AV Import Reg
Puppy (2,1)
1. Allan’s Prince Snow Allmark Du Bois Des Ternes (Imp Fra) – White Swiss Shepherd – 9 month old dog who was beautifully presented. Powerful looking young boy, with a balanced outline. Clean cut head with a slight stop. Muscular, well arched neck, sloping shoulders and a strong topline. No weakness front or rear and this showed in his correct movement as he moved with balance and good footfall away and back. From the side he shows good ground covering action. Best Imp Reg & Best Imp Reg Puppy. Delighted to see him awarded BPIS, apparently his third one!

1. Bridgeman & Losue’s Kellitcreed Dirty Diana – 6 month old compact young lady. Feminine head with a well defined stop and dark pigment. Slightly arched neck, well laid shoulders, plenty of substance for her age and well sprung ribs. Moved soundly, carrying her tail well. BOB, BPIB, Group 3 & PG1

1. Bell & Maddox Tolriver Enzo At Owlspoint – Bracco Italiano – 10 month old dog that I have admired from the ringside and who doesn’t disappoint. Long, angular head with good chiselling. Powerful neck, well laid back and muscular shoulders, well sprung ribcage, deep, broad chest leading to a slight tuck up. No exaggerations to his hind angulation. On the move he has perfect footfall and covers his ground so well. An exciting prospect. Best AVNSC Gundog Puppy, PG1 and thrilled to see he was awarded RBPIS.
2. Harris’ Barleyarch Pakora – GSP – Another fabulous example showing perfect breed type, who was so unlucky to meet the class winner. This 8 month old bitch has a clean cut, well proportioned head, muscular, slightly arched neck, leading to sloping shoulders. Deep chest and well sprung ribs, firm short back and well bent stifles. Shown in excellent hard condition. She moved well once she settled, covering her ground soundly.

2. Longbottom & Stewart-Ritchie Gwendariff Smart Red Jacket – Irish Setter – This young boy is a real eye catcher. Initially he was a bit unsettled by a dog outside the ring but once he recovered he showed himself well. Racy outline, balanced angulation front and rear, beautiful, typical refined head set on a long, clean, muscular neck. He covers his ground well on the move but I would just like him to strengthen up behind.

2. Yewdall’s Sh Ch Gunalt Adorable From Ladwey – Weimaraner – I really liked this bitch and she was unlucky to meet 1. Medium sized and so feminine.

Moved very soundly away and back and covers the ground well when viewed from the side.

Gundog Group
1. Sussex Spaniel – Hastings Bardings Bypolar Bear – A strongly built dog, masculine head, slightly arched, strong neck. Sloping shoulders and well boned throughout. He won the group with his overall, super typical movement and correct head carriage and his ideal footfall. This for me is what made him eyecatching.
2. Hung Viz
3. Cocker Spaniel – Burleys Cassom Caneletto At Barnsbur – Blue Roan dog, with a strong, compact body. Cleanly chiselled head, clean neck, sloping shoulders and well balanced front and rear. Another really sound moving dog.

Symmetrical and balanced outline, plenty of bone, well laid shoulders and a good turn to his stifle. Straight front and rear. Very sound on the move showing good ground covering action.
3. Italian Spinone – Thompsons Testaverde Pyramid Song At Paradeco – A very raw 6 month old baby who was giving his handler a bit of a tough time. However, when he settled he gave glimpses of the promise he has. A pleasing outline and a masculine head. He just needs time.
4. Cocker Spaniel – Aykroyd’s Clydesian Elderado – Black dog shown in good coat and condition. Would prefer better angulation throughout and needs to slow down and settle on the move.
