1st: 5280 SMITH, Mrs L Digaden Top Hat & Tails. This mischievous 9 year old was a little erratic on the move, but he kept his level back. His head has a flat skull and almond shaped eyes. Liked his strong neck which is of good length and flowed nicely into topline. Front ok, body a little too long, rear had good angulation. Mouth OK.

Wedge shaped head of good proportions with a strong muzzle but his light eye did spoil the expression.  Slight rise over loin with  correct tailset and straight tail.

Class 2359 OD (4 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 5279 SMITH, Mrs K & SMITH, Misses J & A Ch Heythrop Task Master For Alncroft.  Liked the overall picture of balance which was rewarded in top honours today.  He was also presented immaculately in good coat. Head is of correct proportions, with small ears and i'd of preferred if eyes were less prominent. Good length of neck widening gracefully into the topline. Equally his underline is gently flowing up from his chest. Straight back, strong loins, correct tail set and carriage. Super rear quarters with hocks set low. BD, BOB.

Good length of body to leg. Back is straight. Correct rear quarters which resulted in good rear movement. Tail set ok. Brought back in for RBD but lost out on overall balance.
