Gundog Society Of Wales

PGD (1): 1 RBD Robson’s Glenquin Major at Yohenoak, upstanding b/w male of 2 years in lovely muscled condition. Appeals in outline with a super firm topline, kind eye, strong bone through the forearms but could have a better return of upperarm, taut underline, good rear angulation & good coat. Really powerful stride in profile – tail carriage is a little distracting but he is a quality boy with a lovely temperament.

Champion Dog (1): 1 BD McCullough’s Sh Ch Kimmax Kiss Ma Blackside at Beechillawn, mature b/w male of 5 years. Good head, beard & eyebrows, balanced body proportions , brisket down to elbow, clean neck into well laid shoulders, good turn of stifle, really muscled quarters with good width of second thigh, hocks vertical to the ground. He does a lovely free stack with a strong topline. Parallel movement coming & going.

JB (1): 1 Pickering’s Bora Dreams of Little Prince, l/w bitch of 17 months, quite raw at present but when standing has a good strong topline. Ribs extend well back, correct rear angles with well-muscled quarters & stands on well arched feet. Her elbows could be tighter to the chest wall & her coat could be harsher to the touch.

LB (1): 1 RBB Stamp & Thomas’ Tynsil Just One Smile, liver bitch coming up 4 years, looks really lovely stacked with good body proportions & bone, excellent topline & balanced angles fore & aft. Appeals in head, brisket down to elbow, ribs extend well back, good turn of stifle & hocks vertical to the ground. Has a good harsh jacket. She moved with another handler so went off guns blazing, but once steady she really moved with excellent drive in the rear.

Champion Bitch (1): 1 BB & BOB McCullough’s Sh Ch Kimmax Kindly Stand Black, b/w bitch of 5 years, litter sister to BD. Stands out both standing & moving, good body proportions, good bone through the forearms – strong but feminine, brisket down to elbow, ribs extend well back, taut loin, super topline, coat of good texture, handled well. Appealed in movement, keeping her outline & scoring over her brother on drive & length of stride.
