1st: 4661 TAYLOR, Mrs Christine Bribiba's Highland Prince Of Critaylor

Wheaten,  solidly built with  plenty of bone and substance.  Good head and expression, lovely eye shape and colour, strong neck fitting smoothly into shoulders with reasonable layback and return of upper arm.  Straight legs, good pasterns and feet.  Deep chest with good spring and well ribbed.  Strong loin and powerful rear.  I would have preferred more rear angulation to balance with the front.  Long strong tail.  Moved with a light springy gait, true coming and going.  Reserve Best Dog

2nd: 4655 HANLON, Mrs D Strathmithie Ghillie Pot At Achnagonlan

Another strongly made male with a good head and expression, powerful neck and shoulders, lacked a little in return, straight legs and good bone.  Correct coat texture, good ribbing, slightly longer cast than 1 and with nicely angulated rear quarters, long tail.  Moved well and stood on good feet.

My notes start off with WOW!  What a quality hound.  Lovely head, so handsome and gorgeous expression.  Strong powerful neck, leading smoothly into excellent shoulders and upper arm, super bone and substance, good feet.  Deep chest, well ribbed back and a strong powerful loin. Well muscled, beautiful rear quarters with correct angulation, long tail.  Moved true and with great extension and drive.  Despite his size and strength still moving with graceful ease around the ring.  No hesitation in awarding him Best Dog and BOB.  Delighted to see him win a strong Hound Group and ultimately BIS.  Thank you for giving me the privilege of judging him

1st: 4662 TAYLOR, Mrs Christine Aquila De La Constellation D'irka Avec Critaylor 

Brindle youngster and still needs to fill out a little.  Feminine head but still with the required breed attributes, strong neck, nicely angulated front and rear with a good depth and breadth of chest, firm loin, well muscled rear, long tail.  Moved well with good extension and drive although tending to be a little close behind at times.

Wheaten litter sister to PG winner and very similar in construction, lovely head and expression.  Good depth and breadth to chest, well ribbed back, strong in loin and balanced, but not overdone angles front and back.  Correct coat texture and well muscled.  Not quite as true on the move and tending to be a little close behind.
