SMOOTH HAIRED

 Thank you for a great entry of 79 making judging a most enjoyable exercise and I thought type was good. A few questionable mouths and some kinky tails. Temperament was the biggest let down. All dogs were clean which was good. Fronts are better than hindquarters and bone and feet were good with short nails. I loved both my CC winners, both typy and sound and beautiful type. Good luck with them! MPD. (7).1 McNaughton's, Cedavoch Honour Bound. My star! Just fell for this outgoing happy baby in a big way. Super size, make and shape. Stunning head, neck and shoulders. Plenty of forechest. Well made body, nice hammy quarters. Sound free mover. Next year will be his. CC and BP. Good luck. 2. Rawson's, Rosenket Kaptin Kirk. Another top drawer puppy. Also well made. Very good head and eye. Well angulated shoulders. Super feet. Well made behind. Moving very well. Another with a bright future. 3. Davies's, Udeg Humming Top. PD. (3). 1.
