MPD 1 Gillie’s Dorrator Gethan. Quality in type, classic head good strong jaw gentle expression, correct neck placement into excellent lay of shoulder and return upper arm, so important. Well sprung brisket with depth and width so plenty of heart and lung room correct coupling and length of loin, has very good width of second thigh, good length from hip to well let down hocks correctly set on rudder and strong. So important for balance when the hound turns. Superb strong rear end on one so young. Moved out with real drive and has a ground eating action thanks to the good shoulder very promising indeed and one I shall watch with interest No hesitation in awarding him Best Puppy. 2 Hutchinson’s Chuilinn Pirates Gold. The most lovely of heads, taller hound than one and going through that gangly growth spurt age, good height to length ratio lovely ribbing and croup with excellent tail set; needs time to grow in this slow maturing breed they change from day to day, sweetest of natures again so very important.
