Top quality daughter of Adam and Rangi. Well put together, projected
a super outline, lovely head and expression, reachy neck, super
front and infill, well laid shoulders & firm topline, good
underline, deep brisket & strong loin. Can perhaps strengthen
a touch behind. Looking good for her age & should go onto
better things.

25.07.09,
Leeds Ch show
Judge:
Lyn Hewson
Result: 1st in Junior
Critique:
A super wheaten that I have long admired as even without handling,
her qualities are apparent. Confident at 16 months old with
lovely balanced head and typical expression. Good reach of neck,
correct lay of shoulder, deep chest with good infill to forechest.
Firm in topline, correctly angulated quarters. Well off for
bone and substance. Standing she presents a lovely outline.
Her movement is free although I was disappointed that her hind
movement was not more positive.

Result: 1st in Junior
Critique:
Hard to fault this girl, has strength in head without compromising
her femininity, good dark eyes, ears of correct size and shape,
well shaped neck to textbook front assembly, great body shape
though her underline was a little soft. Well constructed and
toned rear quarters gave a good driving action, won this class
with room to spare, decided she had done enough when it came
to the challenge, what a pity.

Midlands & Northern RR Club Show
Judge:
Liz
Storey
Result: Best
Bitch and Best
in Show
Critique:
Beautiful
feminine 'top drawer' bitch showing such a balanced picture.
Excellent front and well off for bone. Perfectly balanced head
with correct planes, dark eye and good ear set, alert and intelligent
expression. Good length of neck into fabulous layback of shoulder.
Good infill of chest displaying the required 'H' front on. Strong
back and loin, kept her topline on the move. Her straight forward
reach aimed where to go and her powerful rear quarters and low
set hock took her there with ease and accuracy. Handled to perfection.
So pleased to award her Best Bitch and eventually Best in Show.
Will easily follow in her mother's footsteps, and some. Congratulations.
