It was interesting to note that the first four in the class were sired by the same dog with second, third and reserve being litter brothers and sisters.
| 1st | Harding & Whitehill QUOYGARD THE POWER OF DREAMS At 13 months this young dog is maturing nicely and shows signs of a very promising career. Pleasing in head with good eye shape and colour blending with coat. Good reach of neck, clean shoulder with good spring of rib with correct depth. He has good angulation fore and aft with a moderate turn of stifle. Well muscled which showed in his positive sound movement and using his tail to its advantage. Just needs to finish off. Pleased to award Reserve Best Dog. |
