This chocolate bitch impressed me so much. She stopped me in my tracks with her breathtaking profile. How beautifully balanced she is, with a lovely, feminine head that is clean-cut, with balance between muzzle and skull. Her stop is well-defined, and although she has a slight zip, which has never bothered me, she displays an alert, intelligent expression with well-developed nostrils and eyes of the correct shape and colour. She stands naturally and never requires correction. Her abundance in quality is evident, especially in her beautiful neck and shoulders. Her coat and tail are outstanding, and her strong, firm quarters and correct angulation provide excellent balance. She covers the ground well with good, unexaggerated extension in front and sound action behind. She carried herself around the ring with confidence and class. Although others pleased me greatly, she had that indescribable “something” on the day that gave her the edge. Res CC.
