McCarte’s ROUGHRIGG RAG ‘N’ BONE MAN. S/w of quality. Excellent head properties and the cleanest of skulls with no exaggerations. Correct well placed stop, correct shaped dark eye and ear carriage, giving the desired masculine expression. Good reach of neck, correct front and well balanced body, with free movement. Held his tail well on the move and was presented in excellent coat and condition. He won a very good class of dogs, and I was pleased to be able to award him the CC today. Judge Brian Hawkins
1 McCarte’s homebred s/s/w rising three years, beautifully presented in full coat of correct texture, most pleasing head, eye and expression, ever alert ears, intelligent dog who knows the name of the game, so responsive to handler. Saw him as a puppy, thought then he had bright future, now developed into the champion he has become. Very good shoulder, good depth of chest, spring of rib, length of back, strong in loin, not overdone anywhere, strong well-boned legs, tight feet, moves with animation and confidence, sound, good side extension, well handled to DCC, RBOB & BOS, but more importantly, to his title. Congratulations. Judge Geoff Duffield
1st McCarte’s Roughrigg Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, 3-year shaded sable of glorious colour in full coat with a fabulous, masculine expression - he just seemed to know when I was looking at him and looked right back! Clean head with a lovely eye and well-set ears which he used non-stop. Flat skull and beautifully moulded foreface broken by a well-placed stop. Decent neck with good length of back, nice depth and spring of rib, correct front and rear angulation, super rounded bone, and excellent feet. He moved with reach and drive. When it came to the challenge, I was splitting hairs between the two main winners, but preferred the overall elegance of the Limit winner. Worthy RCC winner, thank you for bringing him.
