anywhere. Movement is easy for him, he drives through so well from his hindquarters, and this is what won him the class and later the puppy group. He is still learning the ropes and in stance he doesn’t show what he has, but once moving it is easy to see. RBOB, BP & WPG1

2nd Becks’ SACARIAS BLUE JEAN BABY AT BEKESHA – Dobermann of the same age as 1st, very smart and clean lines, I’d prefer a little more bone throughout. Head planes are good, with a moderate stop, correct ear set and carriage. Neck is a nice length and leads to an adequately balanced front assembly, standing straight in front, and compact feet, just slightly toeing over. Rear angles match front well which enables movement to work well together. Top line is straight, movement was sound at all times.
