Judge’s Critique:

Class 2029 VD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: STEPHENS, Sh Ch Brightmeadow Never Say Die JW Sh.CM – still retains lovely balance when coming up to 8 years old. Kind expression on typical masculine head. Strongly muscled neck, correct angulation front and rear. Straight front with strong bone and super feet. Deep chest, short loin and firm topline.

1st: STEPHENS, Brightmeadow Come On Eileen – 10 months, petite with a pretty head. Good front assembly with correct forechest. Nicely made with bone appropriate to size. Currently a little up on the rump. Moved with style and drive. In better coat than 1.

2nd: MAY, Overbore Two Soups – 7 months. Needed more experience to settle her. Bigger all through with a lovely outline. Very pretty head, well-angulated front and rear. Unsettled on the move and difficult to assess. Coat not at its best.

Deep body to well-fitting elbows and short loin. Strong hindquarters from which she moved with style and drive. In good coat and condition.

2nd: STEPHENS, Sh Ch Ravenho Up Town Girl For Brightmeadow JW – more feminine than 1 . Similar good overall construction, with better hind angulation than 1, but not in as good coat.
