MINIATURE WIREHAIRED

 J (7). 1 Holgate’s Drakesleat Gaysha Girl at Nadavin. Pleasing head, dark eye, good mouth and ear set. Nice harsh jacket. Well laid shoulder and sufficient forechest. Top line good and kept on the move. Good rear angulation. Moved well. BP; 2 Brechin’s and Herbert’s Stargang Mystic Charm. Liked the head and expression. Good dark eye and good dentition. Nice front with keel and correct front angulation. Shorter in rib than winner and could have used some more angulation in rear quarters. Good coat texture. Moved well but was a real fidget standing; 3 Donough’s Varrich Strathmurrin.

PG (2). 1 Blackburn’s Kanix HIlda at Stargang. Just loved this youngster. Good feminine head and expression with dark eye. Super front with sweep of keel. Nice reach of neck into well laid shoulder. Good length of upper arm to give correct angulation in front. Top line kept at all times. Strength in loin. Nicely rounded stifle with good muscle and correct angulation. Lovely mover with plenty of drive on nice neat feet. Excellent coat. A pleasure to go over. BB and BOB; 2 Shank’s Stargang Music Maestro at Hickbar. Pleasing head with good eye. Rather straight in front due to short upper arm so this affected his front and he lacked keel. Good length of rib and good rear quarters. Top line was so good and so was coat.
