1ST - Sh Ch Crumpsbrook Woodrush (Ms J E & Mr A E Powell & Murrell) – I thought this 7 yr old was so typey. He had no exaggeration, good bone and was in hard, muscular condition. Beautiful head which had good length and width. Beautiful dark eyes. Strong neck which flows into his well laid shoulders. Deep chest of good width, good spring of rib and short, strong loin. Well turned stifles and his hocks are well let down. Effortless movement keeping his shape. BD, BOB & BV.
