Burton On Trent Kennel Association

A massive thank you to the committee for the invite, even as a stand in judge. I found all dogs to be clean, well presented and of sound temperament. An enjoyable first appointment.

BEAGLES: Puppy: (2) 2abs. Post Graduate: (3) 1st Stoddard & Spavins Dialynne Cover Story: 16 month, Lovely tri blanketed boy, soft face with good head proportions and dark eye. Held topline on move and moved at a good even pace. Good bone, angulation was even all round, lovely tail set. Front seemed a bit loose and rangy, could be due to age. RBOB. 2nd Dennis’ Summerlily Ridgy Didge, much heavier boy than first. Lovely dark pigment and eyes, no doubt every bit masculine. Dark blanket, moved positively for handler, well-conditioned and a good level topline held at all times. Lovely round bone down to feet. 3rd Moonjoon Lily of The Valleys For Houndscoast. Open (3) 1abs. 1st Websters Dialynne Numero Uno ShCM. 6 year old tri dog, aging well, good muscle and coat condition. Enjoying his time in the ring, lovely to see free stood and showed.
