LAGOTTO ROMAGNOLO

SBD (1) 1 Webb and Ferguson Tigre Di Casa Ghini 17mth brown/white with a super outgoing temperament and presented in a good coat of woolly texture, good head shape and high set ears, straight forelegs but feet turn out ever so slightly, compact enough in body with depth to chest and a level topline, moved out soundly once he got into his stride

PD (1) 1 Cuddy Cuddy and Norbury Bedeslea Prada Paradoxe an 11mths brown roan with a proportionate head having a moderate width of skull, slight stop and enough width and depth to muzzle, he has a good front with straight forelegs and compact feet, currently looking a fraction long in body but no compromise in topline, moved well enough.

JD (4,1) 1 Thomas and Thomas Arcticbreeze On The Double this 13 mth brown roan has the most super head and expression with medium size round eye and high set well used ears, he has a good body shape and length of leg, forelegs are straight and strong to neat compact feet but pasterns could be a little firmer, he is nicely angulated in the rear and moved effortlessly around the ring 2 Tigre Di Casa Ghini (see SBD) 3 Bedeslea Prada Paradoxe

LD 1 and RBD Willotts Arcticbreeze On Vacation 2 yr old brown roan with a lovely well proportioned head and large round eye giving an intelligent expression, he stands on straight strong forelegs with tidy elbows, firm in topline with a tidy underline and whilst I would have liked a little more length of leg, his effortless and smooth movement carried him to the RBD award 2 Hamlyns Bransbubble High Ned 4 yr brown roan carrying an impressive profuse coat of woolly texture, looking slightly heavier than the winner but hands on tells he has a decent length of leg, he has a proportionate head with clean round eye and strong muzzle, short strong neck, ample angulation in the fore with more behind, tends to roach his topline a little on the move and not displaying the drive of the winner

OD (4,3) 1 and BD, BOB Taylor’s Arcticbreeze Jackpot 3 yr brown roan with a masculine head, good width of skull and strong muzzle, muscular neck into moderate shoulders and standing on straight forelegs and slightly sloping pasterns to good feet, compact in body with deep chest, firm level topline, well muscled croup and hindquarters,, presented in good curly coat of the correct texture. Moved out freely with plenty of drive. I thought he was a very nice example who displayed many of the attributes the breed calls for.

PB (2) Two very promising puppies 1 and BP Norbury Atkins and Fry Bedeslea Pradasphere a beautiful 11mth brown roan with a very attractive head, good eye and well set well used ears, square in outline with a good length of leg, well sprung ribs and a level topline, a smooth and easy mover who is very together for her age. Presented in a quality coat of good texture, pleased to hear she won the puppy stakes later in the day congratulation ! 2 Roberts and Roberts Byphar Havana Club 7mth brown/white, another lovely specimen who also makes a pleasing picture on the stack, well proportioned head with clean eye giving an intelligent expression strong clean neck but not quite the spring of ribs of the winner at this stage. Curls just a little loose but moving out freely and confidently.

LB (2) 1 Lillicraps Mizani Sebio Iola, I really liked the head and keen but friendly expression on this 5 yr brown, she has a clean slightly arched neck into good shoulders, perhaps a fraction long in body but with a good front and well fitting elbows, deep chest, firm backline and slight tuck up, excellent profile movement showing good reach and drive but a tad close behind on the away, much to appreciate here 2 Piper and Pipers Solipse L’amore Vero At Heidsieck (imp sk) 17 mth orange with an attractive head, well set ears and large eye giving an alert and intelligent expression, short neck with moderate lay of shoulder, her front could be better as she is a tad weak in pasterns and although sound on the move she tends to roach her topline slightly and so loses her shape.

OB (2) 1and BB Roberts and Roberts Havana King Of The Truffles At Byphar (imp Serb) a beautiful 3 yr brown who is as pretty as a picture on the stack, she makes a pleasing outline being almost square in body and with a good length of leg, she has a feminine well proportioned head with almost round eye, intelligent expression and good open nostrils, short slightly arched neck into good shoulders, chest is deep and topline firm and level, so sound on the move covering the ground freely and easily 2 Hellers Arcticbreeze Hopscotsch To Floreydown a 3.5 yr brown roan with an attractive well proportioned head and clean eye giving an intelligent expression, not quite the balance of leg length to body of the winner but she has a good depth of chest, excellent topline and slightly sloping croup to well set tail. Moved very well on the initial go round but then got spooked by something and despite several opportunities she just wouldn’t settle on the move, such a shame as she has lots to like

VB (1) 1 BV and RBB Morts Radiva Baby Oh Cherrie At Arcticbreeze (imp SRB) a 7yr brown and white b who was handled very well by her somewhat novice handler, she has a very nice outline with a good length of leg, feminine head with moderate stop and well placed eyes and stands on straight strong forelegs and slightly sloping pasterns, she was moved at just the right pace to show off her accurate and easy movement.
