Not as large an entry as the last time I judged, so harder to find a “thread” of type but a pleasing entry, Some concerns to me are over exaggeration on the angles, and steep pelvis sets, which of course pushes the quarters forward, making the hound look over shapely (but attractive to some,) on the stand, and sadly they move as they stand, this structure does not allow free flowing and sound movement, they can’t drive out on the back end and have no fluidity or forward reach. They move as they stand bouncing along,with banana shaped toplines that can’t unlock, to me from an ability to work and Standard point of view, it’s a serious fault, also too many flat and splayed feet with no cushion, a “Porsche” with flat tyres , another really bad fault in a galloping hound built to hunt on craggy high terrain. Tail sets were good and only a couple of light eyes, also all mouths correct. Thank you to my lovely stewards.
