PD (1) 1 Wilson & Daniels’ Hamiltonhill Fred D Mercury, promising hound, balanced head, good eye shape. Would like a finer ear. Good reach of neck, well boned, flowing topline, sound easy mover.

JD (1) 1 Honeyball’s Wolfcastle Idole for Honeytail, elegant dog with clean lines, well developed front & good spring of rib. Would like him to stand over more ground behind. Moved well in profile. Needs to tighten in front.

PGD (3,1a) 1 Piggott’s Greyzicon Blythe Spirit, lovely staghound, classic head & expression, strong neck set well into front, good fill in of forechest, good depth carried through, strong mover, especially good in profile. RBD; 2 Lucas & Dargonne’s Packway Aconcagua, not as well developed in forechest nor ribcage of 1. Overall good shape, strong topline, moved well.

OD (1) 1 Helps’ Greyfriar’s Gille of Beardswood, masculine, balanced head, strong deep foreface, well muscled neck & super front with strength & bone carried right down to ground, well ribbed back, good width of loin, balanced hindquarters used to advantage, sound mover from all angles. BOB. V (1) 1 Lucas’ Dargonne’s Sorisdale Mackechnie for Packway, shapely, flowing topline, good length of body, feminine head, typical expression, well bodied. Not as muscled as I would have liked but moved soundly.

PB (3,1) 1 Helps’ Rosslyn Pippa, beautifully proportioned, quality puppy, feminine head but combining strength & elegance, so calm & collected, stood over the ground well, moved very soundly for her age. She was up against her litter sister who is very similar in type & build although a little taller. Had better feet & more spring of rib. A lovely pair. BB; 2 Helps’ Rosslyn Pollie.

JB (0).

PGB (4,3) 1 Helps’ Beardswood Octavia, feminine head, upright set of neck into shoulder, well boned for her build & nicely flowing body with strong, well muscled loin, good width of quarters. Would prefer a little more length from stifle to hock & a lower set hock. Light mover. RBB.

OB (0).
