Junior (4, 1 abs.)

1.     Godden’s WOODMIST COLDPLAY.  7 month old yellow puppy dog with appealing head, good quality bone, compact feet, level topline.  He moved well but carried his tail a little too gaily.  Showing promise.  Best Puppy and Reserve Best of Breed.

1.     Elliott’s WINSLEYWOOD WILD JOKER OF LYNDHAM.  Mature 6 year old dog with well made strong body, good body and feet.  Barrel ribbing, well developed hindquarters. He moved well with wagging tail.  A little coarse in head which held him back from top honours.

Pointers

Junior (5, 1 abs.)

1.    Norbury’s MEDOGOLD BAMALAM.  13 months liver and white bitch with lovely flowing lines.  Good head with well defined stop and slight dish-face.  Good body proportions and correct angulation.  Showed very good true movement.

2.    Roberts’ MEDOGOLD BLACK BETTY BY KANANASKIS.  Black and white very similar in type and construction to the winner and I was later informed they are sisters.  They share many of the same attributes. However a change of handler after an unlucky fall, meant that although she coped well movement could have been the deciding factor on the day.
