Cocker Spaniels:

PD/B (3, 2) 1 Mason’s Lynshow Kilda, later was my Res. Best of Breed and Best Puppy in Breed – 9 month old, balanced young dog. Correct head and expression. Well padded, cat-like feet both front and rear with enough bone. Correct angulations and coat texture. Moved merrily around the ring with correct tail action. Needs more maturing of course. A very promising pup.

LD/B (3, 1) 1 Furzer’s Durham Blue, later my Best of Breed – A 4-year-old male of good size, shape and proportions. Good bone and substance. Lovely head and expression, very strong and compact body with ribs well sprung and a nice level topline that he carried nicely around the ring with a lively tail action. 

2 Mason’s Lynshow Novna – A 3-year-old female with a correct overall body of good bone. Typical feminine head and expression and correct topline. Feet well padded, correct angles and bend of stifles. She also moved very well around the ring with a merry tail action. Just think she needs a better and fuller coat.

Irish Setters:

GD/B (3, 2) 1 Tupper & Rosie’s Alolfrana’s WelshCrusader, later was my Res. Best of Breed – A 13-month-old male of good size and proportions with a correct head and expression. Needs more maturing of course but unfortunately, on the day he was reluctant when moving round the ring and it was probably due to the slippery surface. I also prefer him with a better topline when stacked.
