SPANISH WATER DOGS

Puppy (2)

1st Searles ROMMY DE UBBADAT (IMP ESP). A very soundly constructed brown bitch. She has a beautiful head, of correct shape and proportions with correct slight stop. Sound front assembly with elbows tight in, firm level back and correct angulation of stifle. She moved on a steady precise gait for such a youngster and very well handled. I predict a bright future for this one. BP

2nd Capille’s LENDEVER’S ALL BETS ARE OFF. Another promising puppy, attractive head with good eye colour and shape. Developing well in chest and body, ribs well sprung and has good width to hindquarters. Coat of correct woolly texture, not as together on the move today as my winner.

Junior (3)

1st. Hodgkinson-Rutherford & Rutherford’s ZORRAZO FROM PENNIES TO RICHES FOR CHANDERHILL (IMP HRV). Attractive head with flattish skull, strong through neck and well angulated shoulders. Firmly made body and has adequate rear angulation, she is still at the raw stage, just needs time.

2nd Clough’s PERRORIZADO ISLA ZUAZA. Difficult to assess as she didn’t want to be examined. Needs to gain confidence being handled. On the move, once settled she had a sound active gait. Definitely one worth persevering with.

3rd Gardiner’s PERRORIZADO ISLA GRACIA

Post-graduate (3)

1st Searles CRAVESSA’S BOTTOMS UP JW. A very soundly made dog with good bone and substance and so well constructed in all departments. Well balanced head with correct parallel planes, dark kind eye. Strong short neck, shoulders well laid with tight elbows. Coat of correct texture, holding topline well on the move.

2nd Capille’s ZORRAZO X FACTOR AT LENDEVER. A very well made brown/ white dog that presented a well balanced outline when stacked with correct angulation. Deep in chest, firm body with level topline and strong hindquarters with good width to thigh. Not as collected in movement as my winner.

3rd Slaymaker’s PERRORIZADO SAN ANDRES FOR SALVAJERO

Open (7)

1st Hodgkinson SH CH ZORRAZO QUEST FOR SUCCESS (IMP HRV) JW ESP JCH HR JCH. A very well balanced medium sized brown dog. He has excellent head proportions, flat skull, and expressive eyes. Well developed in chest, ribs well sprung and a strong level back. With his correct rear quarters he presents a pleasing outline when stacked. Moved out well, the best mover today and presented in tip top coat and muscular condition as expected from this handler. BOB

2nd Preece & Cooper’s JANAMORIO NORTHERN ARLO An eye-catching robust dog of excellent breed type. Built on a larger frame than my winner, he is very sound and well constructed throughout. Very appealing head with correct proportions and well shaped ears. Excellent forehand, with good depth of brisket, muscular hindquarters with good width to thigh He stands on strong hocks which gave him a powerful rear action. Lovely coat texture, very close decision in the class. My Res BOB
