1st January 2020 

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge Pointers at this lovely show and thanks to my two stewards. Huge thank you to the exhibitors venturing out on New Years Day and accepting my decisions with sporting good grace.

Puppy (7, absent 0)  

1st, Hinton’s Fleurfield Truly A Secret. L/W bitch of 11 months. Lots to like about this young lady. Pleasing in outline and overall well balanced and that was evident on the move. Pleasing well chiselled head, good leathers. Good front assembly with correct oval bone, on well arched feet, well ribbed back. Moved true. Very elegant which won her this large class and BPIB. 2nd Walkling’s Wilcrimane Tambuti With Kiswahili O/W dog full of breed type, lots to like about him also. Masculine head, kind eye and good leathers. Pleasing in forehand and well sprung ribs for age. Well-muscled and moved out well. Just unlucky to meet 1st today. I will watch both these delightful babies with interest. 

Junior (7,Absent 0) 

1st Henshaw’s Sharnphilly Vice Versa with Peteshe. B/W pleasing head with desired dished appearance and well defined stop. Good leathers. Clean through neck and shoulders, correct oval bone. well sprung ribs. Good mover, powered round the ring with purpose. I will watch his career with interest. 2nd Hinton’s Fleurfield Truly A Secret (see puppy) 

Graduate (9, Absent 3) 

1st Lowe’s Lowsmoor Half a sixpence JW. Lem/W Well balanced bitch of 18months. Pleasing head proportions with good stop, kind eye and good leathers. Well arched neck into clean shoulders. Front assembly allowed for good reach in action. Came into her own on the move, showing strong rear drive, Correct oval bone on good feet. Well ribbed back, pleasing expanse of second thigh.

Clean through neck and good lay of shoulder, well angulated front . good depth of chest for age. Moved well. 

Post Graduate 

1st Lowe’s Lowsmoor Crazy for you. My notes say ‘just Lovely’ so much to like about this O/W male. Lots of working in his head, kind eye and good leathers. Good length of neck into well laid shoulders. Well sprung ribs, and depth of chest. Moved out with powerful grace. What a delight he is! However, he had to settle for RBOB today, in the challenge he was with a different handler and gave her a hard time. 2nd Bowen-Brooks’ Tenshilling Blowin Smoke. I have recently judged this boy before and he always comes into his own on the move and today was no exception, he was unlikely to meet 1st.

Flows into well laid shoulders, well sprung ribs, pleasing forehand and depth. Stifles well turned, moved out well, lashing her tail completely enjoying herself. Very much a series of graceful curves. 2nd Guy’s Carofel on Silent Wings JW. Another bitch that I have admired ringside, unlucky to meet 1st. lovely feminine head, kind eye and good leathers, good reach of neck flowed into well laid shoulders.
