Retriever (Chesapeake Bay)

Puppy (2/0)

1st Middleton & Mahon-Hunns – Susqudilla Bergelle Big Apple (Imp USA) What an absolute cracker of a puppy, at 7 months old super type, and coat. Masculine head, broad and round with correct muzzle to skull proportions. Intelligent expression. Correct scissor bite, strong neck of medium length. Good amount of bone and nice straight front. Topline level, well sprung ribs. Stifles well turned. Moved out well and looked super in profile, a little untidy going away but for 7 months impressive. I look forward to seeing how he progresses in the future. Best Puppy & Res Best of Breed.

2nd Griffin-Woods’ – Melseed Perseverance By Migwell. Just 6 months old and much finer all through, a youngster that was certainly enjoying her day. Nice overall shape in profile with a good strong topline. Coat still needs to develop more. Movement was a little erratic but just a baby will come together I am sure. Head of correct proportions, ear set correct. Neck of medium length. Stifles well turned.

1st Watts’ – Oakleaf Manor Bay Of Oakmarsh (imp) DEU JW This 2 yr old bitch is very eyecatching being Sedge in colour, which I have not seen very often. In profile she is slightly longer cast than I would like. Good head proportions, Neck strong and of medium length, A little out of coat at the moment, but moved out well and clean.

1st Mahon-Hunns & Newton’s – Sh Ch Arnac Bay Huron at Bergelle JW 5 yrs Dog – my first note says excels in coat, which he does, in profile he really did stand out today, balanced and masculine. Nice amount of bone, straight in front, correct topline. Super head with correct proportions, neck strong and medium in length. Moved out effortlessly correct in all profiles. Very pleased to award him Best of Breed and see him take BIS3 today congratulations.

2nd Pont’s – Sh Ch Oakmarsh Dancing Diva One I have judged and done well in the past – 7yr Bitch, in good coat, smaller all through than 1 but very well balanced. Good head proportions, Topline correct with a good tail carriage. I would like slightly stronger pasterns she seems a little down on these today, could be the soft surface that didn’t help.
