1rst & Winners Dog
Jinn Shi'Rayan. This is a 4 year old dog
who is less than happy to be photographed as he has his ears rosed and
pulled back. He has a lovely lean head with good length of muzzle
and hardly pronounced stop, though with just a slight convex finish to
the bridge, and appropriate gentle, nostalgic expression.
There is no good profile view but from front
it would appear the neck is long enough to balance with the head.
It is impossible to gauge whether there is a crest to it without a side
shot, however based upon the proper set back of this dogs front, I would
think the neck is placed & carried properly set off from the shoulder
which appears long & well positioned. The back has a bit of slope
from withers toward the rear rather than being horizontal and the rise
begins just a touch too soon, however, it is smooth and harmonious.
The underline is evenly curved with flank well tucked up. Croup is
long but not falling away too strongly. There appears to be acceptable
muscle to upper & lower thigh which is properly long. Hocks appear
strong and well bent.
Without rear and movement photos, some things
must be extrapolated from the other photos. Based upon his overall
balance, I expect this dog would have appropriate movement for the breed.
