        DOGS

Class           Minor Puppy Dog

1^st/BP         1st  Hunting’s Herodotus a Friend in Me by Chapmeek.  Nicely put together red/white dog, well developed for his age.  Good head shape                       and breadth of muzzle, correct eye shape and dentition/neat ears.   Good conformation/angulation;  moved with drive and with just enough                       edge to take him to first place although a bit more sparkle in the ring would not go amiss!
