German Shorthaired Pointers, Southern Counties 2024

Special Beginners (3,2)

1. No More Cloudy Days

A very elegant, feminine bitch with quality. Square in her body proportions. Quality head with good length of muzzle, attractive expression. Pleasing lips and prominent eyebrows. Would not want her ears any longer than this. Pleasing neck with a nape. Moderately angulated in front, she may develop some more forechest. Good depth of brisket. Pleasing topline, well set tail. I would prefer some more strength to her hindquarters. Moved light on her feet, keeping her balance, not perfect coming and going. Attractive coat and colour, well handled.

Minor Puppy Dog (3)

1. Seasham Jingle Jangle

A very attractive puppy, so well constructed and proportioned, he truly filled my eye. His head still needs to grow on a bit, but has all the essentials. Excellent earset. Beautiful neck into shoulder, excellent topline and tailset. Balanced angulation both ends. Correct depth and width of brisket. Excellent coat and colour. He moved remarkably soundly and well coordinated, at all times keeping a beautiful balance. Interesting to learn that he is by the best veteran out of the BOB-winner, I predict an excellent future. Best Puppy

2. Lagopusmoor Aniken

Black dog, at this age he is rather rangy and could do with some more weight. Mature in his head with excellent length of muzzle, attractive lips, dark expressive eyes. Acceptable ears. Strong neck, quite pleasing forechest for his age and with a good return of upper arm, he still needs to stabilize in his front. Straight topline, tail is high set. Balanced angulation behind. Not as settled nor as stable in movement as the winner.

Puppy Dog (5)

1. Seasham Jingle Jangle

2. Jomeel Pulp Fiction

A well balanced solid brown dog. He has a typical head with good length of muzzle, would not want any more stop to his head, excellent ears. Attractive nape of neck which is well set into the withers. Very pleasing forechest for his age, attractive body shape, both to his topline and underline. Tending to fall of a little much over the croup, but this did not stop his much from striding out. Well angulated behind. Beautiful coat and colour. Quite a sound mover from all angles, but still up to the winner.

3. Ludwig Od Tekly

Junior Dog (4)

1. Tequesta Poldark JW

Attractive, well balanced dog, combining substance with elegance. His head is very well developed, but not his crowning glory as it is strong and masculine, but could do with some more fill under the eyes and less lips. Strong neck, well set. Balanced angulation both ends. Deep brisket with enough volume. Excellent topline and well set tail. Excellent coat and colour. He moved light on his feet, well co-ordinated and sound coming and going.

2. Jomeel Pulp Fiction

3. Sarscottah Easy Ryder at Rollenwood

Post Graduate Dog (3)

1. Fraulynzway Lightning Bolt JW

Certainly masculine, a big and strong dog with very good construction, well made all over. Typical, strong, masculine head with good length of muzzle and an attractive slightly roman nose. Excellent lips. Very pleasing ears. Strong neck, well set into shoulders. Very good forechest. He stands well over his legs and feet. Excellent topline, short enough in body, well angulated behind. He moved soundly and gave a functional appearance, even if a bit heavy footed.

2. Agdenusher Muberry

An attractive dog with plenty of quality about him. Attractive, masculine head and lovely expression. Good ears, well set. Medium neck. I would prefer some more layback of upper arm and his elbows closer to body both standing and moving. Very pleasing topline, moderately angulated behind. He moved light on his feet, keeping a pleasing balance from the side. Acceptable coming and going.

3. Braneath Pregrine

Limit Dog (4)

1. Pinseeker Pep Guardiola JW

A dog with obvious quality, instantly eye-catching and with a lot of breed type about him. Attractive head with good length of muzzle. Enough lips. Excellent ears. Long and very well set neck. Excellent front construction with very good layback of upper arm and a pleasing forechest. He stood very well indeed over his front legs. Deep and capacious chest, I would prefer some more weight on him and more width over the loin. Strong topline, well set and carried tail. Well angulated behind. He moved well enough to win the class, but I am sure he could mover even better with his construction, tending to side-track quite a bit and not fully concentrating on the task.

