WIRE HAIRED

Thank you for a quality entry. It is a good number of years since I last judged this variety and at that time felt it was the weakest of the 6. however, with careful breeding, imports from around the world and dedication I have to pat breeders on the back and say that this is possibly one of the strongest varieties of the 6 now. Well done.

MPD (2) Two very immature puppies 1 Hasting’s Barding’s Best Mate. Nice head and eye and good length of neck. Ok ribbing. Showed well. 2 Harmer’s Ballanroo All Night Blues. Tight coated dark brindle. Didn’t cooperate at all with handler but just barely over 6 months.

PD (3,1) 1 Phillips’ Tendrow Special Edition. Wow what a superb dark brindle boy. Super head, eye and expression. Prominent forechest, lovely shoulders and well sprung ribs. Good length of body and hammy, well angulated quarters which he powered on the move. Drops down true fore and aft. Strides and drives with excellent outline at all times. CC & BPD. 2 Seath’s Sunsong Totally Frank. Another lovely puppy with a lot to like about him. Unlucky to meet 1st. Light brindle with masculine head.
