Judge : Chris Bexon
Breed : Italian Spinone
1st Veteran Dog (8 entries)
An old favourite which I gave the CC to last time I judged. I love his overall balance and pure spinone look, his style and deportment on the move cannot be denied, so sound fore and aft. Still retains his topline on the move. Strong hindquarters are the key to this dog's moving abilities, good bend of stifle, moderate length of hock, with a fair amount of muscle. He could have more work in skull, for some, but you only have to look at his superb expression, enhanced by strategic furnishings and you are won over. Serious contender today.