2. Pelenrise Al Guns Blazing JW

Masculine, well balance dog of very pleasing type and quality. Typical head with excellent expression. Very good ears. Strong neck, reasonable shoulder and upper arm. Deep chested, he has an attractive topline with a slight arch over his loin. Moderately angulated behind, I would prefer some more. He opened up well on the move from the side, looking his best, but another who tended to side-track coming and going.

3. Keigame Hvitserk of Sparkenhoe

Open Dog (5)

1. Kilnrae Berliner

A dog combing substance with quality, all male without any lumber, he truly filled my eye. Head with excellent length and very pleasing lip profile, typical stop and eyebrows. Excellent ears, very expressive. Long neck, well set, excellent forechest and return of upper arm, deep brisket. Attractive outline with a light arch over the loin and a well set tail. Well angulated behind. He moved with style and well co-ordinated from the side, but tended to side-track coming and going. CC

2. Sh.Ch. Winterwell Iggy Inch JW

Another very attractive dog, typically square and a powerhouse in side movement. Masculine head with very pleasing expression and very good length of muzzle. Beautifully set neck into excellent shoulders and very good return of upper arm, I would not want him any wider in front. Deep, capacious and shapely body, well set tail. Moved very well indeed from the side, but another who tended to sidetrack. Excellent coat and colour. ResCC

1. Sh.Ch. Taftazini Aiden Abbett

Strong, masculine dog of excellent size. Typical head and expression, well set ears. Strong neck, pleasing forechest. Very good topline with slight arch over the loin. Pleasing bone and feet.

2. Pingarypoint Hot to Trot

Seven year old bitch, very feminine. Attractive head and expression. Pleasing ears. Good neck into shoulder. A little longer in her body proportions, but with a firm back and balanced angulation behind. Excellent coat and colour. She has lost some of her animation on the move.

Minor Puppy Bitch (3)

1. Seasham Too Much Heaven

A eight months old, this is a very feminine bitch with a very attractive outline, even if she still needs to grow up a bit on her legs. Attractive head and expression, feminine and well filled. Very pleasing ears. Neck with an attractive nape, well set, good layback of upper arm. Firm topline, well set tail. Well angulated behind. Lovely coat and colour. She moved with soundness and precision and showed her heart out. Best bitch puppy.

2. Seasham Embrace at Shoshoni

A very similar bitch, the same critique also describes her. But not quite the neck-set of the winner. Another very powerful and effective mover, still needs to grow up on her legs.

3. Valger Tamara

Puppy Bitch (3)

1. Seasham Too Much Heaven

2. Orchidstar Silver Lightnin

Feminine bitch of very pleasing proportions and with elegance and class. Attractive, feminine head with good length and an attractive profile. Beautiful, clean neck, well set. Moderate angulation in front. Attractive topline, her underline is not her fortune. Well set and carried tail. Needs to develop some more strength to her hindquarters both standing an moving, but kept her balance well on the move and was quite pleasing coming and going.

Strong topline with a slight arch of loin and a well set tail, in all making a beautiful silhouette both standing and moving. Balanced angulation both ends. She moved soundly and cleanly.

3. Ceilloch Luck Be A Lady

Post Graduate (6,1)

1. Keigame Hearts Desire of Sparkenhoe

A feminine, elegant bitch, on the longer side in her body. She has a long, refined, feminine head with excellent length of muzzle, but could do with some more width to the whole head. Excellent ears. Neck with an attractive nape. Balanced angulation both ends. Beautiful underline, acceptable topline. Well set and carried tail. I would prefer her coat to be shorter than this, but it has a correct structure to it. Moved quite well from all angles, but could have kept her topline even firmer on the move.

2. Graygees Tsarine

A very dynamic bitch, strongly built, if not at all big. Typical head with very good lip-line and pleasing length of muzzle. Strong neck. Could be less wide over the shoulders and tends to look too heavily muscled. She has a lot of energy on the move and made a workmanlike impression. Excellent coat, well handled.

An instantly eye-catching bitch as she has plenty of quality and an attractive outline. Feminine head with excellent length and ideal muzzle and stop. Excellent ears. Beautifully crested neck, well set. Excellent topline and well set tail. I would not like any more angulation behind than this. She still moved quite well from the side, reasonable coming and going.
