He does not show his age and has a lovely domed elongated head with melting dark eye and low set ear which are long and oval at the end. Enough reach of neck into well laid shoulders. Elbows close to rib with good bone all round, good rear angulation and moved with drive. Good tail & set carried well on the move. Although he stood alone I was pleased to award him BOB.
