Pointers

24th April 2022

Judge – Mrs Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)

I would like to thank the committee of the ‘West of England Ladies Kennel Society’ for their kind invitation to judge Pointers for the first time with CC’s, (which was postponed from 2020). The show is held in the beautiful setting of the Malvern Hills. We had a lovely big ring outside, but it was rather cold and windy, but when the sun did make an appearance, it felt quite pleasant. I think the cold wind did have an effect on some of the dogs, both standing and, on the move, which had a knock on effect with the placings. I would like to thank the exhibitors for the fabulous entry (133 dogs, 196 entries), I felt most honoured to have the pleasure of your beautiful dogs. As an outsider looking in, a couple of points you may wish to consider: Front assembly, length and position of shoulder blade and upper arm, fore chest, movement in front. Teeth, I was surprised to find small teeth and some very tight or level bites. But on the whole, a beautiful breed, with so much to admire

Fabulous 3 year old B/W dog caught my eye, he is so very smart and fully of quality from which ever angle I looked at him from.

1 Evaluna Chasing Rainbows with Hookwood (Mrs D & Mrs S Perren & Welch)

Lots to like about this 9 month old B/W bitch. She is so ‘together’ for her age, winning the class on her positive movement. Liked her overall shape and size, she is sturdy with good substance yet retains her femininity, and with nothing overdone. Her head is proportional and feminine, but still needs to break. Strong neck flowing seamlessly into a firm well held topline. She has good depth, down to the elbow and nicely filled in forechest. Having a good rear assembly. All coming together on the move, she showed to be free flowing in profile with a lashing tail action and neat and tidy fore and aft

Happy and outgoing 7 month old O/W bitch, another quality puppy showing lots of promise and mischief!

WOW, just fell for this 13 month old O/W bitch. She is just top quality and oozed breed type. Looking an absolute picture on the stack, with her harmonious proportions, sound construction and very shapely silhouette. For me she combines, elegance, grace, strength and nobility. Feminine head, showing good proportions, gentle dish, thin leathers and a dark gentle eye. Long, slightly arched neck which flows beautifully into a firm well held topline and perfect set on of her bee sting tail. Brisket down to the elbow with good fill in of forechest, oval bone onto slightly sloping pasterns and well arched feet. Well sprung ribs which are carried back to a firm short loin, and a strong hindquarters which have width, strength and a lovely sweep of stifle. On the move she so free and positive, flowing around the ring. Delighted to award her the CC, very close up for BOB, but felt the dog today showed a little more power and drive in the final run off. I hear afterwards that this was her very first ever show – not a bad start, congratulations!

Loved the outline to this 21 month old O/W bitch when stood, she has such elegance and an unbroken flow to her.

Chest is down to the elbow and with enough fill in of forechest. The ribs are well sprung and carried well back to a muscular loin. Super hindquarters, wide and muscular with a nice sweep of stifle.
