Spaniel (Cocker)

Dogs

Minor puppy

1: WALKER, Miss Megan L Andalasia Gunfire, just 6-month-old b/r and very much the baby. He is good for size and has a pleasing expression. Well ribbed for his age. When he thought about it, he put his feet in the right place.

Puppy

1; DUNCAN, Mrs L A Dunherl Mountain Ash, all male b/r of 9 months old. He pleases for size and shape and is a decent type. Moved on the right track, could possibly just benefit from a few pounds off.

Junior

1: HARRISON, Mr & Mrs T & H Glenbrows Blue Sherbert JW, 12-month b/r of real quality and style. He has a very decent head and expression, well ribbed and boned, super for size and won the class today on precision on the out and back. Should have a title ahead of him.

2: BUCK, Mr & Mrs Jeff & Tracy Clavaire Marrakesh Sky, o/r who I really liked and if honest preferred his head. He was beautifully presented and is also very well ribbed and boned. He pleases in profile and keeps an outline, I just felt he was just a tad erratic on the out and back. But he is quality throughout.

3: WILLIAMS, Mr & Mrs R & S L Wilmerella Highlander

Yearling

1: TAIT, Mr H Crimicar Midnight Destiny, b/r dog who is good for size. Keeps his online in profile. Would prefer more chiselling in head and a slightly better mouth. Balanced in angulation.

Post Grad

1: SHERIDAN, Mrs Julie Ann & HACKETT, Mrs Angela Lindridge Star Attraction JW, b/r who on the class with some to spare. Very decent for type, he pleases for head and expression. Super for forehand and strong neck into topline. Well ribbed and super feet. Beautifully presented and moved out well.

2: YOUNG, Mrs S & YOUNG, Miss D Canyonn Black Caviar JW, black dog who pleases on inspection. He is good for type and has a decent head and expression. Well ribbed back, he kept an outline. Just not the finish of the winner today.

3: MCSHANE, Ms Karen Victoria & MCSHANE, Mr Brian Meggiemac Black Pearl

Limit

1: PLATT, Mrs S Allert's Fine Dining At Charbonnel, very exciting b/r who presents the most gorgeous outline. His head and expression are masculine but beautifully proportioned, strong neck into super forehand, correct topline and tailset. Well angulated behind. On the move he settled into a very impressive stride. I really liked him, and he should easily title. RCC

2: MCMURDO, Mr R Black As Sooty Lad, black dog who is just a little plain in head. He has a good neck and has depth to chest. Decent tail set. He just needs to finish in middle piece.

Open

1: HACKETT, Mrs A P Sh Ch Lindridge Front Runner, o/r of real quality with the most exquisite head and expression. On the table, very little to change, with super forehand, deep to chest, strong neck and firm topline. Short coupled and beautiful presented. On the move he uses himself and has that merry cocker bustle. I thought him to be truly Cockery and an outstanding example of the breed. CC & BOB

2: KEELY, Mr & Mrs M J & K Sh Ch Oakbeach Dare To Dream Big With Alhambian (S, close up and I really liked this dog too, another with a very pleasing and typical head, strong neck into firm topline and moved out very well in profile, today I just felt him to be a little narrow coming towards me and this tipped the balance. Very worthy of his title.

3: WILLIAMS, Mr & Mrs R & S L Sh Ch Wilmerella Outlander JW

Veteran

1: ROBINSON, Mrs M Wilmerella Perfect Storm, 7-year-old b/r of type. In super condition. Decent for head and expression. Has a very typical outline. BV

2: WHEATLEY, Mr R & Mrs M Wilmerella Keep Dancing With Melandroy, 13 ½ b/r who is a real credit to his owner being in superb condition of his age. The only way you could tell was he was just a tad stiff in movement today.

Special Beginners Dog / Bitch

1: VERE, Miss A Adrona Continental, black boy who is good for size and shape, he pleases for head properties and is well ribbed. Moved out keeping his outline.

2: LESLIE, Mrs Susan & LESLIE, Mr Daniel Ferrersedge Shilling, young b/r who was sadly rushed into his previous class. Now settled he produced a decent outline and put his feet in the right place. I liked his head and expression and his good for size.

3: COLLINGS, Mrs Amanda & COLLINGS, Mr Kevin Chativore Sea Pebble At Colmandakev

Bitches

Minor Puppy

1: HARRISON, Mr & Mrs T & H Ryallcourt Modern Millie At Glenbrows, 8-month b/r of real potential. Superb head and expression. Strong neck, into firm topline. Balanced angulation and well ribbed for her age. Very showy and precise in action.

3: BURTON, Mrs Lorraine & BURTON, Mr David Snowgate Destiny To Dreamist

Puppy

1: M & M EKSTRAND, Mr & Mrs M J & K Keely Oakbeach Crash Boom Bang Into Alhambian, Exceptional b/r puppy who produces a wonderful outline and is truly cockery. Her head and expression are a delight, and she is so very well made. Big ribs, strong topline and super tail set. On the move she is precise and free, and it was her ease in profile that clinched the class. Should title easily. BP and could not resist her for the RCC.

2: TAVERNOR, Mrs E Cassom Dancing Queen At Regaltav, I really liked this young lady very much too and I can see her changing places on more that one occasion. Very close up and I was splitting hairs. She too is title bound and it was just the profile action of the winner that split them.

3: AYKROYD, Mr E Dartemist Love Of Moby Of Clydesian

Junior

1: WILLIAMS, Mr & Mrs R & S L Wilmerella Memphis Belle, b/r who presents a very pleasing and feminine outline. She has a pretty head and expression, strong neck, excellent forehand and is well ribbed. She was precise on the move and well presented.

2: LESLIE, Mrs Susan & LESLIE, Mr Daniel Ferrersedge Farthing, o/r who scores in head and expression and she was beautifully presented, she is very cockery in outline and once settled and drops in her chest, she will be a real contender.

3: HOLLAND, Mr Stephen Kyna Touch Of Magic To Holchancer

3: TAVERNOR, Mrs E Cassom Blue Muse At Regaltav

Limit

1: AMOS-JONES, Miss S Cassom Merrilegs, super b/r bitch so beautifully put together. Very cockery in outline and temperament. She pleases very much on the table with her soft expression, strong neck into firm topline and correctly set tail. Big ribbed and powerful in action where she carries herself with an ease of stride. Beautifully presented and not overdone in coat. CC and I hope her title is not too far off.

.2: LEWIS, Mrs T A Haradwater Vanity Fair At Penmartan (imp Prt), close up this b/r bitch also has a very impressive outline. She is super to go over and moved out well holding her outline. In fabulous condition, I just preferred the expression of the winner.

She is good for size and in super condition. In the challenge she was a tad erratic on the out and back, which cost her. But she is worthy of a title.

3: MCSHANE, Ms Karen Victoria & MCSHANE, Mr Brian Meggiemac Dollie Dexterity.
