An 18 month old bitch of lovely type. Feminine head with dark eye and well set on small ears. Dark harsh coat. Good length of neck into well laid shoulder, straight forelegs with good feet and pasterns. Nice outline with correct rise over loin and droop to hindquarters. Good bend of stifle. Nothing overdone but would like more of her.

Another attractive, feminine bitch. Three years old, balanced with good harsh coat. Eye could be darker. Strong neck leading into good shoulder. Straight forelegs, adequate fore chest and goodribbing. Good depth of brisket. Held her topline on the move. Good tuck up and well muscled overall. Best mover today. BOB
2. Taylor’s Cotherstone Dalmore.
Six year old male with super temperament. Well off for bone. Typical head and expression with that lovely ‘faraway’ look. Out moved today by his younger counterparts but nonetheless a nice hound.
