DOBERMANN GRADUATE (1)

1st BOWDLER - ROSEBEBE BEAM ME UP FOR INVERTEIGN

A medium size 10 month old, square, brown and rust male puppy. This young boy has a beautiful head piece with a well filled blunt wedge and parallel planes, flat skull and good length of muzzle, underjaw and the correct scissor bite. He also has dark almond eyes and an alert expression. His ears are set high on his head, bringing everything together giving his head the overall finish. He has good bone and substance with straight legs down to sturdy catlike feet. He has a good length of neck, which is strong for his age and flows into a sloping topline. I would prefer the shoulder placement to be slightly further back, giving his front more angulation, to allow for a more fluid side gait. He moved well, coming and going. He is still, at this stage developing into his frame, giving much to look forward to as he matures. BPIB, PG3.

1st - CALDICOTT - ARITAUR CIRILLA WITH PHILMONT JW

A 3 year old medium size, black and rust bitch, who was carrying a little weight today. A feminine head with a good length of muzzle, her ears appeared on the larger side in proportion to her head, she has the correct almond shaped eye, a moderate stop and the correct bite. Her chest is tight, with straight legs, down to strong pasterns and catlike feet. Her length of neck is good, which flows into her moderate shoulder placement, and nicely into her slightly sloping topline, which today needed some conditioning to complete the ‘poured into’ finish. Her tail set is good and the tail curls around. Front angulation is good and rear bend of stifle is a little straight. With purpose, she moved soundly around the ring, coming and going with correct foot placement on the side gait. BOB
