Three Counties

The number of correct harsh coats could have been counted on one hand. This is an important breed point and needs attention. Also, there were some weak rear ends which spoilt the hind movement. Perhaps attention to their exercise regime is needed.

PD(9) A lovely class of promising puppies. 1 Court's Ballyheige Burretiokentia. Masculine head, good neck into shoulder, ribbed well back, shapely quarters, sufficient bone, moved on a smooth stride. 2 Hawksby's Benboee Beguiling At Delahawk. Very smart. Pleasing shape and is well balanced. Liked his head, neck, forechest, good legs and feet, well set on tail, held his topline on the move. 3 Brown &Davies' Gamebourne Dark Indulgence.

GD(1) 1 Jones' Barleyarch Drummer. Well developed dog, masculine head, good depth, strong topline, good legs and feet, powerful mover. Would prefer a lower tail carriage when moving.

PGD (4) 1 Harwood's Barleyarch Thrupence. Masculine dog of good build. Typey head, moderate neck, plenty of depth, firm topline and quarters, well off for body, sound and powerful on the move. 2 Dynmond's Friarsbelle Marsh Mellow. Liked his head and neck, has good depth, shown in good coat, not as positive in hind movement as ideal.
