1st: GEESON, Miss Elizabeth Ch Abydachs Return Of The Night, I fell for this beautiful 3 year old red male. Correct body proportions with no exaggerations and sufficient ground clearance, long head with dark almond shaped eye and correct expression, high set ears of moderate length, long muscular neck into well laid shoulder, for me this boy excels in his front assembly, prominent breastbone with forelegs placed correctly, upper arm close to ribs, moderately long in body with level back, strong loin, ribs extending well backed, broad rump, hindlegs straight, correct feet, well muscled and conditioned, my hands just flowed all over him. To top it off, I then asked the handler to move him and he came alight showing all what he has with drive coming from his hindquarters. Was pleased to award him the CC, BOB and watch him get shortlisted in the group.
