OB

1)RUTTER-CHRISFORD HELLO, when this bitch entered the ring she took my eye instantly, has quality, style and oozes breed type throughout. Detailed head piece, Elegant curvy bitch with a good front assembly, super proportions, where she comes into her own is on the move, her silhouette with the correct propulsion from behind giving her true ground covering movement. I felt she was a class act today and had hesitation awarding her BIS. Loved her.

Holds her topline well but she really wasn’t that settled and gave her handler a tough time on the move. Nice type and balance who im sure has done and will do well.
