AVNSC GUNDOG PUPPY (5, 3 Abs)

1. Cook’s EXELBY EMRYS. Labrador Retriever, yellow dog, 6 months on the day and showing so much promise, lovely head with kind expression beautifully made and well-proportioned, short coupled and compact with very good double coat. Straight front and rear and correctly angled, moved so very truly and soundly tribute to his construction.

2. Radcliffe’s SNIPERAY SUITE NOTE. Beautiful 6 month old Pointer bitch, standing looks an absolute picture, but today not so positive on the move in a small ring, close coming and going, just needs to fill out and tighten, though profile movement was good. A feminine well proportioned and defined head, chiselled with a kind expression, body proportions very pleasing symmetrical and short coupled, well boned and standing on well arched feet.

AVNSC GUNDOG POST GRADUATE (5, 2 Abs)

Pressed hard by his baby kennel companion, Best AVNSC Gundog & Gundog Puppy.

2. Radcliffe’s SNIPERAY MATTIBOO KILLER QUEEN. Lemon/W Pointer bitch, another with a very pleasing outline, very well made with a beautiful head, good angulation throughout, strong bone and well arched feet, moves freely with extension and drive in profile, but not so positive coming and going, needed a bigger ring to stride out fully.

AVNSC GUNDOG OPEN (2)

1. Fajardo’s GLOWHILL SPICKS AND SPECKS AT SANMATAYO. Blue roan Cocker Spaniel dog, carrying too much weight especially over the shoulders, but overall so well constructed, good angulation all through, well ribbed and short coupled, strong back, straight front and rear, moved very soundly if not a little sluggishly. Would like to see him again in harder condition, he has a pleasing head with good skull to muzzle ratio and an appealing expression from dark eyes.

2. Mair’s HIGHPOWLEY ROYAL ROSE. Black Labrador bitch, very feminine and every inch a worker, overall well constructed, sweet head and kind expression, excellent neck and shoulders, good forechest and upper arm, straight front, good topline, not quite the same strength in the rear, but moves so very soundly and freely.

1. Jardine’s WOODELLA HOT ROD VW. R/W Basenji dog, 9 years, one I have judged before. So very soundly made all through, moderate in all respects. Masculine head with well placed forward pointing ears, could do with a little more wrinkle, but so well constructed, stands truly on strong fine bone and neat well arched feet.

2. Wilson’s NICOLAS DREAM. Very pretty Whippet bitch, 8 years, lovely feminine head, good neck, upper arm and hind angulation.

AVNSC PASTORAL PUPPY (1)

1. Melvin & Jopson’s PRINCE OF SUNLIGHT ZENDAYA NITHVIEW. Absolutely stunning 6 month old Shetland Sheepdog, unfortunately very unsettled, but has a most beautiful head and expression, well placed ears and obliquely set almond eyes, strong bone and feet, elegance without coarseness, very well proportioned all through with a straight front and rear.

AVNSC PASTORAL POST GRADUATE (3)

1. Richardson’s NIEDERSACHENS PRIDE OVER NIGHT SENSATION AT STORINBLU. 13 month old Old English Sheepdog, underneath a correct harsh coat is a most beautifully and strongly made male, so correct all through, lovely masculine head well balanced with a kind eye, well defined stop, strong jaw and black nose, super neck and shoulders, good topline, excellent angulation. Like so many of the bigger dogs, could not quite get into his stride in a ring which favoured the smaller breeds, pacing, but there were moments of brilliance, showing reach and drive. A very impressive young dog, will watch his future with interest. BAVNSC Pastoral & Reserve Best In Show.

2. Barnes’ HIGHBROOK ISLE OF DREAMS. Shetland Sheepdog bitch, lovely feminine head and sweet expression from dark eyes, good forechest and hindquarter angulation, fine yet strong bone and good feet.

3. Jopson’s NITHVIEW EYRIE. Rough Collie bitch.

AVNSC PASTORAL OPEN (1)

1. Kenmare’s WINDGUNNS RIO GRANDE. German Shepherd Dog, very appealing bitch, beautifully made, feminine, not overdone in any way. A very well shaped head with an intelligent eye, very good neck and forechest, exemplary angles all through, able to stand freely and impressively, very well balanced and without exaggeration. Another who found the ring too small to show her true capability on the move, but so straight and true coming and going. An absolute credit to her breed, absolutely loved her and my toughest decision choosing between her and the young OES.
