2. Hughes' WHO DA THOUGHT IT OF ACUTESTAFF
Black/brindle who is a little more of the type I favour but I found it impossible to assess her movement. A little more ring craft training is recommended. Very clean all round, a good head and foreface ratio although needs time to mature. Mouth has large teeth producing correct bite. Scored over 1 with length of upper arm and angulations but would have preferred feet with a little more padding, good length to the ribs and sound enough in rear quarters.

1) Hughes' Who Da Thought It of Acutestaff
This very typy brindle bitch might just be the sleeper in the show. She is untrained and not in condition but she caught my eye in Junior and got a fortuitous 4th, but had settled ever so slightly by now, and it just might be that when she gets straightened out there could be something very nice underneath. She has all the essentials, but there is only so far you can go making allowances.

2. Hughes' WHO DA THOUGHT IT OF ACUTESTAFF –
Lost out to the winner (Wildstaff Jo Black) on overall condition. Again a pleasing enough headshape with enough depth through the stop. She seems to have everything in the right place but she is very sloppy at this stage, still very much a youngster and has loads of time to come together.

It was such a close decision between 1st (McFayden's Araidh Something About Mary At Kilvara) & 2nd (Hughes' Who Da Thought It Of Acutestaff) I thank both handlers for being patient with me. Both these girls had many virtues, which the standard demands & in the end the 1st girls' performance was slightly better.

b/b bitch, prefered her for substance and overall balance, well proportioned head, dark eye, good earset, dentition, breadth of muzzle, strong neck into well angulated shoulders and straight front assembly, good pasterns, bodied up with nice width of thighs giving the required drive. Moved soundly but Ringcraft and roadwork would improve.
