Loved the attitude on this fella, built on bigger lines but so balanced, handsome head, nice dark tight eye, ribs well sprung for age, pleasing in angulation fore and aft, nice topline leading to slightly rounded croup and correct through tailset, he was an enthusiastic mover but I absolutely love to see that, he definitely took the merry cocker seriously.
