Breed judge critique -
Howgate & Hull's, Palmik King Arthur JW. Masculine brindle and white parti of 23 months. An honest boy full of quality, good for size well balanced and without exaggeration. Well constructed front assembly, stood square fore limbs straight with desired bladed bone. Good spring of pastern and standing on neat feet. Adequate depth of brisket and strong in loin. His rear angulation mirrored his front. Blown away by his profile movement today, effortless, with enough forward reach and plenty of rear drive he can certainly cover the ground holding a good topline. Foot perfect in all directions carrying his tail correctly in a delicate curve. Handled to perfection BOB, HG3.

Howgate & Hull’s, Palmik King Arthur JW. Not quite 2 years Whippet male who was at first my winner when he entered the ring, top quality hound who is masculine without any coarseness, lovely head and eye, excellent overall conformation and has correct front and hind coordination without any exaggeration, sound mover with good drive and reach, the two above just had more enthusiasm today, less affected by the heat. Group 3
