Sound, well-angulated hindquarters, legs parallel of good width and strong. Eye catching profile, which is balanced. One that really came into his own on the move with a true positive gait having extension and drive. Pleased to award him Reserve CC and Best Puppy in Breed. 2 McNaughton’s Cedovoch Born To Boogie typy 6 mo with plenty of promise and quality, which looks good for the future. He has all the essential bone and basic structure, which I am sure with maturity, will ensure he will blossom. He is of good size, make and shape and, although is very much a puppy, he has a pleasing profile with good angles front and rear. A bit reluctant on the move but did enough to show his movement will be good.

Good fore chest, true enough in front but would prefer him to be tighter in elbow and feet. Carrying enough substance in body, which deters from his construction qualities.
