This was my first time giving CC’s in this variety and I felt that whilst there were some
quality exhibits this did not continue throughout the breed. I look for a true hound, with a
touch of elegance, but not lacking in substance, that can move freely and in many cases this
was not what was presented. I make no apology for constantly moving the dogs’ I cannot
judge statues they are hounds after all. Feet on the whole were very poor which is one of
my pet hates. Poor angulation in the rear meant that tummy tapping was more the norm
than the unusual and very few had any drive. Lack of muscle tone was evident in many
exhibits, more road work could help improve some of the above faults. Presentation on the
whole was good but it is what’s underneath the coat that really counts, some were
presented with dirty teeth which is unacceptable. I thought overall the quality in the
bitches was greater than in the males.
