Basset Fauve De Bretagne

Veteran Dog or Bitch (1,0)

1. Leech’s Ch & Ir Ch Gavelkind Conquistador by Jamchala. 11 year old. Masculine dog in super nick for his age. Super head proportions with lovely expression. Muscular neck into a well angulated front. A touch long in the body for ideal proportions but he is well ribbed back and has super depth. Very firm in topline which he holds on the move. Strong, well angulated rear. Correct tail set and carriage. Moved soundly with plenty drive from the rear, holding his outline. RBD & BV.

Junior Dog (1,0)

1. Allenby’s Revenite Sergeant Wilson for Rangali. Attractive young dog who is excellent for proportions. Beautiful head, eye and expression, with well set ears. Still quite ‘shelly’ and a touch narrow through the body at present, but plenty time on his side. Level topline and well set tail. Balanced and moderate in angulation. Unfortunately not his day moving, seemed to be unsettled and picking his feet up somewhat, but still showed sound movement. Sure he will have better days.

Open Dog (2,0)

1. Robertson’s Ch Dyfrgi’s British Hart with Soletrader (Imp). Super young male, ideal for proportions and totally balanced. He is certainly ‘all of a piece’ and flows throughout. Masculine head of correct proportions, with dark eyes and well set ears. Super neck and front with well laid shoulders and neat elbows. In good body and excellent condition, with a harsh jacket. Super tail, set on high and carried perfectly on the move. Excellent mover, so sound up and down and goes on a balanced and active stride in profile with a lovely carriage. BD & BOB.

2. Leech’s Lux Ch Mochras Mahlord Rupert JW. Houndy and masculine dog. Longer in proportions than 1, I’d like him more compact. Pleasing head with moderate dome, correct eye shape and expression. Muscular neck and firm, level topline. Fairly well angulated shoulder and upper arm, good bone and feet, but I would like straighter forelegs and more true front movement. Good ribbing. Super strength in his rear with excellent width of thigh. Moves on a lengthy profile stride holding his outline.

Puppy Bitch (1,0)

1. Allenby’s Rangali Cookies And Kreme. Good for size and proportions, just needs to settle into her rear as looking a little unbalanced at present. Sweet head with dark eyes and pigment. Pleasing front construction with straight forelegs and tight feet. Chest already quite deep and well filled forechest for age. Well bent stifles. Very true going away and has a lovely profile stride, again just a touch bum high on the move at present. Super coat texture. Has quality, just needs time. BP.

Post Graduate Bitch (1,0)

1. Drake’s Mochras Halee. Still a young bitch with more maturing to do but she has super proportions and a pleasing outline on the stack which I admired. Undeniably feminine in head with dark pigment. Well set and folded leathers. Slight crook to her forelegs, perhaps could have a touch more bone. Well angulated hindquarters with well let down hocks. Really quite difficult to assess her movement on the day as she was a little preoccupied, but showed some glimpses of sound movement.

Open Bitch (1,0)

1. Thornton & Leech’s Ch Lux Ch Mochras Mahgaux JW. Super bitch who is the ultimate showgirl and particularly impresses with her carriage. She has excellent proportions and is very well balanced. Pleasing head proportions, with a bright expression from her dark eyes. Well made front with plenty forechest. Ribs well sprung and level topline, firmly carried on the move. Perhaps a touch too tucked up in underline. Strong rear which she uses very well. Harsh jacket. A very coordinated and active mover, particularly pleasing from the front and side. Lovely bitch. BB & BOS.
