Thank you to your committee for inviting me to judge and looking after me so well. Thank you to the exhibitor’s for taking my decisions so sportingly. It was a breath of fresh air to hear so much clapping and see so many smiling faces. Temperaments often discussed were good and most of the exhibits were gone over on a loose lead. My winners pleased me greatly but several others went without top awards who could easily take them on another day.

PD (1) 1 Chauhan, Neithund Angus At Raajput, 10 month old shaded red, lovely head of correct proportions, lovely shaped eye, ear set all set on a good length of neck, well placed shoulders with good ribbing and balanced loin, rear assembly balanced to create a lovely picture moved out well with a good topline throughout to take the Res CC and BPIB.

JD (4,3) 1 Moes & Williams, Glenariff You’re Excused Cwmdarhian. Shaded red and just out of puppy, lovely type with a correct head, lovely dark eyes and correct ear set. Good reach of neck and shoulder, pleasing topline over a goof keel and ribbing. Balanced throughout pushed hard in the challenge.

Red 2 year old, filled the eye when he entered the ring, great hounds head with correct ratios, good eyes and ears placed well for a nice expression, good reach of neck into lovely shoulders.

Moved out with power and precision to take the class, DCC and BOB. 2 Jones & Moes, Cwmdarhian Gordon Ramsay, shaded red 21 months, another top draw boy from this kennel. All of the comments apply to this boy as of the winner lost out on movement not as precise as winner or the RCC winner. 3 Heels & Heels, Daxanory Menacing Dennis.
