Junior D/B 1 entry 0 Abs

1.Beecham – Inspirations Lorenza Primavera at Rydonmist (Imp Swe) B. Liked this young bitch the moment she walked into the ring, best of heads, clean through neck and good shoulders, enough rib for age, correct topline, and good angles behind, still very raw on the move, but bags of potential. BP and PG4

1.Beecham – Titano Della Casa Di Lombardo at Rydonmist (Imp Fra) D. O/W roan, Lovely head with good head planes and kind expression, good neck and shoulders, liked his front assembly, correct topline with slight rise over his nicely muscled loin, good angles behind, moved well going away, slightly throwing his front coming towards, but showed enough to win him the class and BOB in the Challenge 2.Beecham – Gunsyn Hotrod at Rydonmist. D. heavier in head than 1, but not incorrect, good length to neck, but found him heavier in dewlaps than 1, pleasing shape when stacked with good rib and strong through loin and rear quarters, moved ok in a small ring.

Open 4,2

1.Beecham – Grafskoe Gnezdo Arlo (Imp Rus) D. O/W big imposing male of a good type who I’ve judged before, love his head shape and overall balance when stacked, well laid back shoulders, good front, but unfortunately sporting a scab on his elbow, Deep chested and well sprung ribs, good topline when stood, strong quarters behind which he showed when on the move, good reach and drive, but needs a bigger ring to fully show his power RBOB 2.Beecham – Allegro Nord Bohemia Sheram at Rydonmist (Imp Cze). D. Chestnut roan, pleasing shape when stood, good head and soft expression, clean neck and well placed shoulders, deep and well sprung ribs, good topline and short coupled, good angles behind, not the flowing drive of 1 on the move, would like to see him again in a bigger ring where I think he’d be a different dog again.
