Well grown lad with excellent muscular frame, and fairly good type. Gently rounded head with ears of good size set well. Mid chartreuse eyes of good size. The shape could be fuller at the base and the top line is a little too slanted – this spoils his expression a little. Nose showing good break. Fair width to cheeks. Level bite. Fairly good depth to chin. Coat well prepared, just looking a touch open in texture today, but fairly close-lying. Mid tangerine shading gently to the roots – slightly darker to head. Showing very strong smudges to his legs at present & slight necklaces. Body of good shape & length. Slender yet strong legs with good oval paws. Medium tail tapering to rounded tip. There is a slight fault at the tip (confirmed by Duty Vet). I was sorry to withhold on this lad, but the combination of eye shape, coat marking and tail fault, gave too many minor faults.

1 WHITE’S IGR CH & IGR PR MARDIGRAS THE CANDY MANCAN.

There’s not really anything left to say about this wonderful Cream & White lad! His titles say it all & he really is the most wonderful boy. If I’m really picky, I’d like his eyes just a smidge rounder, but that really is nit-picking on a superb exhibit. Presented as ever to perfection – a huge lad with a huge coat to match. Very showy and with great presence.
