German Wirehaired Pointer

It was a delight to judge the GWP entry and I thank the exhibitors for showing me their lovely dogs.

1st: 5391 GERARD Mrs S & Mr R Germanus Gotta Believe TAF – strong, compact young dog, with plenty of substance and bone. Balanced, moderate angulation, well muscled, with close fitting coat. Correct balance in head, good beard; could be a little darker in eye. Moved soundly. Ideally should be a little longer in body.

2nd: 5403 MARTIN, Mrs R M C & MARTIN Miss R Normbar Time Trial For Sunhouse (A.i.) – happy young dog with correct balance and proportions. Correct length of skull and muzzle, although the head should have a little more depth and strength throughout. Moved soundly.
