NOVICE

1. Stregato Gemelli Amore

Sable bitch with such an attitude to life, she really could do a days work, her stand and demand attitude seemed to know no bounds, and I am certain she could tackle the strongest of rams and 'nip and tuck' all day long.  Standing she has a beautiful outline, strong rounded bone, plenty of substance but without any coarseness.  Dark well placed eyes, strong muscle and chin.  Alert and focused to the job in hand.  Being top size and young, she needs time to develop supportive muscle, and because of this her handler needs to slow down a little when moving her.  When moved at the right pace for 'her' she went with effortless ease and positive flowing movements.  I had a line up of top notch bitches to choose from and it was a tough decision, but in the end I chose to reward her workmanlike qualities in a breed that is in danger of losing such, and I gave her the RBCC, I later discovered this was her first show for this dog and a first homebred reserve CC winner for her owners, so well done!
