NEWFOUNDLAND SPECIAL AWARDS CLASSES

It was a real pleasure to be asked to judge this wonderful breed today. Although the types varied quite a bit you can all be proud of how your dogs were presented and handled. Thank you to everyone that welcomed me and those of you that shared some of your knowledge and passion for the breed with me. I enjoyed it so much I stayed until the very end to watch BIS. I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

1. L’Anse Aux Green Meadows Caravaggio Trinashores ( Ms G Giambona )

What a delightful young male at just 13 moths, he had a lovely outline with plenty of substance and an excellent coat.

Well toned clean and true on the move.

Confident and outgoing personality, lovely broad head with balanced features, tight lips, good eye shape and colour. Good feet and strong hocks, balanced foundation and he has plenty of time to mature. Covered the ground with ease.

At almost two years this young lady is looking super, beautiful head with broad skull and muzzle retaining femininity. A well balanced frame and coat of excellent quality. She has a very good spring of rib and depth of chest. The more she moved the more she opened up and showed her super gait, I also watched her later in the day and her performance just got better and better.

3. Titanbears Fallen Angel (Duff Mr D and Mrs A )

Nicely made girl with a very pretty head. Well balanced features and expression. Broad skull and muzzle , well balanced all through and presented immaculately. Handled to perfection. She was slightly longer in stifle and just not as tidy in rear action as 1 and 2 today.
