STOP PRESS Raider competed in the Junior Dog class and is made BEST DOG by judge and NBC Chairperson, Mrs. Joylene Neddermeyer at the Members Specialty Competition on 28 October. Her critique of Raider on the day..."A large, medium strong, very expressive slightly elongated dog of very good type and overall construction. Very good length of neck with a lovely topline with very good length of croup. The upper arm while of good length could still be a fraction better angled. Very good hindquarter angulation. Stands correct in front with a well structured head and very good masking and very good ear carriage. Shows absolute correct sequence of steps with a very good firmness of joints. During movement shows very good ground covering gait with a strong hindquarter drive and free forehand reach and very good back transmission. He impresses with his overall construction and movement".
