Deerhound Club Limited Show (South) Specials 2023 Critique

Not Bred by Exhibitor 14 (5)

  1. Ms M Girling’s Chuilinn Flare 13 months young lady – well-shaped head and skull, small glossy ears folded well back, moderately dark eyes with a very definite faraway look ! Good line of head into neck and neck into well laid shoulders. Well boned throughout. Deep chest and good length of pleasantly arched loin. Coat good texture and still has development to come. So naughty but came into her own with light long strides as she took over the ring on the move. Long tail held correctly completed the picture.

  2. Spring-Arnold’s Hyndsight Only In My Dreams 2 years, a very elegant houndy lady, good shape to head with steady tapering and nice aquiline touch to the nose, long neck into well laid shoulders. Well filled in and a deep chest. Elbows well in and good bone throughout. This girl excelled in outline standing with a very pleasing topline, a smooth line from shoulder to loin and a smooth transition to correct arch of loin and sloping fallaway. Moved soundly with good stride. Well developed harsh coat.

  3. Finnett & Heathcote’s Antonius Vertragus The-Mara-River with Hyndsight 10 months B

Bred by Exibitor 10 (6)

  1. Lucas & Dargonne’s Packway Smackfarthing 3 years, such a sound girl, strong and well-made, with lovely head and expression from darkest of eyes. Small glossy ears folded back, prominent nape and excellent neck into good shoulders. Good topline with arched loin. In such good condition with well muscled and well angulated hind quarters. Moved with a light but determined action. Harsh, crisp coat in all the right places.

  2. Helps’ Beardswood Xanthe 9 months, baby girl and very elegant, refined head of correct shape, long neck and good arch to loin. This girl is well filled in on chest and her elbows, straight forelegs and hindquarters are well boned. She still has a way to go but moves with lots of enthusiasm.

  3. Finnett & Heathcote’s Hyndsight Wicked Game 10 months B

New Members 2 (1)

  1. Walker’s Luckhurst Windigo 2 years, this boy is quite a handful but was very eager to please his handler. A strong hound with good bone and muscle throughout. Dark eye in a well shaped head abundantly furnished with moustache. Deep chest and strong hindquarters. Moved a little erratically but with drive and enthusiasm.

Brace 10 (7)

  1. M & G Peach – such a picture, these two moved in complete harmony. Well done !

  2. S & N Finnett & Heathcote – completely matched in head and colouration, just a little too enthusiastic to hold it all together but such fun !

  3. R & CV Lucas & Dargonne – another well matched pair who just lost the plot a bit but again had fun !
