P (2,1abs): 1. Critchley’s Bracciano Now or Never O/W B of 9M, still a real baby at this stage, I like her head with it’s correct proportions and planes, good earset and length, she has enough forechest, a strong neck into good shoulders and nice depth for age, well boned legs but I would prefer tighter feet, she needs body up and strengthen behind but she’s a lovely sound mover BP & Gundog Puppy Group 4, congratulations

Y (1): 1. Warburton’s Owlspoint Loads of Trouble at Heberhouse JW I’ve done this boy well in the past, the first time I judged him was as a puppy at 9 months, I awarded him BP & BOB that day and he went on to win BPIS that day and I’ve watched him with interest since then and was pleased to have the opportunity to get my hands on him again, at 21M he’s starting to fulfil his early promise, he has a head of correct proportions and a lovely expression, good front and depth of chest with well sprung ribs, he’s a well-balanced, almost square dog as required by the standard, well muscled hindquarters which he uses to good effect on the move which is sound and driving, I have no doubt he’ll be troubling the best with a few more months maturity under his belt, pushed hard for BOB, unfortunately no RBOB but it would have been his if there had been.

O (3,1): 1. Bell’s Whitgun Rengade Master at Owlspoint JW last time I judged this boy he was just into Junior today he is the finished picture, super head of correct width with a slightly arched muzzle when viewed from the side, he has a soft intelligent expression from eyes of a good colour, he has tightened in eyelid since last time, he has a short, powerful neck into well laid shoulders, good width and depth of chest, balanced fore and aft and presenting an almost square picture, well boned legs to correct oval, arched feet, well muscled hindquarters saw him drive soundly around the ring with a good ground covering action, pleased to award him BOB. 2. Warburton’s Withamfriary Lush Blossom at Heberhouse there’s no mistaking the sex of this BI, she is so feminine but not lacking in substance or type, nice head of correct proportions, inquisitive expression, good angulation all round, has the desired depth of chest and spring of rib just would have liked a little more in front, she has a strong topline to correct tailset and is the correct height to length ratio, moved soundly
