Gordon Setter
Junior (1,0) 1st Smith’s Togipoto Denva Bronco. This year old male was a typical Gordon of this age – “gangly”. Slightly rounded skull, good bone with oval, close-knit feet. Level topline and moves well when he concentrates. A very cheeky dog who needs time to grow up in mind and body. RBOB

Puppy (2,0) 1st Bougen’s Gwendariff Hot Ticket. At just 6 months this girls character is shining through. A little longer cast, she has good bone, straight leg when viewed from the front. Balanced angulation. Good topline for age with no exaggeration. Moved true behind, just needs more time to settle in the ring. BP

Slight slope to the topline, good width of thigh and tail set correct. Long & lean head with dark eye. Moved with purpose and drive and was true fore & aft. RBOB today against a mature male.
2nd Lewis & Levene’s Glenlaine Squirrel Nutkinn at Valasarch. A bigger dog who today played his handler up. Good, balanced angulation which allowed him to drive round the ring when he decided to!. Strong neck into well laid back shoulders, slight slope on the topline to tail. Just needs to mature.
3rd Randle’s Forfarian’s Hidden Secret with Rionore
Post Graduate (2,0) 1st Lewis & Levene’s Bardonhill Ginger Nut at Valasarch. This boy stood out today for me, a typical racy outline who’s free flowing, driving movement won him the class. Correct shape and tail carriage. Dark eye set in to a lovely, defined head. Strong neck into well laid back shoulders. Good return of upperarm. Strong rear with turn of stifle. There is nothing overdone about this dog. He upped his game in the challenge to take BOB and later please to see him awarded Group 3.
2nd Randle’s Forfarian’s Hidden Secret with Rionore. A strong boy who is shorter coupled. Nice head and kind eye. Good outline on the stand. Lacked reach and drive on the move today but true in rear.
Open (3,1 1W) 1st Jones’ Gwendariff Powder Puff. A pretty girl with a lovely head and muzzle. Standing on firm, tight feet, she is well angulated fore & aft. Moved sound and true over the ground.
