2nd Open Dog
again a really lovely dog to go over. Slightly smaller throughout than 1, but similar in many ways. Such a correct outline on the stack, nothing over done but just correct. Head of lovely shape and proportions, very expressive eye, good colour. Neck correct with good shoulder placement, nice front angulations allowing good footfall on the move, not as strong in loin as 1, he just dropped his topline slightly on the move but such a lovely dog to go over, moved with drive.

2nd Open Dog Or Bitch
One I have done well previously as a younger dog and he did not fail to impress today. Excellent overall type and shape, being slightly shorter in body than 1. Excellent head shape with plenty of skull and correct amount of stop. Well angled forehand with straight limbs and tidy feet. Excellent maturity through his body, holding a level topline at all times. Prefer more bend of stifle to be critical. Goes with real gusto on the move maintaining his shape at all times.

This d is lovely to go over, but really excels on the move and his handler gets the very best out of him. Uses every inch of his well constructed body to advantage going around, where he produces a sound economic stride with excellent length of stride, no over-reaching, and accuracy of footfall. In first class order and well handled. In the challenge he just lowered his head and went around with such ease to take BoB.

2nd Open Dog Or Bitch
Unlucky to meet his father today! Really appealed for his compactness, strength and medium size. Masculine wedge-shaped head with good shape and breadth to skull. Moderate stop and correct tapering to muzzle. Excellent forehand with good length and angle of upper arm with well developed forechest. Strong topline with correct length of leg. To be critical, I would prefer a little more bend of stifle. Croup and tailset is correct. He can be considered a little unassuming on the stack, on the move this dog is hard to not notice! Steady and sound both going and coming with a very determined, jaunty and ground covering side gait using his excellent front to advantage while demonstrating a typical lowered head carriage. RBOB, congratulations!

Litter brother to 1, he too was shown in excellent condition for his age with good muscle tone and handled well. He doesn't quite have the angulation and driving movement of his sister, but still strong in topline with balanced and moderate construction. Will be interesting to see how he matures and settles in his movement.
