1st: 6302 BLEVINS, Mrs Lesley & BLEVINS, Miss Kelly Ch & Ir Ch Blevwil Heres To Harriett Ir J Ch A super 18 month old orange and white bitch of real quality. She is well made, well proportioned, and beautifully balanced, displaying the breed typical outline with her long, low frame, strong bone, and clean, flowing lines. She presents an attractive side profile, full of breed type, with correct length of body, a firm, level topline, and an underline offering the right amount of ground clearance for a workmanlike hound. Her head is beautiful: feminine yet unmistakably Basset, with the correct depth, length, and parallel planes, soft expression, and well set ears. She is soundly constructed in front, with a well developed sternum, tight elbows, correct width throughout, and strong, well knuckled feet typical of the breed. On the move she shows the classic Basset action — free, easy, and unhurried, covering the ground with reach and drive, maintaining her outline, and moving true behind with good width and parallel hocks. A quality young bitch, and I was delighted to award her the Bitch CC and Best of Breed.    2nd: 6328 PEARSON, Miss Y C Armardio Wind Of Change JW a sturdy, mature 3½ year old blanket red; she is well-made with a smart, well defined overall profile and firm level topline.
