27th August 2021

German Shorthaired Pointers

My first time awarding CC’s to the breed and I thoroughly enjoyed judging your dogs. I was delighted with the entry, thank you.

Dogs / Bitches

Veteran

1: COX, Mrs P Sh Ch Cushatlaw Irresistable JW Sh.CM, 8 year old bitch in fine fettle. Pleases very much for type on the stack, her head and expression are delightful. She moves out well for her age and is precise on the out and back. Well ribbed back and excellent skin.

2: KNOWLES, Miss S A & KNOWLES, Mrs S & GLEN, Ms I Sh Ch Ir Ch Wilholme Sharp N Smart At Bessalone CW16, JW, ShCM, another 8 year old, also in excellent condition, preferred the expression of the winner . Well made in front and she carries her topline, perhaps just a tad longer cast. Moved out well.

3: BENNETT, Mrs J & SLIMAK, Mr M Sh Ch Barleyarch Firefly

Dogs

Puppy

1: HARVEY, Mrs G Valger Snow Patrol At Imaniz, very promising 6 month old young man. Produces a very pleasing outline stacked. His head is coming along and he has a very typical expression. In superb condition. Super to go over with complete balance. Moved well and opens up in profile. Just a little enthusiasm would be to his benefit, but a bright future I’m sure

2: BROWN, Miss E & BROWN, Mrs V Montalba Mister Teatime, good for size and pleasing in head. Not the front of the winner. Good topline and strong loin. He has angulation behind. On the move he was precise, but not the coverage of 1 today.

3: WETTON, Miss C & MORRIS, Mr J Kavacanne Bolt From The Blue

Junior

1: SIELSKI, Mrs Z Orchidstar Bolts of Speed, pleasing for type, he won the class on front assembly and forward extension. He pleases in head and has a typical expression. Good depth to his chest , strong topline. Would possibly prefer a little more ribbing back. Balanced behind and put on a show.

2: DELANEY, Mr K & THOMPSON, Mrs L Parsonsview Showboating at Redmires NAF, masculine head and expression, full of substance and in excellent condition. Better ribbed back than the winner but lost out today on front assembly and forward reach. Could see them changing places on another day.

3: MILLIGAN, Mrs D Greyelf Taelaros

Special Yearling

1; COLLINS, Mrs L E & COLLINS, Mr P Barleyarch Hoopla At Forestpoint, 2 differing types here, both with points to warrant. This boy won today on the move where he covered the ground with minimal effort. Kept his topline , just a tad proud of his tail. Good depth of chest and reasonable front angulation. Good for bone and substance.

2: SCOTT, Miss K SOLWAYPOINT INDIANA AT ESSENPOINT, pleasing head and expression, just felt he fell away in topline today. Preferred his tail carriage and he was precise on the out and back. Not quite the extension in front of the winner today.

Post Grad

1: POCOCK, Ms M Fayemm Sea The Stars, produces a typical outline in profile stacked. He has an excellent front, strong topline, which he keeps on the move. Moved out with purpose.

2: MANN, Mr & Mrs J Elfrindew Endrick to Valger, liked this boy but felt he just needs a few more months on him. He has a delightful head, super expression. Decent front. A little longer cast than the winner and he just lost his topline on the go round today.

3: SCHONEVILLE, Mrs R Balvenie Double Diamond JW

Limit

1: PINGAULT, Miss V Taftazini Aiden Abbett, won the class on his balance of outline. Pleasing head and expression, decent front and strong topline. Moved with typical outline and drove out behind

2; KNOWLES, Miss S A & KNOWLES, Mrs S & GLEN, Ms I Wilholme Had A Lovely Time With Bessalone, different in type and a tad more rangy than the winner. Soft expression and in good condition. . He is balanced in angulation and although put his feet in the right places, he could have just used himself to advance

Open

1: HARRIS, Mrs S Sh Ch Barleyarch Pringle JW, stand out for me today in this class, he is all of a package and produces the most delightful and typical outline stacked. All quality, he is in optimum condition. Moves out with ease and covers the ground with the minimum of effort. Superb dog who screams type and is as fit as a flea. Delighted to award him the CC and BOB. Finished the day as Group 4.

