First show for this young boy and he did play his handler up however he did settle to enable me to go over a little. Well sprung rib with tight elbows and good bone. Good angulation but less coat than 1st. He didn’t seem to know what he was supposed to do so didn’t move as well as I’m sure he could. Maybe some more ringcraft training would enable him to settle better however for his first show, he did a good job.
