German Wirehaired Pointer Club

GWP CLUB BREED CH SHOW

08 JUL 18

I was delighted and honoured to win the members ballot for my first time awarding CC's in this beautiful breed. It was very warm today which despite careful owners giving dogs plenty of shade and water did prove a struggle with some exhibits who were not at their best in the heat. On the whole the breed is in a good place. Temperaments were excellent, coat texture was generally good but proportions must be monitored as shorter backs seem to be creeping in although good to see ribs are not also getting shorter.

MPD 2(0)

Morris & Evans’ Bareve Brynderi. Well balanced and proportioned, good feet and well muscled. Correct harsh coat with some furnishings, masculine head and good bone.

Johnson’s Beechillawn Diamond of St Louis. More immature than 1, well furnished and carrying good muscle, puppy action on the move just needs to tighten up all over a little bit.

PD 1(0)

Thornton’s Bareve Bat Out Of Hell, BPD, BPIS. Black and white, nice dark eye, feet could be tighter, good croup and carrying good muscle, good drive and extension once settled.

JD 2(0)

Donnelly’s Kimmax Knock Yourself Out. Better proportioned than 2nd, good shoulders, well muscled and well furnished, good feet and a little closer behind than I would prefer.  

McCabe’s Chironstone Chaos. Moved better once settled, well sprung ribs and good bone, handling could be better.
