Torquay & District Canine Society

Firstly may I thank all those exhibitors who turned out in the awful weather conditions and also opted for the dog show rather than the World Cup Rugby.

Secondly many thanks to the committee for their hospitality and in particular to my stewards who kept things running so smoothly.

 I see from the catalogue these two are mother and daughter and they were quite hard to split.

2.    Harries’ DREGHEDA IF I WERE SINGLE.  Smaller bitch all through and much to appeal.  Nice head and expression with dark hazel eye colour.  Well made body with deep chest and good angulation.

Irish Setters

Puppy D/B (6, 3 abs)

1.    Henderson, Szwajkowski, & Pike’s REDCLYST PERSHING.  Young dog puppy, still at the rangy stage.  He has a good head with dark eyes, good body proportions, well made front and rear.  He moved and showed well to win Best Puppy and continued later in the day to win Best Puppy in Group.  I hope he goes on to fulfil his potential.

2.    Randle’s ALOLFRANA LADY MILLION AT RIONORE.  Nice puppy bitch showing a lot of promise and close run to my winner.  Lovely head and neck, good body.  She lost out today as her rear action was not as positive as 1st.

2.    Pike’s REDCLYST BORIS.  Lovely head, neck and shoulders, good bone and feet, good angulation.  He also moved well. I see from the catalogue that the two dogs are litter brothers.  I just felt that Boris needed a little more maturity.

3.    Partridge’s KERRYDOWN ONE MAN.

Open Bitch (8, 4 abs)

1.     Partridge’s KERRYDOWN OCTAVIA Sh.CM.  Really looked the part today.  Good head, dark eyes, sloping topline to well made croup and tailset, good deep chest, strong bone, tight feet.  Best mover in the breed.  Best of Breed.

Curly Coated Retrievers

Open D/B (2)

1.    Edworthy’s MAYCOURT CADILLAC.  I see from the catalogue that these two are brother and sister.  They share many of the same attributes, making it difficult to separate them.  This dog has a good wedge shaped head, is well angulated with a good body and topline and well sprung ribs.  He moved well and soundly to take this class. Best of Breed.

2.    Courtier’s SH.CH. MAYCOURT CRIMSON MOON.  She has feminine head, good angulation, and is well boned with nice tight feet.  Not as positive behind in movement as her brother today.
