A good entry judged outside as requested by the breed. It was very hot in the middle of the day and some hounds were more affected by the heat than others. All mouths were correct with no worn teeth and fronts perhaps slightly better since my last judging of the breed but movement still leaves room for improvement, the majority very close behind with virtually no width between the hocks.

1. FINNETT, Miss S L & HEATHCOTE, Miss N. Hyndsight Desperado. In this slow maturing breed this is a lovely headed young dog with a good eye and expression and neat well folded ears. I liked his strong neck and well laid shoulders, good fill in front and well boned legs. Has a good spring of rib and depth of chest, good loin and well muscled rear with low hocks. A good mover who reached out, covered the ground and looked well in profile. Excellent coat. CC & BOB.
2. FRANCIS, Mr J & BLATCHFORD, Miss W & HELPS Mrs H. Beardswood Strahan At Peopleton A nice size and has a pleasing head but ears could fold better. Has a good neck, depth of chest and ribbing but is rather long and flat in topline. Not as well developed in thigh and second thigh as winner but moved quite well.
