Belfast Dog Show Society

BELFAST – 23 SEPTEMBER 2023 SJOERD JOBSE, Sweden

ENGLISH SPRINGER SPANIELS

I would like to thank the Belfast Dog Show Society for inviting me to come and judge English Springer Spaniels. This was my first time awarding CC´s for the in the UK. I would like to thank the exhibitors coming from Ireland and the mainland in the UK to come all the way to Belfast, I appreciate the effort you all put it in to make the journey. I really was impressed with my main winners and they could win anywhere in the world. The amount of dogs present wasn´t a lot, but it is the quality that counts, not the quantity.

OB (3,0)

1. Corbett´s Sh Ch Trimere Time Flys (Miss S J Corbett)

 WOW, what a stunning bitch full of quality and type, loved her the moment she came into my ring, she is the type of Springer I have in my mind ticking the boxes within the breed standard. She is so well built, compacy, strong, merry and active, excellent length of leg, lovely well chiselled feminine hear with correct stop, lovely alert expression through her almond shaped eyes, excellent low set lobular ears, lovely slightly arched neck flowing into a strong topline, textbook angulations, excellent spring of ribs, lovely bone and compact feet. When she sets off to move she is very eager but when settled she showed me this so typical movement for the breed with the unique long swing front action we aim for in the breed! She stood out for me for type, movement and presented in tiptop condition I was immediately convinced she would be my CC winner and had no hesitations to award her BOB! Later in the afternoon she put up a stellar performance and was awarded 4th in group under the Gundogspecialist Diane Stewart-Ritchie.

2. Casey & Jayes´ Sh Ch Sandylands Send The Roses

 Another typey bitch with excellent proportions, very compact in body, excellent length of leg, beautiful feminine well chiselled head with excellent earset, lovely almond shaped eyes, good earset, moderate neck and excellent strong topline, balanced angulations and lovely body and substance, on the day she was very excited and moved with excellent reach and drive, just a bit hard time to settle properly, I am convinced she would need a big ring to perform her best, lovely coat and condition.
