I would like to thank the Committee for inviting me to Judge Deerhounds at their show. I would also like to thank my efficient steward & the exhibitors for their support.
Junior
1st Finnett and Heathcote’s Hyndsight Restless Spirit . Very shapely 16 month old bitch with a beautiful head and expression, dark eye and crisp coat. Well balanced and of good length and bone. Excellent shoulder placement and with good return of upper arm. Nice width in the rear with good fallaway and strong hindquarters. Good bend of stifle and low hocks. Movement a little wayward to begin although she did settle and had a good stride. Really look forward to her future
2nd Finnett and Heathcote’s How You Remind Me. Another dark shapely bitch of 16 months, good head and expression. Lovely length of neck and good shoulder placement, not such a deep chest as 1 at the moment. Good strong hindquarters and bend of stifle. Movement lacking today.
