Rhodesian Ridgeback
Junior 2 (1). 1. Hurn’s Abayomi the Light Fantastic 17 month b who shows promise. Well presented & handled. She moved out well both ways despite being still in that ‘gangly stage’. She has a super head into an elegant neck and good shoulder placement. Good level top-line held well and presented a super outline stacked.
Graduate 2 (1). 1. Chesshire’s Wingsdancin Angel Sheknah 3 year old d not overly co-operative with his handler on the move but you could see that there was sound movement. Good RR head, neck into well placed shoulders. Correct rear, well angulated and showed a pleasing outline standing. RBOB
Open 3. (1) 1. Hurn’s Rufus on the Lawn A liked this d, a mature masculine boy who has great ring presence, very well handled & presented. He gave a super outline stacked, good head, neck & shoulders, good level top-line held well on the move which he did purposefully but effortlessly. He really drove round the ring from strong well-muscled quarters. BOB
Afghan Hound
Graduate 2 (1). 1. Vardy’s Altside Mr Bennet. Exuberant youngster who gave his handler a tough time. When she kept 4 feet on the ground moving it was clear to see there was good movement from this puppy b. She has a pleasing head, good neck and topline with correct rear end. She shows promise and with firmer handling (more practice) should do well but so difficult to judge today. BOB & BPIB
Open 1. 1. Vardy’s Altside Mr Bennet.
PBGV
Open 3(1). 1. Scott’s Soletrader Ain’t Actin Up at Overbecks ShCM. Showy little b that lived up to her name, but lots of character and showed herself to perfection. Typical head & expression into sufficient neck and well placed shoulders. Great top-line held well on the move which she did with both reach & drive with a super outline stacked. BOB & pleased to award her G3. 2. Puckett’s Overbecks Artie Fishel ShCM.
AVNSC Hound
Puppy 3 (1). 1. Barham’s I. Wolfhound Neverending Love Von Der Erzminen. Raw young puppy b but with great promise. Still very leggy and awkward on the move but it’s all there. Typical head & expression, really good neck into good shoulders. Gives an excellent shape stacked, with good angulation. BPIB, RBOB & PG 4. 2. Starlings BFDB Mochras Marignac.
Graduate 3 (2) 1. Starlings Mochras Marignac BFDB Nice little puppy b but not co-operating with her handler too well so movement was difficult to assess. Showed a pleasing outline while she was briefly stacked ok and has a good head. Good rear angulation and looks to have all the attributes but a real fidget. BOB
