1st: 2568 PRIOR, Mr John & PRIOR, Mrs Amy Houndseeker Dauntless

He won this class over his littermates as he  was the easiest to assess on the day. Standing well over plenty of ground . Head I found a little strong in skull , good neck , shoulders could be better laid, great bone and ribbing, well balanced quarters. Moved true.
2nd: 2559 BURNSIDE, Miss Evelyn & MANLEY, Mr Robert Houndseeker Dragon TAF

I did like this hound and he had better refinement in his head , however he wasn’t easy to assess on the move and was very unsettled today.

Male of excellent breed type, pressed the winner hard here. Shame I had to split hairs! Another really well balanced hound and again great on the move . I’m sure they’ll change places many times . Res CC

1st: 2561 CLARK, Miss S & HAYDEN, Mrs L Ch Farlap Qui Martha (Ai)

What a super youngster!  Not yet two years old and absolutely outstanding in outline on the move. Her construction is so very correct with great bone and depth of chest.  I thought her quite outstanding. My CC and BOB winner today. Well done on making the Group shortlist , well deserved! 
2nd: 2555 BURNSIDE, Miss Evelyn & MANLEY, Mr Robert HOUNDSEEKER BEWITCHED (A.I.)

Another with a very good outline , correct head and eye, nicely made all through, movement rather erratic,  just a bit enthusiastic on the day. Nevertheless won her place on her good construction.
