Critiques

Crufts - 2008

Veteran Dog (20)

PHELEZZI PERSEUS.  Impressive black and cream.  Have always had a soft spot for this lad.  Compact in body shape and adequate angulation, correct fallaway and ringed tail.  Masculine head and a good front.  Kept his topline and stood proud.  Moved freely and with a good stride.  Beautifully presented and handled well.

Judge - Jeff Bunney (Zadal)

 

AHCS - October 2007

Veteran Dog (3,1)

Phelezzi Perseus.  Black and silver with a wealth of coat, very well presented, good head and eye, well angulated front and rear, big feet, needs more body weight, ring tail.

Judge - Avril M Lancashire (Drishaun)

 

Border Union - June 2006

Open Dog (6)

PHELEZZI PERSEUS. Black dog who I have long been interested in, having judged litter mates & also placed  a number of his progeny, was pleased to have him here today to examine closely  and find him  in such good form. Not a tall dog,  so well balanced & sound in basic structure. He went so well for his substitute handler today, correct & sound & typical Afghan gait, moved at a correct pace. I understand that this is his first show ring appearance in some 2 years, he should be  gracing  our rings  more often, in my opinion would be worthy of a title & another who is certainly proving his worth as a stud, I was pleased to award him the RCC on conformation & ring performance today.

Judge - Sylvia Evans (Amshura)
