1st: 9508 FARRELL Mrs J Akasaka Wunder Of Hugh thought long & hard before giving this b/m solid gold his first CC & BOB. A size larger than ideal & not fully coated. But after judging all the males present I felt he had the most plus points, strode into this class full of his own importance, has that wonderful arrogant attitude that does appear to be more prevalent in the solids, classic head features, wide jaw with perfect dentition, teapot tail giving him the correct balance with his proud head carriage, in hard condition & carefully handled, very free moving dog who justified my faith in him by turning on a superb performance in the group where he made the last eight;
