GERMAN LONGHAIRED POINTER

PGD (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: Roberts & Kent’s SARSCOTTAH DALGLISH

A pleasing youngster that presents a balanced outline. Masculine in head, good depth of flew, kind dark eye. Strong through neck, well developed in chest and has well muscled hindquarters with good thigh width. Shown in excellent sleek coat and good muscular condition. Moved away well but not so tidy in front movement, just needs to steady himself up and be more collected on the move. Res BD

1st: Thomson’s SWZ CH CH EP.CH .LUX IR SH CH.DUT CH. SARSCOTTAH ARRIS.

A powerfully built dog, all male, well off for bone and substance. Very pleasing in head good proportions of muzzle and skull, kind dark eye and correct earset. He has well laid shoulders and matching rear angulation to give him excellent overall balance. At almost nine years his coat was not at its best, but he still has such sound and stylish movement to take BD

1st Thomson’s SARSCOTTAH ECLIPSE

Really found this puppy attractive both in head and in her overall outline when stacked. Strong front assembly, with good spring of rib, firmly built throughout and correct bend of stifle. She is just approaching one year and I expect she will be a super bitch once finished, she was carrying more than enough weight today. BP

1st: Wright’s CALDERA CORAL DAWN AT LASSEMISTA

A really attractive and feminine bitch, lovely head and soft expression with ears set on high and well feathered. Correct front assembly with elbows tight in, she is well ribbed and has good rear angulation. .Her movement was sound and stylish, probably the best mover today. I considered her for Best Bitch but she lacks maturity at the moment and needs to fill out in chest, but that will come with time. Res BB.

2nd: Speck’s SARSCOTTAH DU SPECKTACULAR

It was a shame this young lady wasn’t co-operating today. She has a super head with good finish to flews and dark eye. She has good bone, deep in rib and strong loin. Difficult to assess her movement as she was very erratic, definitely worth spending time with this one as I expect she could do really well.

OB (5 Entries) Abs: 2

1st: Thomas’s SOPHISTICATED LADY

This bitch is very well constructed and balanced from every angle. Very pleasing head, dark brown eye and square finish to muzzle. Sound front assembly and has good depth, firm through body and correct sweep of stifle. On the move she is very precise and steady, I would prefer more animation and better use of tail. Presented in excellent condition and very well handled. Her overall attributes won her BB and BOB.

2nd: Thomson’s SWZ CH CH EP. CH CZ IR SH CH. LUX JR CH.BENElUX SARSCOTTAH CHARIZMA. This seven year old has a lovely head with a kind expression and correct eye chiselling. She is strongly built with correct body proportions, well ribbed and has strong hindquarters with good width. Moved out on a long stride driving off strong hocks.
