First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Miss S Dandy
Has all the qualities to easily do a day’s work and follow a horse. Appealed greatly for his type and ideal size being masculine but moderate. Really good to go over and presented in a fit, honed condition, with his superb blue and tan jacket he looked a picture standing and did not disappoint on the move. Has a classic head of good proportions with super reach of neck into an excellent topline and tailset, held so well on the move, a superb underline with lovely narrow body, good ribbing, easily spanned. Everything flows on this boy with well-matched soundly constructed quarters, good legs and feet with excellent pasterns and hocks to finish the picture. Plenty of power on the move using his racy but strong backend to great effect to give drive. In great form. DCC, his third I believe, well deserved.
