"Leiborschy Ekko, lighter coloured dog but excellent texture, his balance took my eye, lovely type, lovely size & holds his shape well, excellent head & eye, scored in front action & topline here. Just a touch overangulated in rear but uses his hock well. "

"Dowells Leiborschy Ekko, medium sized boy, good well balanced head, distinguished expression, good head furnishings, nicely proportioned body, steady movement, correct top line, nicely shown. Reserve Best Dog"

"Dowell`s Leiborschy Ekko, strong & masculine, I felt he had the most typical outline & balance in this class, super head with a square appearance due to his good furnishings, good layback of shoulder & length of upper arm, but I felt he shows rather too much angulation behind to be described as `moderate`. He moved with power & purpose on a long stride. Close run thing for BOB, I liked him very much but felt the open class winner had better overall balance"
