MAREMMA ASSOCIATION NORTHERN

Report 1
The Open Show was held on 21st April 2007

 

What was so noticeable was the huge difference in maturity between the two excellent veterans and everyone else.

One expects puppies and juniors to be gangly and adolescent but I was intrigued to see that the three year olds were also very far from mature. How nice for their owners to know that they have many more years ahead of them, rather than being grown-up too soon.

 

Puppy Dog (1: 1)

1. Walsh and Hewart’s Ezahnus Stransavtico: welll-balanced and well-boned boy. Good head proportions, excellent bite, good eye placement and typical expression. Good reach of neck, lovely top-line, good angulation. Moved out well when he relaxed. Very unsettled in the ring but such a quality dog that he is certainly worth persevering with.
