2^nd	Ward FLUSHPOINT WHATA ARISTOCRAT AT MELANITTA VW (IMP SWE) ). Smaller dog, again a great expression, I preferred his headshape to one but today he was losing his topline on the stack. Movement straight and true

Open Bitch (3 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Palfrey FLUSHPOINT WHATA ACCIDENT FOR MELANITTA SHCM VW (IMP SWE) Two nice bitches, first more balanced and shorter in the back than second. Alert attentive expression with head of correct shape. This girl had lovely forehand angulation, well sprung ribs, strong loin and good width to her thighs. RBOB
2^nd	This bitch did not have quite as much substance as first, pretty head and expression. She had nice deep brisket, elbows tucked in well. A little longer in rib than 1 which affected her topline today.
