Retrievers (Curly Coated)

Thank you for bringing some lovely dogs for me to go over. I was pleased to see that my BD, RBD and RBB were all out of my Best of Breed last time I judged the breed – Sh Ch Kelsmere Kamana at Foxriver, she has certainly proved she is both beautiful and a super brood.

My Best Dog and Best of Breed was Foxriever Mystic Marvel at Elkysar (Mr K & Mrs M Solomon) and my Reserve Best Dog his half-brother Foxriever Solent Sensation at Wightcurls (Mr P & Ms B Miller & Millichamp). My Best Bitch and Best Puppy was Gypsy’s Soul First Lady for Foxriever (Imp Est) NAF TAF (Mr A M & Mrs D J Whitehead) and my Reserve Best Bitch Foxriever Striking Spirit (Mr A M & Mrs D J Whitehead).

1st Place Foxriever Solent Sensation at Wightcurls (Mr P & Ms B Miller & Millichamp)

Liver dog with good overall balance and proportions. He has a typical head and expression with a good eye and masculine expression. He stands on strong well boned legs and round feet. Good through the neck into well laid-back shoulders and a decent return of upper arm. Body well made, ribs well sprung and firm loin. Quarters well developed with moderately bent stifles. Coat in good condition with a tight curl. Moved well with a good profile action, held his top line well throughout just not giving his all on this warm day. Reserve Best Dog.

1st Place Gypsy’s Soul First Lady for Foxriever (Imp Est) NAF TAF (Mr A M & Mrs D J Whitehead)

What a little charmer she is, lovely young black, nine months old and has a feminine head and expression, well-made front with a good lay back of shoulder. Standing on good legs and super feet. Well-proportioned in the body, with a level topline. Coat in good condition with a good curl. Did enough on the move and once she settled, she had a good driving action. She is a very nice type and very promising. Delighted to award her Best Bitch and Best Puppy in Breed.
