BELCAM MEMORIAL SPECIAL AWARD SPECIAL YEARLING (3, 1a) 1. Coney’s Mynydd Manod. 16 month bitch. Feminine head with correct shaped hazel eyes, pronounced stop and good ear set. Lean neck leading to correct lay back of shoulders and straight front. Good depth and length of ribs. Level topline leading to good rear assembly. Was rather naughty but did settle and moved OK. 2. Evans’ Rydonmist Shake Rattle Roll. My notes say when he did stand still for a second he does have a lovely outline and everything seems to be in the right place, however he was extremely naughty and didn’t really want to stand to be gone over and movement was also difficult to assess as he was rather enthusiastic. I would like to see him when he settles down as could do well.
