AFGHAN HOUND

P 3(2)

1. Holder’s Zendushkas Rolling Stone at Farakushk. Very much a baby, very playful, good bone and feet, pleasing head and just needs to body up, very capable in profile, good croup, good ring tail, glimpses of correct movement, will watch with interest, BP.

PG 3(1)

1. Hills/Thornton’s Absolute Afghans Djibouti at Karnak JW (imp NOR). Better reach than 2nd, excellent head and jaw with primitive head, covered ground well, nicely balanced overall.

2. Parsons’ Ayoubkhan Honeysuckle to Shukriya JW. Smaller and just not the shoulder of 1, very nice springy movement and overall outline, just didn’t cover the ground so effectively.

O 3(0)

1. Seamarks/Nemoto’s Sayadena Northern Lights (imp BEL) VW. Covered ground beautifully, overall balance and in good muscled condition, moved well in profile and also on the out and back, BOB.

2. Gosling’s Ch. Ayoubkhan Silk Road JW. Sadly not settled today, moved really well and in good muscled condition, a little bit head shy but pleasing head and expression, good bone and feet, different day and different surroundings, I really think this is a nice dog, RBOB.

3. Parsons’ Joneca Fire Cracker by Shukriya JW.

BEAGLE

PG 5(2)

Williams’ Tachnamadra Au Revoir to Milesend. Very masculine but nice overall balance, moved well in profile, heavily coated but good angulation underneath.

ENGLISH SETTER

P 1(0)

J 1(0)

1. Hubbard’s Leilasett Devil or Angel. Repeat.

PG 2(0)

1. Williams’ Richecca Midwinter. Male, still young, balanced and really nice noble expression, good bone, still to develop but maturing nicely.

2. Deering’s Pettifox of Rosetimber. Bitch, on nice feet, again still very immature, dog sensed the apprehension of handler who wasn’t confident moving on this surface so would like to see that improve next time if I ever get to judge this dog again because I do think that it could make more of itself.

O 1(0) 

1. Whittington’s Juldeane Line of Duty (AI)Stood alone but lovely in profile, great forward extension, 3½ year old, nicely muscled, good croup and good overall balance, BOB.
