RETRIEVER LABRADOR

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge this well run show, I was truly spoilt for yellow bitches today with all my entries bar two being just that.

PUPPY (4,2a)

1 Gannaway-Jones Scarisbrick Skyfall into Mossland A 10 month old yellow bitch with a pleasing head, plenty of bone, well balanced, stood four square in profile and did not disappoint when moving with drive and purpose. Good angulations front and rear, correct reach of neck, strong top line, short coupled, correct tail set and otter like tail, this youngster was finished off with a good double coat. Was pleased to award her BPIB and later was awarded PG1.

2 Gower’s Meadowline Mon Amour for Aughtonchase

JUNIOR (2)

1 Thompson’s Meadowline Mi Chico A very handsome 14 month old yellow dog, who had the perfect head for my liking, looked all dog but not overdone. A strong boy with good angulation front and rear, hard muscle tone to the rear end, moved well with drive, correct double coat and thick otter tail. This youngster pushed hard for BOB but was just pipped today on maturity, look forward to see how he develops over the next 12 – 18 months.

2 Greenwoods Harrop Keepsake

POST GRADUATE (8, 2a)

1 Jones Lembas Faith A yellow bitch, nearly three years old who was an absolute live wire until she eventually calmed down and showed off to her full potential. She had all the key ingredients that I like to see in our breed, good pigmentation, strong topline, short coupled, good angulations front and rear, correct tail set and otter like tail that did not stop wagging! On the move she strutted her stuff with purpose and drive along with being true going and coming. Pleased to award her BOB and was later awarded G2.
