What a fantastic class, unfortunately I didn’t have enough cards to go round.

Well muscled neck into good shoulders, straight front, good feet, strong topline which he held on the move, good depth, well angulated and muscled rear which he used to his advantage when powering around the ring. Delighted to see him win the Gundog Group.

2nd : 6467 - PHILLIPS, Mr L, - Sh Ch Rivertone Retrograde – RCC – Different type to the winner but a very worthy Sh Ch. Lovely head and expression, clean neck into good shoulders, good depth to chest and well ribbed back, well angulated and muscled rear quarters, good legs and feet in super hard condition. He was not as positive on the move in the class but got it together when called back in for the RCC.

3rd: 6437 - CHARLISH, Miss Ellen – Sh Ch Gunalt The Hangover JW – A worthy champion, so felt he needed to be mentioned. A credit to his handler. Im sure these 3 dogs will change places on many occasions.

2nd: 6461- MCMAHON, Mrs Patricia & MCMAHON, Mr Anthony - Ir Sh Ch Silverkelvin Jupiter Over Magdala VW CW22 – good head and eye, good muscle tone, for me he was a touch wide in front, and moved a little wide going away.

This was a fantastic class of bitches to have the pleasure of judging

1st: 6466 – PAVEY, Mr J Evans & Mr P – Rivertone Inevitable At Joneva – CC - Only 2 years old and still has a way to go but what a promising bitch. She was in excellent condition from the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail. She is so feminine in head and body but so well muscled and this showed on her effortless movement around the ring. I had no hesitation in awarding her the CC and was then informed that this was her crown. I’m sure there are more to come. Thank you for bringing her.

2nd: 6473 – ROWBURY, Ms Sandra & TRANQUADA, Ms Daniela – Rivertone Confetti over Stormdancer – RCC litter sister to No 1. Just slightly longer cast than her sister but the same remarks apply. I am sure that these 2 will change places on numerous occasions and I am sure that her title is just around the corner.

3rd: 6439 – CROWTHER, Mr D J – Hundwith Step In Thyme

Class 2642 OB (4 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6481- WEST, Mrs Joanne & WEST, Mr Campbell - Sh Ch Gunalt Wavelength JW ShCEx OSW – A worthy champion who was unlucky to come up against the limit bitches today. Lovely head and expression, well muscled neck into clean shoulders, topline and hindquarters were strong, good depth of rib, well off for bone without losing her femininity.

2nd: 6474 - SAYER & WALLWORK, Mr & Miss M A & D L - Braefell Bumblebee – Well made bitch with clean neck, good shoulders. Good spring of rib and well muscled loin and quarters which showed in her movement.
