This young PBGV dog oozed showmanship and was shown in super condition. He moved out with purpose using excellent drive. Stacked he has a level topline, great tailset and excellent rear quarters. I liked his head which was framed by long low set ears. He carried his head well and I could not take my eyes off him in the Puppy Group, which he won with ease.Best NSC Hound Puppy & Hound Puppy Group Winner.

Basset Hound Junior (2, 1)

1st Allchorne’s Nelgus Cinnamon Spice

Standing alone today, I found so much to like about this young male. At 17 months of age he is masculine without being overdone. His outline is wonderful and demonstrates his long and well arched neck which leads to a firm, broad back. He has a super tailset and I would have loved to have seen him carry his tail. Sympathetically handled and presented perfectly. Would love to see how he develops.

4 year old red and white male who presents a balanced picture. I found so much to like about him. He has a lovely front assembly, well laid back shoulders and smashing forechest. I loved his head which was domed with a slight stop and the correct occiput. His eye’s a lozenge and his ears are set on low with a lovely inward curl. As wonderful as he was stacked, it was when he moved that I really felt his wow factor. Without a doubt this boy is fit for purpose, moving freely and effortlessly. BOB & Hound Group 1.
