LONG HAIRED

I was very impressed by the quality of the entry. Thinking especially of dogs, there were many with lots to offer. I think that a good dog is often at his best between 3 and 6 years. So a lot of the youngsters have time on their side. One word on the downside there were quite a few with tartared teeth and when you get to the nitty gritty it counts against you.

Properly angulated fore and aft. Lovely feet. Moved out with drive and extension. 2. Newport’s, Rodima Welsh Wizard. 8 months old b/t. Lovely head and eye.
