MINIATURE WIRE HAIRED

I was pleased to note there were no thin exhibits, all were well covered. Temperaments were excellent. Front and rear movement was poor. I look for a well balanced, free mover and these were sadly lacking. Also toplines need to improve. MPD (5) 1 Young's Tarkus Windy Miller. Smart small brindle. Pleasing head, nice top and underline, good shoulder placement. Moved out well behind. Could improve in front. BP. 2 Moore's Danchivar Feverfew. Pleasing head, good front, well off for bone. Dips in topline on the move. PD (3) 1 Young's Tarkus Harvest Gold. Nice head, well presented and balanced. Moved well keeping a good outline. 2 Moore's Danchivar Euphrasia.
