We were unfortunate with the weather today. The rain and snow did seem
to have an effect on the dogs making many unhappy on the stand and
unsettled on the move.

At only 10mths this young man belies his age. A super shape with
correct proportions. Lovely head and eye, correct ear set. Well
laid shoulders, lovely fore-chest, good bone and feet. Good
spring and depth of ribbing, short strong loin to well rounded

1st Greenwood’s Ansoma Blue Bell at Nikrick
2yr B. Fine and feminine. Nice head and eye, super lay of
shoulder, lovely fore-chest, Well ribbed back giving good
length. Super rear angles. Best of movers with a free flowing,
ground covering gait and true coming and going. In my opinion
she presents a better outline when the hander does not over
stretch her. RBOB |

Straight front with good bone and well arched feet. Well sprung
ribs of good depth. Strong loin to well muscled and correctly
angulated rear. Effortless on the move with free ground covering
