POINTERS

PUPPY (6, 1abs)

1st Westaway’s Teisgol Keep On Going. BP.

Liked him as soon as he entered the ring. Lemon and white 9 month old male. Head with balanced properties, skull of medium breadth, loved his expression. Straight front, well boned, correct oval feet, well knit toes. Long and sloping shoulders to firm top line and impressive ribs. Strength to backend, used tail well, steady mover.

2nd Stilgoe’s Glenariff Mojito over Teisgol.

Black and white dog with flowing lines, balanced outline, good length of neck, well laid shoulders, very good bend of stifle. Strong and muscular loin, straight from behind and feels firm to the touch, nicely muscled all over. Pleasing head, well handled, has natural ring presence. I hope his front tightens as he matures.

Lots of quality in this class, some close decisions.

1st Oliver & Stilgoe’s Teisgol Love Is In The Air. BOB. G3. Looked good from all angles. Quality male in orange and white jacket, well muscled all through, this enabled him to reach and drive and to display his steady, effortless, ground covering movement, both in profile and coming and going. Loved his head, quality planes, kindly expression, good stop, strength to muzzle, nostrils wide and moist. Clean neck sprung from good lay back of shoulder, straight front legs with oval bone and tight, well padded feet. Forequarters flowed into body and hindquarters, everything fitting together well. Good depth through brisket, ideal width of chest, good spring of rib and ribcage reaching well back to short and strong couplings, loin with slight arch.
