BCC 1st Junior Bitch
Critique -
Howgate & Hull’s, Tervanty Dragon Song At Palmik JW. What an exquisite looking bitch. A perfect size and so elegant. The palest cream seal skin coat with brilliant white trim in tip top condition with just the right muscle tone. So balanced whether stood or on the move. Her head is a joy. Long and lean with dark oval eyes and small neat rose ears which look even more impressive when she is baited and uses them. Such alert expression at the same time the loyal kindness that is the essence of a whippet. Her silhouette is just a series of gentle curve from the slight crest of neck, along her top line over her croup to the carriage of her tail. Despite her young age, she has a well-developed fore chest and deep brisket. Her rib cage is well sprung and of good length. Length of loin to balance with slight rise over. On the move she is light on her feet and covers ground with ease with long low reach and drive from her hind quarters. Very accurate footfall in side gait where she holds her top line and her low set tail follows the line of her hind legs perfectly. Moved with such precision away and back too. Her grace, elegance, size and soundness clinched the BCC against even younger, but very strong competition.
