"Otto's"  Critique: (printet in DogWorld and OurDogs)

Ramvad's Petit Heroes Canned Heat  (ATC .... )

Another very nice dog of different type and in excellent o/w coat.

Not quite 2 yrs old. Compact, well balanced hound with great angulations throughout.

Long strong neck. Masculine well proportioned head, great pigment.

Moved a bit wide in front. Strong bone, good feet.  Well settled looked a picture.

Strong quarters, moved soundly. Difficulty in settling especially in the challenge for RDCC.

Judge  Linda Lewis, UK.
