English Setter

Junior (2)
1st Phillips. Bryant & Watkins’ Glenmaurangi Star Man 13mths Tri dog who is maturing well. Pleasing head with good expression, with a clean neck. Balanced angulation and good depth of rib. He is short in the loin and has quality bone and tight feet. Movement was precise and accurate with good tail action. He was presented in excellent coat and hard condition. BOB
2nd Wale’s Wansleydale Magic Rose Lovely 15mth orange bitch. She has a feminine, well balanced head. She has well laid shoulders and good front angulation. Her body has good length leading to her correct loin. She moved well, but tended to drop her topline standing which was the deciding factor between 2 dogs I liked a lot.

Post Graduate (3)
1st Wale’s Wansleydale Magic Rose
2nd Tompsett’s Radbrooks Sloop JohnB Tri dog of substance. He has good bone and tight feet, a level topline but is a little steep in croup. His rib is deep and he has a good coat and mature feathering. Moved well.
3rd Brown’s Mariglen Top Gear at Yendorlech

Open (4,3abs)
1st Brown’s Mariglen Top Gear Tri dog who was giving his handler a hard time. Moderately angulated all round but would prefer a little more length to his rib. He has a level topline and nicely set shoulders. Lovely feet. Moved ok.
