34 Saber Tails Summer 2019
Winners Bitch from BBE who had the proper outline,
was compact, had very strong, sound rear movement
and was strongly muscled throughout her body and hind
quarters.
Reserve Winners bitch #22 also from BBE – who had a
pleasing head and expression with strong side movement,
keeping her balance and topline while in motion.
Veteran dogs – 1st to #29 (best veteran + AOM) with
a strong topline, compact outline and with the harshest
coat. All these boys seemed thrilled to be in the ring and
I really enjoyed seeing all of them with great freedom &
smoothness of side gait. All of them were in better mus-
cular condition than the veteran bitches.
Veteran bitches – 1st to #34 who was the most compact,
with the best topline and shoulder in the class.
Hunt bitches – 1st to #44 (also Select bitch) who had
a great outline, proper slightly longer leg than ½ the
height, good shoulder and very strong topline with harsh
coat. She was a solid mover from all sides.
The Best of Breed class was glorious and toward the end
it was difficult to separate some of the entries due to the
consistent, high quality. It was necessary “to get picky”
about some of the things that passed muster in the classes.
BOB to #46 a lovely bitch who has everything in the
right place and keeps it all together as she flows around
the ring with ease. She is light on her feet while still cov-

Conformation Judge’s Comments
by Linda Scanlon
ering a lot of ground without looking like she is working
hard as her balance is so spot-on. She gives the appear-
ance of being able to go all day. She was in decent muscle
with a harsh coat, great reach of neck, low hocks, strong
topline and nicely constructed front.
BOS to #49 (who was pushed hard for this spot by his
sire, my best veteran). He had many of the same virtues
as BOB and with the preferred proportion of slightly
longer foreleg, however he was working a bit harder on
the move with the cadence slightly less even.
