Breed Critique :

A large, medium strong, well proportioned grey dog of very good type.  Good withers, firm back, slightly short, slightly steep croup.  The upper arm is of good length but should be slightly better angled, very good hindquarter angulation. Stands correct in front.  Good fore and very good lower chest development however the lower chest should still be a little longer.  Good head with medium eye colour, very good ear carriage.  Steps slightly narrow at rear, correct in front, the elbows should still be closer laying.  During movement shows very good ground covering gait with strong hindquarter drive, the forehand reach could still be a little freer and at times the wither should be carried slightly higher.  Lively and good natured.  Slightly concerned on the gun test.  Slightly underdeveloped P3 lower left.

Faults and Virtues :

A well coloured and well pigmented grey dog of overall very good construction that stands within the desired standard of size.  Presented in a very firm and dry condition.  Just at times the withers could be carried slightly higher during movement.  Ideally should not become any deeper in chest proportions.

Breeding Advice :

Suitable for the improvement of colouration and overall firmness.  Some care to be exercised to the length of lower chest.  Only suitable for bitches with normal elbows.  Connections to the lines of Aimsway Abacus or Unox Aducht are not recommended.  Connections to the lines of Leberhine Ijaz may be advantageous.
