He’s a deep even colour.  His head is a good length with very dark points and his well shaped eyes are dark and full of expression.  Good neck and shoulders, mature in body and rib. Elegant and free moving, he really covered the ring well with some drive from his well angulated hindquarters. His carriage and deportment were exemplary.  CC and Best Puppy.
