1. Miss R. E. Robinson. Korifey Matchy Matchy JW. A medium sized Black female of 17 months, standing she presents a picture of overall balance and elegance, but retaining strength required for the breed. Balanced in head with a long wedge-shaped head, good depth to muzzle, cheeks flat and well filled under eyes. Skull flat, head planes just not quite finished, nose of correct colour to coat, black. Almond shaped and well-set dark eye. Ears small and carried correctly, high, but held close to cheeks. scissor bite with complete dentition. Pleasing length to neck which she carries with a sense of superiority. Good muscle structure at the nape of her neck leading in to well placed shoulders which gives balance between upper arm and shoulder. Her body is square and compact with a well-developed chest, something that is lacking in many. Depth to her chest with ribs well sprung. Elbows lay close with front legs straight with good round bone. Feet correct with well arched toes. She has good strength to a short firm back with her topline gently sloping to croup. Hindquarters are muscular and developing nicely. Legs parallel with straight hocks, well bent stifle of good length. On the move this girl did not disappoint, given that the ring size was somewhat restrictive she was still able to show me a free and purposeful movement, with good reach and drive from her hindquarters. I was delighted to award her BOB.
