1rst Ferda KIamar
al Akbar As with the 12-18 mos. dog, this
bitch is too old for this class.
She has lovely, expressive dark eyes with ear
set above though not high above the eye line with the required rather broad
backskull with distinct roundness at the back. Her muzzle is of good
lengh but tapers a bit too much and lacks the straight bridge. Her
stop is rather pronounced.
She has a good length of neck with a slight arch
which sets off from an acceptable shoulder layback of good length, however
there is some dewlap. Her front is set too far forward on her body
but the upper arm looks strong.
Her chest is deep enough but looks a bit wide
in front. The underline is pleasing with an even curve leading into
well tucked up flanks and with a long sternum. The back is horizontal and
flows into a harmonious rise over the loin & and a pleasing fall away
of the croup which shows nice width leading into lovely, long, well muscled
upper and lower thighs. There is a nice, long tail held correctly.
In overall proportions, the photos make this
bitch appear longer than tall, thus missing the essential proportions of
the breed.
Her movement appears supple and smooth but the
correctly proportioned rear seems stronger than her front & she is
compensating by what appears to be crabbing (rear foot is landing to the
side of front foot).
