Class 2668 OD (9 Entries) Abs: 1. Quality class.

1st: 5575 JACKSON, Mrs N Sh Ch Solwaypoint Portofino.in this good class, I had no instant thought of the winner, on first impression. So, this beautiful dog clinched the win when he moved. Such fluid ‘elastic’ gait with a shape that never faltered. He absolutely took it away from his competitors. To do this he had to be made right, with attitude and condition. His handler quietly produced him on the move.  Thought very highly of him.  CC

2nd: 5561 BOWLEY, Mrs L Gunsyn Ginspiration. This breeder/handler totally understands the breed, always good to see the passion of any breeder. He is all male with breed essentials in evidence throughout. He flows through from his long, sculpted head, his calm, thinking outlook, through his strong neck, evident withers, slight fall in back to short firm loin. His gait is fluid covering the ground effortlessly.
