Graduate Dog or Bitch (2 entries)

1^st

Ward MELANITTA PALMATA JW
8 month old dog, good size for age, liked his head, nice wedge shape but needs time to finish, good dentition, flews and eye. Strong in neck for age, well laid back shoulder as required, ample substance so far. Nicely muscled on top of shoulders, deep enough in rib and strong, short loin. Carrying a good topline into a correct croup and tail set. Well muscled rear, good turn of stifle, not long in the hock. Moved out with purpose, with drive. Good tail carriage. BP.

2^nd

Hipkiss REDAURORA COMET'S CHRISTMAS OF DELTANDAMBA
8 year old bitch, typical head shape and with moderate stop. Good muzzle, eye shape and ear set. Preferred neck on first but good lay of shoulder with ample substance. Deep enough and long enough in rib and correct bone. Short enough loin. Preferred topline on first when presented, topline held better on the move. Good rear quarters, correct in angulation, enough muscle. Moved out straight and with a reasonable amount of drive. Preferred movement on first today.

1^st	Hipkiss ERIKACHEN O'RUADH FOR DELTANDAMBA JW SHCM SHCEX Four year old dog, one I have watched from ringside on several occasions. Did not disappoint and headed this quality class. Typical head, wedge shaped and of good balance, moderate in stop, good dentition and flews, strong neck, excellent lay of shoulder, ample substance yet not heavy, deep in rib, short loin, carried the best topline in the class. Well muscled rear quarters, correct in stifle, excellent in feet. Tail carriage as desired. Movement lively and typical. Straight and sound. Presented in an excellent coat condition. BOB & G4.
2^nd	Palfrey FOXDOWN BERTIE ALLSORTS SHCM . 8 year old bitch in quite an excellent condition. Loved her head and expression, well balanced foreface and stop. Strong in a well covered neck, another with good lay of shoulder and excellent substance. Deep and long in rib, strong loin. Topline not quite as good as first, but no lack of strength. Good croup and tailset. Well muscled rear quarters of correct angulation. Good upper and lower thighs. Another with excellent feet. She pushed 1 all the way for the class and her movement is sound and straight but I preferred first's liveliness on the day.
3^rd	Ward MELANITTA HEALSTETHER Bitch at nearly 4 years old, lots of quality, just missed out today. Lovely breed type and sound mover.
