Well-constructed bitch who presents a good outline standing and moving. Head of pleasing proportions, dark expressive eyes. Long, strong neck, pleasing forehand. Strong muscular body, quite well ribbed back. Strong muscular rear she uses well on the move. Just needs a little more time to fill her larger frame.

1ST 121 - Gadhelic Jack Frost (Mrs L J Moss)

Liver roan dog who is developing well. Excellent head, well chiselled with dark eyes, masculine but in no way overdone. Strong muscular neck, good bone and excellent feet. His body is developing well and he’s ribbed well back. Shown in muscular condition and moving out well in all directions. Presented in first class order and showing to advantage.

2ND 123 - Elgert Into The Unknown (Ms G Osborn)

Blue roan bitch on the smaller side but retaining good balance. Feminine head, dark almond shaped eyes but I would prefer a little more finish to her head and muzzle. Neck strong and of good length.

1ST 118 - Sh Ch Nadavin Expectation of Vraibleu (Mr G & Mrs E A Hazell)

Quality bitch who is typical in outline. I liked her head, well chiselled and with dark eyes of correct shape. Pleasing forehand, good legs and feet. Her body has good depth and is well ribbed, and she is shown in muscular condition throughout. Long, flat silky coat, well presented. RBOB

2ND 124 - Killara's Pass The Crown to Elgert JW (Imp Usa) (Ms G Osborn)

Liver and tan bitch who was giving a bit away in terms of age and maturity to 1. More compact body, which was muscular and well ribbed back, firm in topline, docked tail well set and carried. Stands on good feet and is balanced in her angulation. Giving her handler a hard time both standing and moving. Once settled moved with a good action holding her outline.

Bracco Italiano dog who has matured on well since I last judged him. Strong and well balanced, almost square in outline.

Moved out well in all directions.

 2ND 72 - Sh Ch Highclare Only One avec Tailliside (ai) JW (Miss F Cook)

I have judged this dog multiple times this year and my opinion has not changed, he belies his age in terms of condition and how he moves. Of ideal size with moderate bone, neck of medium length, muscular shoulders, elbows set close to his body. Deep in chest, rib cage well rounded, short and strong through the loin. Moderately bent stifles, thighs muscular. Moved on a brisk short stride, holding his topline.
