Lowchen

Puppy (1 entry, 0 Absent)

1. Golbourne Marcello (Mr R J Morgan-Stanley) – 10 month old boy who has the most appealing head and expression with dark round eyes and excellent nose pigment. Well proportioned muzzle with a good ratio and a good stop. He excels in neck and shoulders and well off for bone. He is an ideal size and shape and a strong loin. He had moderate angulation and moved out well both coming and going, I would like to see him going in a bigger ring and felt he just got going when he had to stop again. Shown in a lovely coat and condition. Best Puppy and Puppy Group 2.

2. Golbourne’s Set in Diamonds (Mr R J Morgan-Stanley) – 10 month old bitch who is personality plus and litter sister to the Puppy winner. She is a shade smaller and shorter and more compact in body and loin. The prettiest of heads with well placed ears and a nice flat skull. Well arched neck and good shoulder placement. She has an excellent topline and well carried tail. Loved her spirit and she moved round the ring with an eye catching outline. Splitting hairs for Best Puppy but had to give way on maturity today.

1. Golbourne Dazzling Diamond (Ms D Dixon) – 15 month old bitch who I found quite captivating with a wonderful personality and beauty in abundance. Such a feminine head and expression with large dark round eyes that are well placed, Excellent head proportions with flat skull and good ear placement. Her reach of neck is exemplar, lovely round bone and good depth of chest for her age. Nice spring of rib and level topline and well set tail that she uses to advantage on the move. It took her time to settle in the class and by the time the group came she never put a paw wrong. She was just breath taking on the move with fabulous reach and drive. She was presented and handled to advantage. In the final move round in the group she had it in the bag and pulled out all the stops against the most enchanting Chihuahua L/C. I couldn’t deny her BOB and Group 1.
