English Setter

I had enormous pleasure judging this wonderful entry today and I would like to thank all exhibitors, not only to opportunity to judge your dogs, but for the wonderful sportsmanship shown throughout the day. This is a breed that holds a very special place in my heart, and they never fail to make one smile.

Dogs

Minor Puppy

1: HUGHES, Mr Graeme Mariglen here to eternity, 6-month-old blue coming along on the right lines. He has a delightful head and expression. He is good for size and has substance. Super topline, well-set tail. And carries it well. on the move he was the most precise of the class.

2: TUCKER, Mrs C J Walshaw One More Night, 7-month orange of type and pleases for head and expression. I liked his outline, and he is totally balanced. Just needs to settle in front and he’ll be away.

3: CIAPUTA, Mrs Kim Ravensett Cote D'Azur

Puppy

1: OSMAN, Mrs M BOURNEHOUSE SIROCCO OVER MARISSOLO 10-month-old and very mature for his age. He has a super head and expression, well grown and has substance. In super condition and a coat of super texture. He is balanced and sound. Has a future for sure

2: HUGHES, Mr Graeme Mariglen here to eternity

Junior

1: MILLER, Mr Lester Ravensett Calvaro, orange of obvious type and quality. His head and expression are divine. He is in super coat and well bodied. Super for angles both fore and aft. On the move he has an ease of action and puts his feet in the right place. Decent one

2: DARLEY, Mrs Phoebe & DARLEY, Mr N A Severnsett Gold Sovereign, another very decent orange of slightly different type. Soft expression and super for neck into topline. Not quite the front of the winner, but he too kept an outline in profile and is well bodied. Another with a future.

3: VALLANCE, Ms M A Ennydloc Yorkshire Liaison to Rowanmyle

Grad

1: SNOOK, Mrs M A Moorbrook Mogul of March, dark blue boy who presents a typical outline stacked. All male, he has a very good head shape and soft expression. Well bodied and ribbed he moved out well in profile and scored on the out and back.

2`; THOMAS, Mrs Tracey Jane & THOMAS, Mr David Kanietter Sarka, blue boy who is in super condition. Pleasing head shape, a little in the teenage stage in body at the moment and a little proud of his tail today. Super topline and balanced in angles.

3: COLTON, Mrs P M Ennydloc Bells and Whistles

Post Grad

1: WILLIAMS, Mrs P D A Bournehouse Abracadabra, what an absolutely beautiful tri boy this is. His head and expression are classic, he is good for type and shape and presents the most typical outline. On the move he is easy, precise and stylish. He just needs to settle in confidence, and he will be hard to pass.

2`; SZAL, Mrs Beverley Sharnyx River Flow, liked this dark tri for type and size. He too pleases in expression, and he is balanced in outline. On the move he puts his feet in the right place. In super condition

3: SMETTEM MINSON, Mrs C Lucksheray Zenith of Fame at Chywoon (IMP RUS

Limit

1: SIMPSON, Mrs Lesley & SIMPSON, Mr Douglas Dalreavoch Northern Legend, blue dog. Immense quality and shape. Super head and expression. Strong neck into firm short topline. He is good in front and is well ribbed back with short string loin. Well set and carried tail. On the move he has style, uses his tail correctly and puts his feet in the right place. He should carry a title and I seriously considered him today. RCC

2: SYKES, Mrs Glenys Margaret & SYKES, Mr Roger Bumblecorn Robin at Daraquist, another quality blue dog who is beautiful for type and presents a superb shape stacked. His head and expression are a delight, and he is so good to go over. Sadly, he was a little rushed into the ring and so he didn’t quite use himself as well as I’m sure he can. He will have better days.

3: BISHOP, Mr & Mrs Keith & Jane Dyrham Desert Storm

Open

1: MCKIERNAN, Mr A M C K Ir Sh Ch Sh Ch Bushbane Celtic Rant, beautiful orange dog presented to perfection. His head and expression are an absolute delight, but it is when you go over him that he scores above the rest, his front is as near perfect as you are going to get, well ribbed back and firm in topline. Totally balanced behind. On the move he has style and is as sound as a pound. Class act. CC

2: TAYLOR, Mrs L Sh Ch Wansleydale Maybee JW, dark blue boy who I love for type, and he too has the most beautiful head and expression. He is beautifully ribbed and is in optimism condition. Today he was not as clean coming towards me as the winner, and this was the deciding factor. However, he is one I would happily sign a certificate for.

3 WILSON, Mrs Jane & WILSON, Mr John Ir Sh Ch Ravensett Giovanni

Veteran

1: HOPPER, Ms Anne Bramstorm Forest Sprite, 7-year-old orange in super condition and enjoying his day out. good for size and shape, well ribbed and in good coat.

Special Beginners

1: SNOOK, Mrs M A Moorbrook Mogul of March

2: HENDRY, Mr Stuart & HENDRY, Mrs Beverley Ilexeset Sunny Disposition, from the junior class and he is just going through the teenage stage, but he has type about him. Once he gets his head around the job in hand, I’m sure he can have some fun. In super coat and condition.

