Pharaoh Hound Championship Show: Good young dog to start the day with. Reasonable outline, decent head, eye & ear, good neck, moderate angles all through, decent bone & knuckled feet. Would benefit from a couple of extra pounds as his light condition only emphasized his immaturity & rawness. Quite sound on the move. With maturity will, I am sure, Hit the high spots.

Rhade's Show Diary 2008

Clitheroe &DKA: I have judged this dog previously and given him Best of Breed, today he was my best A.V.N.S.C. and Group winner! He was beautifully presented and sympathetically handled to get the best out of him in a small ring. He has a super masculine head, strong well arched neck and clean shoulders. Correct straight front and good limbs stands four square on good feet. Well conditioned rear quarters gave a sound driving action. Unfortunately for Best in Show he could not do himself justice in a small ring with slippy mats. What a pity!!
Judge; Mrs Toni Agnew
Deane: Litter brother and sister, each with their own qualities to admire. rich tan male, full of quality, beautiful head, eye and expression, masculine outlook without coarseness. Graceful yet strong neck, plenty of depth of chest, overall appearance of balance & correct body proportions. Pleasing topline & strong muscled powerful quarters, picture of elegance, grace & purpose, yet power. BOB
Judge; Pamela Mottershaw.

Crufts: I like this dog very much. His head is of good length with correct planes, good eye shape & colour & well set ears. I would prefer less stop but this doesn't spoil his expression. Strong neck, OK in shoulder & good return of upper arm, correct height to length ratio & good topline, good depth of brisket for his age, sound hindquaters with correct angulation & a good tailset & carriage. He moved with good stride length & positive footfalls & was the soundest dog in the class. In very good condition. Pleased to award him RCC & would love to see him in a couple of years when he's fully mature.
Judge; Deborah Diamond

I would like to add that Rhade did not have a shoulder injury or any other sort of injury at this show, the judge was judging a large amount of classes and he may of got mixed up
