Saturday 30th September 2023

Super day out and some lovely dogs to go over, was so pleased we were able to be outside as the ring was a great size for moving the bigger breeds and although we had a bit of drizzle it held out. Huge thanks to the secretary and committee for the invitation to judge, always an honour and privilege. I have to say what a super lunch was put on too!!! Massive thanks to my 2 stewards who were efficient and great fun too.

Spaniel (Cocker)

Puppy (2/0) 1st KELLY’S CHATIVORE MELODY (11m B) Nice profile, with a nice straight front, a little erratic on the move. Head correct with square muzzle, distinct stop, and nice eye. Needs to just settle more on the move. BPIB 2nd BEDDOWS GLOWHILL STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN (11m D) Bigger all through than 1, nice shape, chest well developed for age, good bend of stifle.

Junior (4/1) 1st HUTTON-BABER’S ESQUEEN I’M ICONIC FOR BABTONKELPIE (IMP POL) (16m B) Eye-catching young bitch, the markings can make her look a little long in profile but she isn’t at all and is of the correct proportions. Head pleasing, clean chiselling, square muzzle and well-defined stop, good eye, correct neck and flat topline with gentle slope to tail. Would like a bit more cockery movement was a little flat but accurate, probably not helped by the drizzle. 2ND BROTHWELL’S WISSANT MOONLIT SKY JW (15m B) This was a very close call, this bitch presented a super outline, balanced and compact with a good front and good bend of stifle, nice head with correct proportions, nice eye just wasn’t as accurate on the move as 1 today. 3RD MARSHALL’S WISSANT MOON AND STARS (15m B)
