"Dog CC For me this nearly four year old dog presented the proper combination of strength, size and construction
to make for an agile, steady and determined hunting dog. He is a proper size, and with just the right amount of substance,
at four years nicely mature. Rather strong in head and jaw, but kind calm expression, very well set ears. Excellent well muscled
neck well angulated forehand, proper bone and feet. Stands very clean over his firm front. Capacious body, for me just the
right depth of body and the correct length of leg. Moved so well in a firm ground covering action, also very true coming and
going. Proud to give him his first CC”.
