Bloodhound:

Puppy: 0

Special Yearling; 1,

1, Howie, Avery & Miller Quiet Creeks Limelight At Millvery For Marksbury (IMP USA) 13 month old liver and tan male. Handsome hound with excellent head in size and proportions. Neat hazel eyes and low set thin ears, all adding to his noble expression. Would like a slightly longer neck adding a little elegance to this powerfully built hound. Beautiful angles front and back with ample bone and good muscle tone. Well sprung ribs, nice fore-chest, good depth of chest with enough width for a good set of lungs. Strong straight back and deep loin giving a great coupling, holding him together on the move, covering the ground effortlessly. Confident lad used his stern well on the move. Still some maturing to do but such a "together" hound. BOB.