2: MANN, Mr & Mrs J Valger Ragnar JW JW, liked this dog enormously for type too, very pleasing in head and expression, superb outline stood, on the move he impresses in profile, just a tad erractic coming towards me today. But a very good dog worthy of a title. RCC

3: STOPFORTH, Mrs K Taftazini Cesar Chance With Serenymor

Bitches

Puppy

1: WADDELL, Miss R Magregor Glitter Muff, superb puppy, super for type and chock full of quality. Pleases very much in head and expression, super to go over with balance in angulation. On the stack she fills the eye. But it is on the move that she can never be overlooked. Moves with ease, precision and an abundance of style for one so young. Champion quality for sure. In the challenge she was determined not to be ignored and I couldn’t resist her for the RCC and BP.

2: MANN, Mr & Mrs J Valger Symphony, another very nice puppy and close up today. She pleases very much for type and has a delightful outline stacked. Head and expression are glorious. In optimum condition and moved out well. Just not the precision coming towards me today.

3; READ, Mrs L A & READ, Mr S Keigame Signe

Junior

1: FILBY, Ms A BROWN & Mr C Winterwell Thatlldo for Desjiem, super bitch , full of quality. Typical outline, strong topline and well carried tail. Good depth to her chest and correct front. Well ribbed back and strong loin. Won the class on her head and expression. Moved out well and kept an outline

2: ELLIS, Miss S Soellis Fancy Nancy, another top quality bitch, who scores in profile movement. She is super to go over and full of type. Another who is well ribbed back, strong topline and well carried tail. Today I felt the winner scored in expression and this tipped the balance. But they will change places without doubt on another day.

3: MCCAFFERTY, Mr F & MCCAFFERTY, Mrs J Thorscrag Arora

Special Yearling

1: ROSE, Mr A P Barleyarch Shindig with Kavacanne, stood alone, but a very worthy winner. Superb outline, her head and expression are delightful. Presented and handled beautifully . Super front, good depth of chest and well ribbed back, just coming into her own and champion quality with the average amount of luck. Perhaps carrying just a tad too weight today.

Post Grad

1: HARRIS, Mrs S Barleyarch Pakora, gorgeous for type and produces and exceptional outline. On the move she will always take the eye as she is effortless and covers the ground. Definitely one that could go all day. To go over she is hard to fault. Just needs to relax a little on close inspection , then she will be a real contender.

2: HINCHLIFF, Mrs E Goosepoint Gambler, liked this bitch too for type and she pleases in outline. On the move she just lost her topline slightly and this is where it cost her. She too has a delightful head and expression. Decent one.

3: BARKER, Mrs J & BARKER, Mr C Valger Rapunzel at Barkersdream JW

Limit

1: WADDELL, Miss R Magregor Wiff Waff, very decent bitch, she pleases very much for type. Completely balanced on the stack. She is good to go over, with decent front assembly, strong topline and balanced hindquarters. On the move she can never be over looked especially in profile where she holds her topline, covers the ground with ease and has style without losing that typical carriage. Considered her strongly in the challenge.

2: DELANEY, Mr K Archerpoint Sea The Stars At Redmires, liked this bitch too. She too pleases in outline and is balanced in angulation. Good depth of chest, moved out well, holds her outline. Decent one

3: TROW & JOWSEY, Mrs & Mrs L Winterwell Stoney Trail

Open

1: SQUIRE, Mrs J Sh Ch Taftazini Honour Wynna, wonderful class and the first 3 are all superb examples of the breed. This is a gorgeous bitch, totally balanced and full of type. Won the class on front, and strength behind. Depth of chest, well ribbed back and in superb condition. She is totally honest and there is little to change on her. She had to work for the class but the more she moved the better she got. Well deserved CC.

2: MERVYN, Mr T & MERVYN, Mrs A Ir Sh Ch Tomanipoint Annie's Mazurka Jun Ch, close up and she is so worthy of her title and she will change places on another day. A delightful example of the breed. Her head and expression are superb. She was a little lazy coming towards me today and I just preferred the length of front leg of the winner for balance.

3: BLAY, Mr M & BLAY, Mrs B Sh Ch Barleyarch Skye at Longbarrow Sh.CM

Good citizen

1: JACKMAN MBE TD, Col S L & JACKMAN, Mr M BALVENIE DRESSED TO THRILL VIA NAVIGAREAMOR, super for size and type, balanced in outline, with the softest of expressions. In super condition, she moved out well. Strong topline and well carried tail
