1ST 113 - Magregor Four Letter Word for Pothouse (Mr R & Miss A Brown & Burns) for me this dog is so full of breed type he his certainly a German Shorthaired pointer. Nothing to hide, he his in my opinion a truly wonderful GSP, good size and his overall and conformation is a delight to see and judge. From his excellent shoulder angulation to his good depth and ribs, and has that all important short back. He stands over plenty of ground which gives him great balance overall his strong quarters enabled him to move true both for and aft. I just loved him and delighted to award him the dcc and later BOB over a top quality bitch. He’s gorgeous and thrilled and not surprised to learn that he gained his title today.
