CLASS 6 - Spot Barrows
Now Closed!

Placing: 2-3-1-4 Cuts: 3-4-5

I like the spot barrows 2314. That loud marked 2 is the hardest to make. Not only does his natural spread, stoutness, and sheer power sort him up, but further study the square jawed big armed barrow and his length of hip, angle of blade and athleticism make him a standout within the spotted breed. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not close up top because I liked that dense haired three barrows ability to work more shape right out of the backside of his blade. It's just unfortunate he comes in a few too many pieces from the side. That's the straighter bladed shallowered bodied barrow that needs to draw more current ahead of his blade.

Regardless, his problems really aren't relevant in the middle. It just makes sense to use elevated fresher skinned barrow. His ability to lay his forearm further on the outside of his body wall builds the foundation for him to facilitate more spread from blade to hip. Now don't get me wrong, I like the fact he embodies the stoutness of foot and natural density that I've come to expect from the spot breed. It's just pretty apparent that of the initial trio that's the short faced mature necked barrow that's the most ordinary in his look.

Even so this go around I'm confident that his more comfortable build represents a better kind on bottom. The stouter featured barrows angulation of shoulder and posture of rear leg is a direct correlation of a more functional skeleton. Now for what it's worth I like the fact that fur represents a heavy weight practical bodied kind. It's just pretty apparent that in an era where build and balance are a must I have the hardest time advocating for the shallow bodied plain looking barrow who's the most upright off of either end of his skeleton
