Bridgwater & District Canine Society

Members Limited Show

Sunday 2nd October 2022

I would like to thank Bridgwater and District Canine Society Committee for the invitation to judge the sporting breeds, Stakes and BIS at their very welcoming and friendly Limit show. Thank you to the exhibitors for entering, I had some lovely dogs to go over.

The BIS challenges caused me to have some tough choices to make, as there were more dogs in contention than I had rosettes. BIS and RBIS were pestered by the Afghan Hound who was only just pipped at the post. The lovely Bullmastiff pushed the BPIS and RBPIS all the way and I had a lovely line up of veterans to choose from with the Siberian taking the top spot and the TT reserve.

Thank you again to the committee for the lovely gift, it was a pleasure to judge at your show and I enjoyed my day immensely.

1st – Farrar’s Henissy Truffle Trifle – Labrador Retriever

Lovely make and shape to 6 month old happy outgoing young man. His head is developing nicely, masculine but not overdone. Correct bite. A lovely dark brown eye, correctly set and carried ears. A well balanced black, with desired angulation and good bone down to rounded feet. Nice topline to correct tail set, which he carries well. Can stand under himself at tad at times which puts him a little bum high, so do watch this. On the move he has a lovely gait accompanied by a little puppy roll, to be expected at this age. He is very promising fore and aft and just needs to firm up. Really liked this happy young man who also took the next class in good company, BPIG and eventual BPIS.
