Rhyl Canine Society

Thank you to the committee for the kind invitation and the exhibitors for a lovely entry. Unfortunately the floor was rather slippery with no matting and some of the dogs struggled with grip. I was very pleased to see my BOB/BP do so well in the groups!

Bracco Italiano
Puppy (2) Little to choose between these brothers.
1st Warburton’s Owlspoint Loads Of Trouble
Appealing puppy with typical head and soft expression. He has a strong front with correct length of body and good stifle. He moved well away and back on tight feet BP
2nd Fazenfield/Smith’s Owlspoint Askin For Trouble
Very similar to his brother, I just preferred the head and width of chest of 1

Typical head and good eye and deep muzzle. Well laid shoulders with quality oval bone and tight feet. Deep rib and slight arch to his loin with well bent stifle. Good tail carriage on the move. BOB & G3

This breed in particular struggled with the floor and atmosphere of the venue.

Puppy (2) Two nice puppies
1st Bell/Maddox’s Brent Deville’s Advocate at Owlspoint BP
Lovely 7mth boy presenting a good outline in profile. Lovely head of good proportion leading to a slightly arched neck. Nice depth of rib and short coupled. Well angulated stifle with short hocks. On the move he was straight and showed good reach in profile BP & PG1
2nd Astbury’s Raigmore Leap of Faith To Dorbury
Another nice puppy with good head properties and kind expression. Nicely balanced angulation all round with well sprung ribs. On the move he was a little wide in front and close behind which was the deciding factor on the day.

Junior (4)
1st Booth’s Lundgarth Jubilee
Pretty young lady with a lovely head and kind eye. Good length of neck to good topline and tailset. Enough depth of rib and quality oval bone. Good width of thigh and short hock giving accurate movement which won her the class.

Lovely head and expression on this young lady. Muscular neck and strong topline with nicely set tail. Well sprung rib of good depth with well placed elbows. Strong and short in loin with well angulated rear. Excellent bone and good oval toes. On the move she was true both ways and went well in profile. BOB

Attactive head and dark eye. Shoulders well placed with nice front angulation. Correctly set tail and good rear. Moved well.

Cocker Spaniel

Puppy (2)
1st Prydderch’s Rockllocers Pucelle
I really liked this orange baby of almost 7mths. Square muzzle and lovely eye. Good length of neck and compact body. Super front angulation and matching rear. Good depth for a youngster with nice bone and feet. Very happy on the move. BP
2nd Bird’s Aughlish’s Holy Holly at Aberyn
Not as forward as 1 and of a different type. Nice head, good length of neck and well angulated front. Moved nicely.

2nd Pendlebury’s Cooleela Black Beauty at Sandabys
Another nice youngster with many of the same qualities as 1. Good head and expression, well made in the body with a short loin and good tailset. Moved true with a happy action. Beautifully presented.
3rd Thomas’ Manlinson Happy Together

Stronger in head than 1 and a little throaty. Nicely angulated front and good topline. Nice rear with short hocks. Would benefit from a little less weight. Moved well.

Welsh Springer Spaniel
Puppy (4)
1st Ward’s Glenbrows Flame For Tantaraviz
Happy little girl with a balanced head and naughty expression. Deep enough in brisket with good length of loin. Quality bone and the best of feet. She coped with the floor well and won the class on movement. BP & PG4
2nd Graham’s Nyliram The Suspect
Of a different type to 1. Attractive head and good eye. Good length of neck to strong topline. Good width of thigh and short in hock. She struggled to grip on this surface and was a bit tentative on the move. I would like to see her outside where I think she would make more of herself.
