My first time awarding CCs in this breed & my thanks to all exhibitors for the numerically large entry. I found there was a great diversity in type which made some classes very challenging. Rear movement in a great many cases was very questionable with hocks almost rubbing together when moving away from me.

Yearling Bitch (6 entries)
| 1st | Savory ALLIANCE DE LA VIE RABBIT RACER (IMP NLD) I thought this young bitch was absolutely superb. For me she exemplifies the breed standard. Not overdone in anyway. Excellent head & expression with correct ear set. Well laid shoulder & corresponding return of upper arm. Her brisket reaches to the elbows & she is well ribbed showing moderate tuck up. Correctly set tail. Well made hindquarters with correct hock to heel placement. Excellent bone & feet. Her coat is of the correct density & texture. Movement sound & free - both fore & aft & displaying a good open side gait when viewed in profile. Beautifully shown & handled I had no hesitation in awarding her the CC & BOB. |
