Open class
2nd Corben's & Harvey Ambartr Black Knight at Wicani. Upstanding tri male of 4 years. Clean head with good almond eye and a slight but perceptible stop. Would prefer a flatter skull and was unwilling to use his ears and show off his head & expression to best effect.
Good length of neck and his markings are deceiving and he has a well angulated front.
Good bone ,legs and prefered his better feet than 1st placed dog .
Very narrow all through for his age, and would like more width although he has the correct depth.
Needs more body weight and muscle. Topline has correct rise over the loin standing but falls away steeply over the croup. Rear is well angulated with very good turn of stifle. Moves out freely with real scope as his angulation would indicate but topline slopes away on the move and his narrowness in front affects his movement coming towards. In full coat of the correct texture.
