ITALIAN SPINONE 

 

Puppy Dog 3, 1 

1st Knowles’s & Glen’s SPINFANDEL WORLD WAS WIDE ENOUGH WITH BESSALONE (IMP USA); I totally fell for this puppy.  He is such a confident young man thoroughly enjoying his day and took the change of handlers in his stride. Well balanced head with divergent plains, lovely kind eye.  

 Strong muzzle and a big spongy nose.  Strong, slightly arched neck leading to well laid shoulder and return of upper arm.  Chest of correct width and depth for age leading to long, deep ribcage.  Well developed hindquarters and good tail action on the move. Coarse coat and thick skinned.  He moved accurately both fore and aft and on a good stride when viewed in profile. BPIB  

2nd  Morrow’s LUCORU POLYDUECES, Super eye and expression. Love the size of this boy, I believe he will be slow to develop but will be worth the wait. He has good bone and balance. Good texture to coat.  He moves freely but needs to firm up on his topline.  

  

Post Grad Dog   2 

1st Mackay’s FERIIIA JACOMELO, Balance dog of good type, correct harsh coat, good furnishings to head. Good front and quarters. Moved well, holding his topline firmly. 

2nd Ciesielski’s JAVAL VALENTINO JWCW16, Pleasing head with good divergent planes and a soft expression. Nice outline, good texture to coat and good feet however he would benefit from a bit of tidying up. Today he was somewhat erratic on the move.  

 

Limit Dog 4 

1st Firth’s HOCHOPEPA LETS GO CRAZY WITH SOPHALBA, Lovely head dog with correct divergent planes and a big spongy nose. Best of legs and feet that are well boned. Coat of correct texture. Firm topline with a good tail. Moved with reach and drive.  

2nd Ciesielski’s JAVAL ROSSI, well made boy and obviously ‘ fit for function’, pleasing length to height proportions giving the ‘square’ shape , balanced head with a soft eye and a kind expression, strong neck.. Unfortunately he was rather exuberant on the move which threw his stride pattern out.

1st Knowles, Glen & Malcolm’s BESSALONE GOING STRAIGHT. Up to size but well balanced throughout. Lovely head with a kind eye. Clean over the neck & shoulders, good legs & feet. Excellent harsh coat. Unfortunately she was carrying a little too much weight and it showed when on the moved.   

2nd Coldwell’s LUCORU ITALIAN JASMINE, balanced head, stands well in front, holds her topline on the stack and on the move. She was quite fussy on the move today and this made her over reach.
