Strong head & muzzle, ribs well sprung with good length. Moved out well with light reachy strides and good tail carriage completing a very pleasing picture." 
BCCA National Specialty BBE & RWD Pat Laurans comments on Roy at the BCCA National BBE Dog- "This dog impressed me on the first go 'round and lived up to my early impression. He is beautifully and appropriately made. His headpiece is wonderful, he has the called for front and rear angulation along with the correct croup which allows him his good reach and drive. He moves in an effortless manner, seemingly to float around the ring. His coat is correct as is his proportion and he has a nice short hock. A truly handsome dog!!!!" On awarding RWD, "What an outstanding Beardie this is. He comported himself and used himself very well - and made my decision for Winners Dog a hard one. He has a grand head, wonderful and balanced angulation fore and aft, strong topline, correct tailset, good proportion and a correct coat. He is a very, very handsome dog. I anticipate that he will have a great future." |
