SBD (3)

1st: Bell’s Cloverwood Total Legend. The most balanced and typey of the class. Plenty of substance, good length to leg proportions, correct curving topline with sickle tail carriage well on the move. Good spring of ribs, well back. Deep forechest coming down between wide well boned front. Well proportioned head to body, however I would like a little more foreface to balance the head. Broad skull well doomed with a good topknot. Like a little more animation on the move.

2nd: Hoskisson & Hinds’ Medunkove Strane (imp Cze) (Imp). A lot lighter in type and not the substance. Good broad skull with correct doomed foreface, full topknot, well placed large eye, full of expression, correctly set pendulous ear with fine leather. Broad front with good string bone and feet. Good bend of stifle. Movement ok both ways.

3rd: Kenyon & Kenyon’s Ceilmear Close Encounter

MPD (2)

1st: Ascott’s Night Owl. I preferred this one’s type to 2nd. Correct topline and tail set and carriage. Plenty of forechest with good bone and feet. Straight front. Good spring of rib and well back. Pleasing head with correct eye and well set ear, with good leather and tip. Moved parallel both ways with some drive.

2nd: Cundall & Cundall’s Bleaklee Augustus Moddle. Topline not as good as 1st. Plenty of substance with well sprung rib and strong loin. Well let down rear construction. Pleasing head and expression with a good expressive eye. Moved with some style in profile and then put the brakes on. Not so cooperative with handler at the end.

PD (3)

1st: Ascott’s Night Owl.

2nd: Jackman & Jackman’s Carnkie Ragged Robin. Very raw at the moment. Well balanced head peace with correct eye and set ear broad skull and top knot. Hopefully he has finished growing and grows into himself. Good spring of rib and well back. Moved well away with good rear construction. Lovely happy disposition on the move. Topline needs to settle in profile movement. Coat changing so not quite as harsh as it should end up.
