Fabulous Day!

Switherland Classic Design (MARIO) takes dog CC & Best of Breed under all rounder Mr Martin Sanders. He then goes on to win the Hound Group under well respected judge DR Monica Boggia Black.

(7) Good class to sort out! 1 Freer’s Switherland Classic Design, r/w. Makes an impression on entering the arena. Handsome individual of above average merit. Head qualities are good with good balance in skull & foreface. Clean in eye with well-set ears which have good length & correct folds. Super in neck & forechest. Good bone with excellent feet. Topline is correct which leads to a well set stern. Spot on in ribs, loved his rear angles with ample rump with well-defined strong parallel hocks. He looks a picture of health on the stack but it’s when he moves he comes to life displaying free flowing easy reach & drive with a willingness to please his handler at all times, will go on to bigger things. Pleased to award him his second CC & BOB. Delighted to watch him take the Hound Group under the highly regarded Dr M Boggia-Black, then in the BIS ring did himself & his connections proud!

Switherland Distant Image (EDDIE) takes Best puppy in Breed & goes on to Puppy Hound Group 2 under Mr G.C. Duffield.

MPD (0). PD (2,1a) 1 Freer’s Switherland Distant Image, what a start to the day. Super r/w of top draw quality. So typical from this stable. Quality in head with correct skull & muzzle. Clean in eye with well-set ears with correct folds. Excels in neck & front assembly with a well-developed forechest. Good in rib which is carried well back. Correct in topline & tailset. His quarters are well defined finishing off with strong parallel hocks. Put his best foot forward on the out & back & held a true outline on the go around carrying his stern in true sabre like fashion. Presentation as usual was 100%. Pleased to award him BP & delighted to watch him take PG2 only to the all-conquering Min W/h Dachs. One I’m sure we will hear a lot more in the future!

OB (6) 1 Freer's Switherland Dream Edition, 3 year old medium sized tri, I gave this bitch the RCC when I judged her two years ago. She has matured very well with a sweet head, eye & expression, well placed leathers, good neck leading into well placed shoulders, good sternum, nicely sprung ribcage, excellent hindquarters & moved soundly with drive. I was pleased to award her the CC Judge Mr Phil McGarry Arthurs

Great start to 2014 for Team Switherland !

Switherland Distant Image wins Res. CC & Best Puppy in Breed under well respected judge Espen Engh.

MPD (2) 1 Switherland Distant Image, what an absolutely fabulous r/w puppy! At just 8 ½ months, he is just stunning & very well developed for his age. Superb combination of substance & power with quality. Masculine head, acceptable length of muzzle. Sound enough eyes. Just the right amount of skin. Well set, long ears. Excellent neck. Firm back, well set tail. Very balanced in both angulation & outline. Moved especially well from all angles for such a young dog, indeed one of the very best movers in the entire entry. A star in the making. RCC & BP;

Judge Espen Engh.
