<Critique from Mrs Marion Sargent>
MELODOR LIVE NOW PAY LATER AT DYKEBAR - 13 mth old red. Absolutely stunning. When I first saw her I thought there must be a catch, but there wasn't. Loved her profile, good topline and tailset which she held on the move. Her head was what the standard requires. She has the substance and heavy bone that is missing in a lot of bitches today, but still keeping her femininity. Correct width of front, lovely crest of neck going into correct shoulders and upperarm. Correct length of body for a bitch, strong hindquarters which she used on the move. Moved as I would expect her to. Handled and presented to the best advantage. In the Challenge she demanded the CC and BOB. The future must be very bright for this young lady. Was delighted to see her win Group 2 in a very hot group
