  Golden Retriever Puppy (3,1abs)
1st Copley’s Monchique Imperial Beau at Emmabe JW 11mth dog with attractive head and good eye colour. His good rear angulation was matched by his rear which enabled him to move round the ring on a steady even stride. His rib is deep and correctly sprung. He was in lovely coat and condition. BP and RBOB. Pleased to see him take 2nd in the Gundog Puppy Group
2nd Woroch’s Venezia Little Cherry Blossom This happy little lady was at her first show and took it all in her stride. 7mths old with good bone and tight feet, she needs to develop through the body. Her topline is level and with correctly set tail. She moved true both coming and going away.
Junior (3) All 3 were unsettled on the move which made them difficult to assess.
1st James’ Tsarmont Lakeside Star Lovely gold boy with well chiselled head of balance. He has a good front and deep rib to a short loin. His topline is level and although his tail is correctly set he was a little proud of it on the move. His rear is well developed. His movement was the most accurate of the 3, who were all very happy to be at the show! BOB
2nd Ellis’ Tenfield Rex Imperator This boy is stronger all through than 1. He has a full coat with plenty of feathering. His angulation is balanced but I preferred the length of body of the winner. Again, his movement was rather erratic.
