Ch Aldoushire Fairest Of Th Ball (Farrah)
~ BEST IN SHOW ~
1st Junior Bitch, Bitch Challenge & /Junior In Show

- Critique -

Black brindle. Standard sized girl that has strength, is well constructed and sound. She has a feminine head with strength without being overdone, pronounced cheek muscles, correct muzzle to skull proportions, round well shaped dark eyes with that soft expression that is so very appealing, scissor bite. She has a strong neck leading into straight front, ample bone, compact well padded feet, depth to brisket, well ribbed back with good spring of rib, short in loin, enough turn of stifle​. Moves well with a level topline. Handled well. Would like to have seen her in harder condition. Loved this girls expression, her overall balance and outline. Very pleased to award her BCC followed by Best in Show. She is a lovely example of the breed.​

Finn 2nd Junior Dog - Show 1

Ran into a good one that I liked here and come out second best, regardless, this is another really nice dog, very close class. A super strong head, maybe a little too much for me, dark enough eye, really nice ear set and nice ears, lovely top line, another well bodied dog that is to be appreciated with great movement, handling was better with the dog as this one delivered on the first request what I was after

Lips tight and clean. Dark eyes and small neat rose ears Correct bite. Front straight and clean. Shoulders well laid back. Although a little longer cast, carries a level topline standing and moving. Her hindquarters are strong and well angled. Another that moves well, with the required economy of effort and true out and back. Presented in good condition.