3: THOMAS, Mrs Tracey Jane & THOMAS, Mr David Kanietter Sarka

Bitches

Minor Puppy

1: DENNIS, Mrs J M Mariglen My Heart Will Go On, absolutely beautiful 6-month-old blue puppy who has champion stamped all over her. My heart just melted when I went over her. Her head and expression are just simply divine. Beautifully put together and in superb condition. For one so young she put on such a polished performance that I simply could not ignore her. She is a delight. BP

2: ATYEO, Ms J & TAYLOR, Mr A Ravensett Cappuccino, tri bitch who also presents a pleasing outline. She too has a lovely head and expression, and she is balanced in angulation. Moved out on the right track.

3: HARRADINE, Miss E J Mandyset Oops I Did It Again at Halliana

Puppy

1: SYKES, Mrs Glenys Margaret & SYKES, Mr Roger Sharnyx Springtime at Daraquist, 9-month-old orange of type and style. She has a delightful head and expression, good neck into firm topline. Is bodying up nicely. On the move she is precise, just needs to gain a little in confidence and she’ll be away.

2: SKEGGS-GOOCH, Mrs Gillian Nellasett Velvet Brown, 9-month tri who has a lot to like about her and she will finish on the right lines. Just a tad erratic on the move today, but she will settle and have better days, I’m sure.

Junior

1: WILLIAMS, Mrs P D A Bournehouse Eternal Love, Simply sensational orange bitch. In she walked and quite simply stole the show for me today. Her outline is so quintessentially English, with the most glorious head and delightfully soft and feminine expression. To go over her, there is very little to change as she is so well made and completely balanced. She is also in the most wonderful coat and body condition. However, it is on the move that you cannot ignore her. Her action is so true, she keeps an outline and uses her tail constantly. In the challenge she continued to impress me, and I could not walk past. CC and BOB. She is going to rate as one of the greats, I’m sure.

2: PATON, Mr D & PATON, Mrs AAW Bournehouse Eternal Flame for Meadowfoot, orange and similar in type. She pleases for expression and moves out well. She is well bodied and in good coat. She may not quite have the wow factor of the winner, but she has so many other similar attributes that when it came to calling her back in for the challenge, she just asked for the RCC and was rewarded. I was told that they were litter sisters afterwards, which in all honesty did not surprise me.

3; OWEN, Ms Patricia Marwessett Ysobel Enigma at Cornsett

Grad

1; OWEN, Ms Patricia Sharnyx Sparklin Starlight at Cornsett, super orange girl who is presented to perfection and has a really typical outline. Her tail never stopped, and she was the soundest mover in the class. Delightful head and expression, well off for bone and is well ribbed. I liked her.

2: STEPHENSON, Mrs Jakki Mariglen Wave Dancer for Bondgate JW, blue bitch of type and she too has a decent head. Just needs to drop into her frame and she’ll be away. In excellent coat.

3: WELBURN, Mrs Nicola Jane & WELBURN, Mr Paul Oshowa Dream come true

Post Grad

1: HOWARTH, Mrs J & HOWARTH, Mr David Moorbrook Owdid Thatappen JW, dark blue bitch of type and quality. Delightful head and expression well-presented and moved out on the right track keeping an outline in profile. She is well ribbed and bodied. Won the class on attitude.

2: STUBBINGTON, Mr Howard Quensha's Viva La Vida Bondgate, tri bitch that I loved stacked, and she is delightful for type and so well put together. On the move, she is precise but just needs to get her head around what she has to do. Champion quality though

 3: DYKES, Mrs A Caleydene Connextion

Limit

1: DARLEY, Mrs Phoebe & DARLEY, Mr N A Severnsett Dark Angel, blue bItch of type and quality. She is pleasing for size and substance yet retains a look of femininity. On the move she was precise on the out and back and kept her outline in profile, which is what clinched the class for her.

2: LOAKES, Mrs S D Goldbirch Hearts Desire JW, tri bitch with the prettiest of head and expressions, she was in glorious coat and condition and presented to perfection. To go over she is super, but she just lost her topline a little in profile today and this coat her.

3: TUCKER, Mrs C J Walshaw Center Stage

Open

1: BUCKLEY, Miss L A Sh Ch Tattersett Cool Roxy at Fishwick, orange of quality and oozes femininity. She has a glorious outline, and her head and expression are a delight. She screams type and is presented beautifully. Super to go over and is precise on the move. I just felt that she flagged slightly in the challenge and so had to bow today to the younger ladies.

Moved on the right track and is sound.

2: WILLIAMS, Mrs P D A Sh Ch Bournehouse Precious Dream, close up and she too is gorgeous for type. Moved well in profile, just felt she could have been cleaner coming towards me.

3: PATON, Mr D & PATON, Mrs AAW Bournehouse Secret Destiny For Meadowfoot

Veteran

1: LOAKES, Mrs S D Sh Ch Rachdale Painted Lace At Goldbirch, 8 ½ year old blue in amazing condition. Super for outline and type, she is well put together and moves with style and soundness. Real credit to her owner and the breed and it is easy to see why she carries a crown. BV

2: HOSKIN, Mrs S Walshaw Watercolours, tri who is in good body and well ribbed. Pretty expression and moved on the right track.
