Good angulation to front and rear, good width to thighs, stifles moderately bent.

It was unfortunate he played the handler up when moving for the challenge for the puppy group. 2nd Hutchins FOXRIEVER MOON DANCER 11 month old liver Curly Coated Retriever bitch. Good shape and balance to head, good eye colour to harmonise with coat. Good body proportions, decent angulation to front with moderate bend of stifle on rear, which I preferred to litter sister who was third. 3rd Inman FOXRIEVER SILVER WING AMONG KEAMAROLA C.C.R.

A very good example of the breed, 2nd Bradbury / Preston HARASTEORRA BIG BEAR JW Res AVNSC, 4 year old Sussex Spaniel. Nice example of the breed.

Moved round the ring with elegance and power which just tipped the 2nd placed dog. 2nd Millington’s CARNEVAL OF GOLDEN DUCK-COBEY AT JARABEES (IMP SRB) Golden Retriever of 8 years, another who was in good form for his age. Thought it was my winner but just pipped at the post on movement. Nevertheless a good example of the breed, lovely masculine head but not overdone, good angulation to front and rear, good straight forelegs, on good feet. I believe this placing gave him his VW, congratulations. 3rd Connolly AMBIKA TRANQUIL SPIRIT FOR BENMORBRY Gundog Group 1. Field Spaniel 2.
