Miss H A Upton (Roydack) 

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at their 75th Anniversary Premier Open Show, there was a fantastic Cornish Welcome and the atmosphere throughout the day was friendly and warm. Thankfully the rain stayed away and we were able to judge outside all day.  

I’d also like to thank my steward for the day, who kept the ring running smoothly throughout the day, without these volunteers these shows would not exist. 

Best in Show - Irish Setter - Henderson & Szwajkowski - GRENADA LOFTY CZERWONY (IMP POL) I liked this bitch for her blanace and for her racey appearance, presented in beautiful coat and condition, nothing over exagerated in her, pretty head with lovely soft expression, she and her handler were as one and owned the ring. 

Reserve Best in Show - GSP - Mcllwaine WINTERWELL STEPPIN STONES TO BENOVEOR, A bitch I have come across before and oh what a difference, she is very typey for the breed and she is now well balanced, with plenty of bone and muscle. She has the prettiest of heads, with good lay of shoulders, she has good front and rear angles which she puts to good use on the move, she covered the ground effortlessly and another one that just had the show quality needed to receive the top awards.

Strong powerful neck, well laid back shoulders, would like a little more work in her front and little longer in body than I would prefer, however she has the broad croup and slopes off correctly, she has good rear angulation, but needs to muscle up. Moved well. 

2, Luff, LYNDYCK HOT TO TROT 

Very similar comments apply to 1, however she is shorter in body, but hasn’t the rear angualtion of 1. Very pretty bitch, with a lovely expression, another one that needs to tighten in front. Moved ok, but didnt have the drive of 1.

2, Burgess, GUNALT ROCK OUT WITH HANTZBURG ShCM RL1 P-BEG. Ex VW

10 ½ year old Male who you wouldn’t think was any older than 1 by the way he moved round the ring. Not as balanced as 1 and preferred the head of 1. Masculine head would prefer a little less length in foreface, long neck into well placed shoulders, well ribbed up, good length to height ratio, handler tends to over stretch him which then loses the lovely bend of stifle that he does have. Moved so well for age and gave his younger kennel mate a run for his money. RBOB. BVIB. 

Chesapeake Bay Retriever

17 month old bitch, who stood alone, but well deserving of her BOB.

2, Osman, CATTISTOCK COSMOS WITH MARISSOLO 

17th month B/W male, preferred the head on this boy, but he isn’t as balanced as 1 at this time. Handler tended to stand him quite short, which gave the elusion of not having enough length to body. He is well boned, muscled and ribbed up, with a strong rear. Moved well, but not quite the stride or finesse of 1.

Large Munsterlander 

Graduate (2,1) 

1, Disney, KAMAZE DANCE IN THE DARK 

11 month old male, who oozes breed quality and goes above and beyond the general appearance of alert and energetic. Balanced male presented in good coat and condition, wonderful head with correct head shape, his expression put a smile on my face. Firm body with correct length and depth nothing over exaggerated with this male he has good front and rear angulation and stands on nice strong feet. In order to see this on the move, I did ask the handler to get a runner, with which I was not disappointed when he settled he showed off his quality by moving out with the springy, free movement. Up against his kennel mate in the challenge, but preferred the overall balance of this male to award him BOB, BP and later on Reserve Best Puppy in Show. 

Open (1,0) 

1, Disney, SH CH WONGLEPONG WILLS FARAMIR

It was no surprise that when I looked this male was a Sh Ch, he again oozes quality, however not as clean in the front as the graduate winner.

Welsh Springer Spaniel 

I would like to say that judging this breed was one of my highlights of the day down to 2 junior handlers, it was exciting to see young people with their dogs look and handle their dogs so professionally. A 5 year old that had never been in the ring before fell over, dusted herself off and carried on. A lot can be learnt from these two young handlers and I wish them all the best in their handling careers. 

Puppy (1,0) 

1, Reynolds and Mcllwaine - BENOVEOR THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Open Dog (3,1) 

1, Mcllwaine & Reynolds, KAMUNTING CAST AWAY TO BENOVEOR JW 

2, good examples of the breed in this class and a very close decision, I just preferred the outline of my winner over 2. I loved this dogs head, he has a proper welshie head, correct proportions, good ear set, dark eyes and an expression that melts you. He isn’t the most confident of dogs in the ring which lets him down slightly. Well boned and carrying the right amount of weight muscle and coat for his frame. Well bodied with good spring of rib. Stong hindquarters with good bend of stifle. When his young handler got hold of him, he moved out with purpose and drive, just lacking the enthusiasm that you come to expect of welsh. 

2, Attwood, IR SH CH KYLOWEN DRYM Sh CM ShCEx
