Good forehand, well defined withers. Good depth of chest. Naturally, stands well. Moved soundly with a good side gait but she needed more room and I would like to see her outside or in a bigger ring. Truly excellent temperament.

Two very typical Veteran males, calm sensible temperaments and they showed and were handled to best advantage.

 O

1 Lawless and Donaldson’s Ch & Ir Ch Revloch Kasanova JW ShCM VW ShCEx OSW. BOB. Nearly 11 years of age and moderate in all respects. Clean, dry well-balanced head with alert expression. Nicely arched neck and good body with depth of chest and strong loin. Moved well with a light easy action and he scored here today as he was in very good coat.

2 Bird and Caden’s Hawksflight Paparazzi at Domburg. I’m pretty certain I have admired this boy in the past. Very typical head. Good forehand with moderate angulation and he too moved with an easy, brisk action.

 Hungarian Pumi

 G

1 Benstead’s Schnaubern Gakyid Star. BOB. Relaxed and easy to handle on the table but just a little tense on the rather shiny floor. Once relaxed, he moved soundly with a light, brisk pace. Attractive, typical head with good ears and expressive eyes. Straight, moderately boned legs. Good coat.

 O

1 Harvey’s Ir Ch Sertepeti Cseperke to Pumiden. Good skull and well placed ears. Nicely arched neck. Well balanced and shown in good coat. Well pigmented with strong, black nails too! Another who wasn’t terribly happy on the floor and although sound, she tended to pace which cost her BOB.

 AV Imported Register Breeds (Pastoral)

This was the first time I have had the pleasure of handling this breed although I have watched them when I have been abroad. These two pups should help to provide a good basis for the breed in the UK as they are both typical with happy, confident temperaments and are soundly made. I gave the nod to Tin Tin as he displayed a little more drive on the move. A pleasure to judge them both.
