OD (11) 1 Lawson & Hunter's Droolakiss Manson. Light brindle male of 3yrs that just stood out in the class & appeared totally unaffected by the dreadful heat. He looked superb with that look of dash & dare we want to see but it was lacking in many on the day as most dogs were affected by the heat to some degree. This boy had a super well chiselled head piece with long foreface, flat skull, clean cheeks & slight nose ridge & he was filled in under eyes. He had a good mouth with correct dentition & bite & great length & strength of jaw. He eyes were dark & expressive and he had a pleasing forehand assembly with shoulders that sat back at the correct angle & strong boned straight front legs down to firm pasterns and neat cat feet. This boy had a super shapely well covered body with firm strong back, deep brisket, well sprung ribs & slight arch over loin. His rear quarters were excellent with obvious musculation, nice turn of stifle & well developed long second thigh. This boy had attitude & showed a stunning profile outline. He showed beautifully & he moved around the ring with a sure footed easy action, taking strides of equal length with a good forward reach & strong thrust from the rear, which enabled him to cover the ground well & was both economical and pleasing to see. He asked for the ticket & I had no hesitation in giving it & I was pleased to award him the DCC & BOB.
