3rd Place Open Dog Class

Hero returns after an 18 month absence from shows due to an injury

Critque - At the first assessment going around, I thought this dog would win this class. Super masculine kind and soft expression with dark pigment.

Well angulated front assembly and complimentary length of hindquarter bones produced the essential balance that I look for, topped off with a level backline. His disappointing hind action cost him a higher place. N.B.Hero has had 3 cruciate repair operations :( on his left hind leg.
