THIRD PLACE, VETERAN DOG
at 9th Labrador Retriever National, Adelaide, June 2016.)
"This dog had the scope and quality that I was looking for. A really typical and attractive head, not overdone but definitely a male, kind eye, good strength of muzzle, excellent pigmentation, correct ear set and size, clean neck flowing into a really well made front assembly with good layback of shoulder and length of upper arm, good depth of chest to elbow and excellent spring of rib, short coupled, strong, moderately angulated hind quarter with well let down hocks, correct strength of bone into well shaped feet. Correct coat, correct balance of depth to leg length, the flow from the top of his head through his level topline to his tail carrying straight off the back gave him quality. He moved cleanly with purpose and drive but with ease and economy of effort. He was presented excellently, showing his personality and keen and biddable temperament. Very pleased to award him the Dog Challenge."
