Veteran Dogs (5)

1. Ch. Pavoskas Aly Arttu JW Sh.CM

Impressive dog, very athletic. Well balanced, well proportioned, masculine dog of excellent type and quality. Enough width of skull, good stop, but I would not want a longer muzzle. Pleasing ears. Strong neck, well set into withers and a strong back. Well set and carried tail. Balanced angulation both ends. Very good legs and feet. Excellent coat quality. Very efficient mover, well balanced and very well synchronized, he truly excels in excellent movement from all angles. ResCC

2. Oberitz Upponalle

Another very typical dog, well balanced and proportioned. I preferred his head to the winner, excellent width of skull and correct length and width of muzzle, but I would not want any more stop than this. Excellent ears. Strong neck. Excellent topline and tailset. A bit down in his pasterns. Very moderately angulated behind. Another very sound mover coming and going, well balanced form the side, but not as outstanding as the winner.

Open Bitch (4,1)

Instantly attractive bitch of top quality. She is big and strong, still feminine. Very attractive head and very pleasing expression even if her eyes could be darker. Excellent ears. Well set neck into shoulder. Excellent forechest. Strong topline, well set and carried tail. Balanced angulation both ends. Her coat is just about to fall out, but there was still more than enough to warrant her win and with her body and substance she does not depend on a big coat. A very dynamic mover, at all times keeping her balance. She is a star, and she knows it. CC&BOB.

Another very attractive bitch, well proportioned. Excellent skull and well set ears Dark eyes, very pleasing full muzzle. Good rise of neck, well set.
