AVNSC Gundog

Puppy

1.Jenning’s Alibama Gossip Girl

Beautiful young lady, just 9 months, well developed rounded head with defined stop with good chiselling, ears well set and correct length. Strong muscular neck, correct front assembly and short body, good depth for age, ribs need to broaden but that will come with age.Her rear quarters are her strongest point, parallel on the stand and whilst moving, her movement was effortless, covered the ground beautifully. Well handled. Best Puppy and group 2 certainly one to watch.

2.Braine’s Chilternway Allium

Really loved this young guy, he made me smile, what a character. Beautiful head and expression, long well muscled neck into well placed shoulders, correct return, straight legs and stands on good feet. His topline is on point, with a slight slope to his croup, well developed chest for age and correct body depth, his rear is powerful well muscled and moderate, he was just rather silly on the move today which cost him the class.

3.Ward, Harrisons and Harrison’s GlenbrowsBlush at Tantaraviz

Special Yearling

1.Matthew’s Sonham Just the Ticket (AI)

What a super example of the breed this young chap is, he really caught my eye when he came in the ring. He is up to size for me but beautifully balanced, gorgeous head and expression, well off for bone, straight legs and the best of feet. Good front construction, shoulders well back, good body depth for age, his rear still needs to let down, but that will come with age, he won the class on his clean ground covering side profile movement. Res Best Avnsc

3.Beresford’s Stand on Ceremony JW

And heaven she is, well muscled, balanced, feminine and beautifully presented. Lovely head and expression, correct eye shape and colour, strong arched neck and well placed shoulder, straight well boned legs and the best of feet. Deep well sprung chest, strong topline and correct length of loin, her rear quarters are strong, which she used well on the move, covering the ground effortlessly. Best Avnsc and Group 2, loved her will watch with interest.

1,Dummett and Vikhrova’s Nova Story Boogie Woogie JW

Nice looking chap, correct chiselling in head, lovely expression and correct muzzle depth, ears well placed, strong neck into well placed shoulders. He is balanced from all angled and moved well, presented in full coat and handled well, just lost his sparkle in the challenge.

2.Taylor and Taylor-Norris Pelenrise All Guns Blazing JW

All male, handsome chap, with a regal kind expression. Very balanced, strong neck, straight legs and beautiful feet, to be picky I would like his shoulders further back. Deep body, well sprung ribs, deep chest and short square loin and strong well muscled rear quarters, moved well.

Special Yearling

1.Boughton’s Gameglow Back to Black

This young lady was in super fit condition, presented and handled well, beautiful head and expression, needs to drop in body but at 20 months this will come with time. Lovely straight legs, good feet and very balanced, would like more width of second thigh to finish the picture, won the class on her clean ground covering movement. Res Best Import

2.Walker’s Lindensgriff Summer Star to Baikel

Robust looking girl, lovely head and expression with plenty of furnishings, well set ears, strong neck and nice straight legs and good feet. Correct depth of body for age, good width of loin, personally I feel she needs to drop in her rear, which showed in her movement today.

Post Graduate

1.Stilgoe’s Teisgol Henrique

This boy stole my heart, what a charmer and an absolute professional with a hint of humour. Masculine head, good fill in under the eye and well defined stop. Strong neck, shoulders well placed back and excellent front construction, deep chest, well sprung rib, short body and sloping correctly to croup. Super rear quarters that he used to power around the ring. Best Import Register

2.Broughton’s Parkbalk Ariel Dianell Avec Brwynstep

Lovely girl, nicely balanced, up to size for me but still has a typical outline, nice head and expression, good depth of chest, ribs well sprung and moderate rear quarters, lost out today due to her movement, she was intent on pulling to the left which made her movement hard to assess.

Open

1.Stilgoe’s Ir Sh Ch Perdizcyo Beatriz with Tiesgol BJW18 JWW18

Really liked this girl, I dont think anyone has told her shes 8 years old, presenting a balanced outline and well handled. Good head and expression, well defined stop, strong brisket, deep chest and ribs well sprung, short loin, good colour and well muscled quarters. Was a little messy behind today which cost her.

A V Gundog Veteran

1.SH CH Int and Multi Ch Arnac Bay Hebe WGC ShCex EW22 WW24

I have to say what an honour it was to judge this girl, shes always been one of my favourites and she didnt disappoint when I got my hands on her. Her head and expression is beautiful, eyes correct shape and set wide apart, strong neck into well laid back shoulders, deep chest and ribs well sprung, her rear quarters where moderate and hocks well let down, she was the fittest dog I judged all day which showed in her ground covering movement.

2. Sewel’s Wintonia Hidden Gem at Quattrozampe VW

This little lady caught my eye as soon as she came in the ring, feminine, pretty and balanced.Skull well developed and chiselled, bright dark, well shaped eyes, strong neck, excellent front construction, deep chest with well sprung ribs.Compact in body, short square loin, good tail set and well angled quarters, she moved with drive with a typical merry cocker attitude.
