Gundog Group. 

I must say that this was one of the best Gundog Groups I have judged for depth of quality with some of very good dogs not even getting shortlisted.  

Group 1 Miles’ Layways Van Winkle JW – Hungarian Vizsla. Well, What can I say, this 2yr D took my eye for the first look and I knew after going over him and watching him move there would have to be something outstanding to beat him. Lovely size , shape and type, so much to like. Well made head on a well muscled neck of good length. Superb forehand, well laid shoulders, return of upper arm giving good forechest. Ribs reach down to elbow and back to a short muscular loin. Lovely level back into a moderately angled, muscular rear with a well set and well carried tail. On the move he is a joy to watch, elegant and ground covering with reach and drive.   

Group 2 Norbury & Adams’ Medogold Bamalam at Heartbury JW ShCM – Pointer. A dog I have done well before and he always seems to come up against something I like that little bit more. Again, a pointer that for me is of correct type and balance. Lovely head and neck with a well made forehand. Deep brisket and good spring back to a well muscled loin. Good tail set and lovely rear angles. Strides out on the move with good drive.

Another youngster who was moving well and one with a bright future. 

Puppy Group 3 Bridgwater’s Bridgella’s Don’t Push It – Irish Setter. Typey young B of good shape & size. Lovely head and neck into a well made front with well laid shoulders and good return of upper arm giving a little forechest. Good depth of rib, gentle slope to her topline back to a well angled rear.  Another lovely mover. 

Puppy Group 4 Salt’s Levelmoor Blackadder – Retriever (Flat Coated). Another typey B. Feminine with good lines. Long lean head with shallow stop and a lovely expression. Well made fore and aft with good angles. Level topline and correct spring and depth of rib. Moved true with drive.
