Three Counties Agricultural Society

Firstly I would like to thank the Three Counties Committee for inviting me to judge the Brittanys, my stewards Chris & Linda Pact for their efficient running of the ring along with the exhibitors who entered their dogs. It was a warm day and some dogs appeared to find the heat difficult and placings could change on another day.

JD: (1) 1. Andersons Rochus Scarlet Pimpernel. O/W Cobby and compact, workman like, good head, neat ears deep chest to brisket. Level topline, short in loin and well ribbed, good quarters and moved Ok..

PGD: (3) 1. Wilson & Hayes’s Tillybirloch Otto O/W roan, Super dog, masculine head with a gentle quizzical expression, slightly exaggerated stop but good ear set which he used to his advantage. Square, deep chest and an excellent barrel ribcage. excellent topline, short in loin and nicely rounded rear quarters with excellent bend of stifle. Correct depth of body to length and once he settled on the move he had a super correct clipped and straight gait. RCC 2.Taylor & Gill’s Rennes de Pasmazgeng Tricolour, well up to size, good head proportions, eye colour in harmony with coat, alert expression., Square, good length of leg, Just a little too much rear bend of stifle but held his topline on the move.

Andersons Rochus Marvin B/W Slightly longer cast than 2 but, I loved his soft kind expression in his masculine head with tight lips and tapered muzzle, ears high set and slightly rounded Skull. Cobby and workman like in profile. Level topline standing and on the move, would just prefer less rear angulation, moved ok. 2. Cook’s Sh Ch Highclare Only One Avec Tailliside (A.i.)
