Pointers

P(3,1) 1 Norbury’s Medogold Bamalam. 9 months old liver and white bitch. Great in outline, a lovely head with a well defined stop and good flews. Good front assembly with plenty of forechest and deep in brisket. Excellent shoulders and length of upper arm. Lovely topline and good rear angulation. Moved well for one so young. BPIB and Puppy Group 2.

2 Razzell & Hazeltine’s Hookwood Blondie. 6 months old lemon and white bitch. Smart little baby enjoying her day out. Kind expression and well set on ears. Long neck and good topline. Just needs to fill out all over but has plenty of time on her side. Moved well. 

SY(2) 1 Ovel's Plungevale Queen of Hearts at Jimaura. 2 years old black and white bitch. One I have liked as a puppy before. Has a lovely balanced head, with a well defined stop and good ears. Correct front and rear angulation. She is deep in chest with well sprung ribs, and excellent bone. Handler has a tendency to over stretch her which spoils her outline slightly. Good reach and drive on the move.

2 Crawte’s Sharnphilly Heidi Klum at Leascliffe. 16 months old black and white bitch. Lighter build than 1. Very feminine and with a lovely head and eye. Good length to neck and shoulders, brisket not to elbow as yet. Not the movement of 1.

PG(2) Liked both of these two exhibits and I am sure they will change places in the future.

1 Barham’s Kenwardgold Minnie Me. 3 years old liver and white bitch. Elegant in outline with a beautiful head and expression. Lovely straight front and tight feet. Correct layback of shoulder and deep ribs. Good bend of stifle and short hocks which drove her around the ring, sound mover.

2 Razzell’s The Artful Archer of Hookwood. 19 months old black and white dog. Loved his head and expression with a well defined stop. Good length to neck which flowed into a good front assembly. Well bodied with good oval bone. Super depth of brisket and spring of rib. Preferred the movement of 1 today and felt that he would have done better in a bigger ring.

O(5,1) 1 Norbury’s Medogold Milkshake at Heartbury JW. 2 years old black and white bitch. A lovely clean and balanced outline. Beautiful feminine head and melting kind expression. Long neck into good strong topline. Straight front with excellent front and rear angulation which showed in her correct ground covering movement. BOB and delighted to see her go Group 2.

2 Crawte’s Leascliffe Lorelei ShCM. 6 years old black and white bitch, thought her feminine in outline and a nice type. Straight front and overall proportions were nice. Lovely head and neck. Correct front and rear angulation with a good topline. She moved well on a good stride.

3 Brooksmith & Adams’s Nightgold Blackavar.
