Veteran Bitch (1)
1st: MASON Ch Tolberg Beez Kneez at Teckeltown
 

I can’t deny initially I was a little disappointed at the quantity of the entries for both Breeds, but understandable after the Houndshow weekend of Shows and it being a weekday. However there was quality right through the entry and I really enjoyed my judging. Thank you to my efficient and very considerate Stewards.

1st Webster’s Indiko Eternal Flame – black and cream puppy bitch, really appealed for well made body, and his angles at shoulder and rear appeared in balance. Foreface perhaps a little longer and narrower than ideal but presented in super coat and condition . Free striding and active on the move . BSB

1st Drady’s Indiko Fire And Ice – attractive cream, all of a piece with good body to height proportions. Skull and muzzle of equal distance, and almond shape to eye. Liked reach to neck and decent length to upper arm. Rounded rump, moves with drive. One to watch. BPD

2nd McGavigan and Pettigrew’s Pettigan’s Leo Of Leadhills – shaded red with pleasing head of balanced proportions. A little heavy in forefront but good length to ribbing and nicely angled at rear

1st May’s Scrumptious Red On The Dot JW - well muscled and compact, with 2 to 1 body shape, this gleaming red had a masculine head with strong jaw and almond eye. Reach to neck and well ribbed back with prominent prosternum and well angled front and rear. Initially he disappointed on the move until an extended pitstop, after which he moved freely with reach and drive. RCC

2nd Morrin and Barbi’s Zilcan Vanilla Ice For Arlatdax JW – shaded cream presented in super coat. A little more width across skull and foreface but good length to neck and decent angulation. Free striding mover

1st Bell’s Indiko Touch Of Cream at Tolberg – this lovely black and cream is so well made all through, well proportioned in head, almond eye shape and reach to neck.
