I would like the thank the committee for the invitation to judge. Both my stewards for the smooth running of the ring and the exhibitors for being accepting of my decisions.

Cocker Spaniels

Puppy

1st Harrison, Glenbrows Blue Sherbert 6 month blue roan male, all boy without being course, nice head with melting expressions, good neck leading into well placed shoulders, straight front, big ribs, short coupled, nice big bum, well angulated backend enabling him to drive round the ring.

2nd Mason's Leechbaby Hot Shoe Shuffle to Sandlauga 9 month blue roan bitch who was close up to 1 although older she wasn't as mature in body but this will come. She has a femine head, well placed shoulder and return of upper arm, short coupled, moved out merrily and with drive.

Junior

1st Bayliss Wilanorah We Will Rock You (JW) 16 Month blue roan male masculine head, gentle expression, good depth all though nice angulation front and back, short below hock , this boy knows how to drive around the ring, i would just like a little less hair left on his hocks. RBOB
