Not a big entry and unfortunately it was rather marred by absentees. However, there were some top quality American Cockers here today and I thoroughly enjoyed judging the breed. Sincere thanks to Wendy and Jonathan Urwin my stewards.

  Class 2503 MPD (2 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6126 JENNINGS, Mr D K & BEDDING, Miss H Alibama That's My Boy. Best Puppy. He’s a real eye catcher, beautifully balanced with a lovely head, dark soft eyes and good muzzle and jaw. Short, strong topline which he holds well on the move. Good rib and body for age. I gather he later won the day’s heat of the Eukanuba Puppy Stakes – congratulations.

2nd: 6137 SHEPPARD, Mrs V J & BRYANT, Mrs B Nasailleen Campinuf For Shadowview. A well-made, handsome masculine puppy. Not quite the confidence on the table of the buff puppy but he really pulls himself together on the move where his merry temperament was apparent. Good head with some chiselling, clean neck and shoulders. Good bone and ribbing.
