4y b NSDTR Love the name! This exhibitor had 2 nice dogs for me to go over and both well handled. This one has a very nice head and body just didn’t hold the topline as well as 1. Otherwise similar remarks apply.

2ndStrevens TOLLISTY YOU CAN'T DECLINE
2 y d What a great entry of NSDTR at the show. I had a lot of practise going over these dogs so thank you for entering. This is a super dog. He’s very balanced and strong. Stands four square every time. I liked his wedgey nicely worked head and triangular ear perfect when alert. Most of all he’s got a super body. Level topline held on the move covering the ground with reach. Parallel out n back. Tail well set and carried correctly on the move.
