Turriff District Agricultural Association Open Show

Judge Miss S Porter "Shearstone"

I had a brilliant time and was made to feel most welcome, you can’t beat a dry day out at an Agricultural Show that has a Dog Show attached. Thanks to my two efficient Stewards who kept the ring moving. The ring was large, level and the grass was short, a real credit to the Society, some Championship Shows would be green with envy. I thoroughly enjoyed doing the whole group apart from the Golden Retrievers and was delighted with the quality that I had.

Flat Coated Retriever Open 6 2a

1st Riach Aricdell Kraienkoppe - Youngest in the class and she was raw but had some lovely qualities about her, very clean, lovely angles front and back without exaggeration, standing true front and back on nice feet. Well-proportioned head that was feminine. She moved around the ring with ease, showing the racy lines that you expect. BOB

2nd Macpherson Rachanmill Colombo - A mature boy that had a lovely outline, and moved well, just preferred the head of my winner I was really splitting hairs in this class.

3rd Williamson Hoedun Joy Ride To Sandti

Gordon Setter Open 7 3a

1st Munro Hernwood Northern Adonis Of Dulmaur -This boy wasn’t giving his owner the easiest of times, he did his best to throw it away but I couldn’t look past him. He had a lovely head masculine but without any sign of coarseness. Good reach of neck lovely front angles elbows close to body deep through the chest. Gentle turn of stifle. Moved true.

2nd Munro Panthera Bad Medicine Dulmaur - Lovely head with nice eye, Well made through out just preferred the back movement of the boy.

3rd Tillett Fieldtalk’s King Of Queens

Hungarian Vizsla Post Grad 6 2a

1st Clubb & Mason Oroshaza Bumble Beee - Just out of puppy, this bitch was so eye catching when stacked. She had lovely head proportions with nice eye shape and colour. Good reach of neck into well placed shoulders, lovely forechest, elbows closely fitting. Level topline with a rounded croup. Gentle tuck up in the loin. Good turn to her stifle. Straight when viewed from front and rear. Moved out well. BOB & G3

2nd Angus Calmerell Gie It Laldy - Another lovely bitch who had a lovely shape to her, in lovely condition she moved out well with a lovely tail carriage.

I also placed him 4th in the stunning Veteran class at the end of the day. BOB

German Wirehaired Pointer Open 2

1st Chrystie Bareve Best Done Now A young dog with plenty of substance to him, when he was stacked up he presented a lovely shape, tended to be a lose cannon on the move, needs to get his act together then he will blossom into a real head turner. Not in the best of jackets today. BOB

2nd Dervish-Uman Caeneus Coronus At Todlachie Complete polar opposite to the boy in type, smaller bitch with a lovely head with masses of coat on her, moved out well.

German Shorthaired Pointer Open 2

2nd Lindridge Amidala Fast and Furrous JW Thought she had the best head out of the two, she gave me that superior look that the GSP has cornered the market in. Nice shape on her just felt she was carrying slightly too much weight here today.

Weimaraner Post Grad 2 1a

1st Charlish Harelferg Cookson Another who’s just out of puppy, she has a lovely head and eye on her giving her an intelligent expression. Good reach of neck. Straight front and rear legs. Moved out well. She should mature up nicely.

1st Simpson Strathlana Black Jasper - Loved this boy, from his correct head to the tip of his tail. Just stood himself four square with no effort needed to correct anything into place which must be a joy to his owner, nothing overdone, super length to his leg. It all just flowed with him giving him such a lovely silhouette. Moved out true front and back with his every wagging tail in correct coat. I would be chuffed to bits if he was mine. BOB & G1

Cocker Spaniel Junior 7 1a

1st Sinclair Claramand Mercury Rising At Duclarus

Felt really sorry for the minor puppies in this class as they looked so out of it compared to the ones at the top end of Junior. My winner had a balanced head, correct ear set, good length of neck set well onto shoulders that had good angulation. Level topline, short in the loin, nice tailset. A little too lively in the movement department to begin with, but he got his act together and covered the ground well.

1st Mackay’s Feriia Jacomelo (Italian Spinone) Really hard choice between these two in the end it went down to movement and breed type. He has a good head on him, good angles front and back really square powerful dog.
