Mine are all too tall, too long in the body and Alfie and Tilly are also too heavy for the standard although they all have good jaws and teeth and good movement etc. They're all fairly different from each other as well, they're all out of different lines, they have common ancestors but have no close relatives in common.
Rodaidh is very young in this photo but you can see how long and gangly he is and how little coat he has, he's got a touch more feathering now but not much although he has put on a lot of muscle now. I think his eye colour would be a fault as it's too light and his ears are very high set, quite short and are triangular in shape.
Alfie is very long and lean, I think it was Spanielcrazy said he looked like a hunting spaniel from an old oil painting in this photo... He's very muscular and athletic looking but he's long backed and not compact at all. His ears are a more typical 'cocker' shape than Rodaidh's but are still high set.
Would also be interested to get a more experienced view on the pair of them (be kind
). They're both very different types to Jarvis and also to workers from other Scottish breeding lines as well.
