PGD (4,2a) 1 McNaughton’s Cedavoch Under A Spell, houndy, conical head, strong long jaw, well set ears, carried & held proudly, super forechest & has balanced angulation fore & aft. Tight, broad feet. Shaded red with flat coat which accentuated his correct topline & tail carriage. Parallel movement front & rear, good length of stride, showing rear pads. BD, BOB; 2 Fossett’s Africandawns Night Guardian at Brysdax, pleasing red with an attractive conical head, long neck & correct topline. Coat in lovely condition, but could do with a shade more. Underline cuts up a little quickly. Moved true, but maybe just a bit more length of stride needed. OD (5,2) 1 Fossett’s Brysdax Second To None, light red with enough well conditioned flat coat & good ground clearance. Tapering skull & strong in jaw. Well enough off in forechest. Feet a little flatter than ideal. However moved parallel with decent stride, if a little reluctantly. RBD; 2 Hagan & Borsuk’s What A Corker at Follypaws, b/t of a heavier build. Flowed from head right through to tip of tail & held topline on the move. Just a bit lower to ground than I prefer; 3 Hagan & Borsuk’s Ir Ch Badamtams Via Baltica at Follypaws.
PGB (0). OB (1) 1 McNaughton’s Cedavoch Kismet, litter sister to BOB & obviously similar. Attractive feminine tapering head but still strong & houndy. Shaded red with a lovely flat coat & enough feathering. Plenty of forechest & great feet. Moved parallel showing good length of stride. Felt her brother had the better croup for my preference. BB.
