She excels in her balanced proportions, movement, and breed type. I would prefer her in harder condition, but even so her qualities could not be denied BB and BOB.
2ND 6886 - Sh Ch Eusanit Ever Fallen in Love (Miss R Blair)
Another quality breed typical bitch, out of the top drawer, and many of the comments above apply to her as well, it was a close decision between these two lovely bitches, but 1st just had the edge in proportions and balance, and I preferred the overall profile of 1st with a slightly better sloping croup. But, it was very close, as this bitch truly is worthy of being a champion and her many qualities are the same as her kennel mate. She excels in her hard condition, driving movement , substance and balanced front and rear assemblies , with good turn of stifle and driving movement. Handled very well and I’m sure on grass she would be hard to beat. RBB
