SPANIEL (COCKER)

Judge: Mrs Pat Butler Holley (Shandwick.

Thank you for a wonderful entry of quality cockers. I must say a big thank you to my stewards on the day they did and amazing job. If I may point out a couple of very disappointing areas I found today, is mouths need to be watched in great detail. I found more than I would have thought possible which is sad really. Also the toplines as  a few resemble an American cockers topline which is certainly not what is required within the breed.

1st: 4970 GRICE, Mr & Mrs K & D Kyna Mackenzie, in my opinion this puppy dog is wonderful so well made in his construction, but its his attitude to life that will take him forward to bigger and better things. Delighted to award him BPB and see him do well later in the puppy group. Congratulations on breed such a wonderful dog.

2nd: 5024 WARRINGTON, Mrs Sue Eileen EDDESWARREN Vega By Zakova, All puppies in my opinion should be allowed to play and enjoy themselves whilst so young. And this one certainly did. Well built presented in great coat and condition and moved well.

Typical juniors they change so quickly and Im sure with time these 2 will change places often.

1st: 5039 WILLIAMS, Mr & Mrs R & S L Wilmerella Outlander JW, I preferred the head on the winner today, however longer cast in body than second. Great front and good depth of chest. Moved very well.

2nd: 4949 BESWICK, Mrs T Esqueen Give A Gift for Cachel (Imp Pol), I liked the overall cocker shape and style of this youngster but today I felt him a little steep over the croup but this could be just the changes in age and growth at this time.

1st: 5034 COLLIN, Dr Peter & WILDMAN, Mr Michael Oktumi Opalescence, my notes say the words Fabulous, her overall balance is in my opinion so very true to the breed standard. Her conformation and balance, combining the attributes of a cocker spaniel is a delight for any judge. Her head and expression combined with her eyes just draws you in. The best of shoulders and great ribs and body. Her quarters are wide and powerful whilst still she remains so very feminine. In the challenge she almost stepped up a gear when moving, displaying true and correct footfall movement. Presented in absolutely perfect condition and coat . Delighted to award her the BCC and BoB and delighted to see her later take group 4.
