A shade long in his coupling, nice turn of stifle and tail set. Moves happily but not the correct parallel movement. Nicely presented. RBD. 2 Jung's Knocking On Heaven's Door Von Der Loewenburg.

He does have a good driving action when he moves away. OD (1) 1 Bettis' Ch Ornella Country Living. Nicely balanced dog, tan marked. Masculine head with good length, width between the ears and narrowing towards the eye, well filled foreface, good neck and shoulders, straight parallel front, good width of chest, mature body and good spring of ribs, level topline with a correct tail set, well made hindquarters, plenty behind the tail, in good coat and presentation, free, easy, sound mover and showed well.

In a very nice coat and presentation first class. I seriously considered her for the RCC but as she did her final walk, someone made a loud noise which upset her. Her day will come. 2 Jones & Bull's Ornella Idaknow.

Pleased to award her the CC which gives her her UK title (subject to KC approval). BOS. 2 Tobijanski's Ch Zippor Miss Skye. I have admired this girl before but never handled her. She is lovely, gives away a lot in age to the winner, very pleasing head and expression, good neck and shoulders, level topline, nice front, not as filled out and mature in body as the winner but this will come as she matures.
