Show critiques for 2014
LKA 14/12/14
Good tri whom I judged in March at an open show, he took my eye then & has matured well since,
of the right size & overall balance & proportions, pleasing bone & good body,
well ribbed back, well angulated hindquarters which he uses to show pleasing drive from behind,
carries himself well in profile

Quality without anything too flashy, this 16 month tri boy is just lovely. He has a super head, dark eye, strong & good length to neck, great front assembly & depth to chest, powerful loin, & well angulated rear. Good bone throughout. Even topline, held firm on the move. Moved extremely well, & shown in tip top condition. BOB

Tri boy 15 months & maturing well. Pleasing head with correct earset. Good depth of chest, round bone.
Level topline held on the move with correct tailset. Good rear action, good turn of stifle & moving out freely
Nikki Peterson
West Mercia Beagle Club 2/11/14
15 months and an exciting prospect. Great moving dog and this comes from excellent front shoulder and upper arm,
giving scopey reach in front and driving well from rear. He could be a little shorter in couplings but really houndy
with a quality head and expression, with full maturity he should go far. Pressed hard in the challenge.

Stuart Mallard
Windsor 26/6/14
What a cracking future prospect for the males. Rich in colour & in lovely coat condition & tight jacket, so clean in front & rear action & covered so much ground while barely breaking into a sweat. Classy in head, gorgeous eye shape & hazel in colour, it was masculine enough but not overdone. Didn’t make the best of himself on the slippery table but once he had the grip of the grass between his toes, there was no stopping him. Look forward to seeing him when he has matured.
Exceptionally well handled & presented. Seriously considered for the RCC. BPD
