Golden Retrievers

Puppy 3(0,A)

1.Nelson’s Cadwst Song of Spring A beautifully presented, well balanced, light gold bitch puppy of 11 months in lovely coat and muscular condition. She has a pretty feminine head of correct proportions with dark eyes and jet black pigmentation. A good straight front and tight feet. Her neck flows onto well laidback shoulders and she has a level topline and tailset. Her elbows tuck neatly into her chest and she has well sprung ribs and is short coupled. Her angulations fore and aft are symmetrical with good turn of stifles and well let down hocks. She moved with reach and drive. BPIB, BOB and PG3

2.Trotter’s Baricia Tooty Fruity A pale cream bitch puppy still very much a baby of 6 months with lots to like who was enjoying herself and kept her handler on her toes at times. She has a gorgeous head and expression with dark eyes and super pigment. Her front is straight and she is well off for bone. She has a lovely reach of neck onto well laid back shoulders and equal length of shoulder to upper arm. Her ribs are well sprung and she is short coupled. She’s going through a little bum high stage of development at the moment and being so young not quite as together as 1 on the move. Lots to like though and should come together nicely as she matures. RBOB

Junior 2(1,A)

1.Evan’s Mardargold Razzle Dazzle Third in Puppy and on her own in this class. A light gold bitch puppy of 11 months. My notes say a neat package with such a pretty feminine head and cheeky expression. She certainly was a monkey on the move in the previous class! However having worked off some steam she allowed me to see her nicely balanced frame. She has a good straight front, tight elbows, a good reach of neck onto a level topline and tailset. This time managing to hold everything together so much better on the move.

Graduate 2(0,A)

1.Evan’s Mardargold the Look of Love Three year old mid gold bitch presented in gleaming coat and muscular condition. She has a such an appealing feminine head and expression with dark eyes and good pigmentation. I really liked her neat well balanced frame with symmetrical angulations making her so easy on the eye on the stance. Her front is straight and her feet are tight. She has a clean neck onto well laid shoulders onto a level topline and tailset. Would have preferred her rear movement to be tidier as the uneven ground seemed to bother her.

2.Nelson’s Cadwst Autumnal Magic A three year old pretty pale cream bitch who has a gorgeous feminine head and soft expression with dark eyes and good pigmentation. Her front is straight with neat feet. She has such a lovely reach of neck onto well laid back shoulders and good return of upper arm. Her elbows tuck tightly into her chest and she has well sprung ribs and is short coupled. She moved with plenty reach and drive at one with her handler. I just proffered the topline of 1.
