Australian Cattle Dog

JD: (3,1) 1st Jebson’s Austmans Uh Oh, 16-month-old blue speckle. Lovely head and expression with a broad skull, strong muzzle with good underjaw, wide set ears of good size which are pointing outwards and dark oval eye. Compact body, with strong neck, good topline, deep chest and well sprung rib. Well laid-back shoulder with good return of upper are, strong bone, well angulated rear. Good length of stride on move. Best Dog.

2nd Greenhill’s Evaland Vuk (Imp Lva), 8-month-old blue speckle. Head developing nicely with skull of good width and balanced muzzle, with dark eye of good shape. Ears a touch bigger than I’d prefer. Medium length of neck and slightly longer than high with good depth of chest. Well laid shoulder, but slightly shorter upper arm and slightly straighter in stifle. Good bone and feet. Moved in balance front and rear. Best Puppy in Breed.

PGD: No Entries

OD: (1) 1st Jebson’s Ch Austmans Bush Trucker, 2-year-old red speckle. Really liked this boy standing but he didn’t want me to go over his rear today. Super head with a good eye and ear, well shaped skull and muzzle. Good neck and outline with a level topline, good front and super hind angulation. Moved with reach and drive. Reserve Best Dog.

JB: (2,1) 1st Jebson’s Austmans Truckin' Gold, 14-month-old red speckle daughter of the RBD and she has inherited so many of his qualities. Strong head, but in balance and feminine. Broad skull, with slight curve between wide set ears, slight stop and strong muzzle with well- developed cheeks. Dark oval eye gave an alert expression. Good length of neck and level topline with a good length of sloping croup, well laid shoulder and good return of upper arm, with a good bend of stifle and short rear pasterns. Moved with ease, covering the ground with plenty of drive. Pleased to award her Best Bitch and Best of Breed, good luck with her in the future.

OB: (3,1) 1st Greenhill’s Nymph Carpathian Dingo (Imp Svk), 2-year-old blue speckle who appealed for her compact outline. Lovely head and expression with broad skull and strong muzzle, lovely eye and well-set ears. Good topline and depth of chest with well angulated front and rear. I would have preferred a more tightly arched front foot. Moved well. Reserve Best Bitch.

2nd Jebson’s Ch Austmans When in Rome, 2-year-old blue. Very different in style to the winner. Head finer but balanced with a lovely oval eye and strong muzzle and ears a touch bigger. Good neck and length of back with super tail set, but slightly longer in leg. Well angulated front and rear and moved with ease.
