I’d like to thank the hard working committing of this well run show for my invitation to judge for them today. Also to my two very well organised stewards. It was a tad warm to say the least and I think this did affect some dogs, but in general most coped really well. I would like to say that I had some lovely puppies presented in all breeds and in the AV class that I judged, I was impressed with their quality, and I am sure they will be a great influence to their respective breeds in future.

Gordon Setter

Puppy 1

1st Sweryda - Waseley Hazy Dayz

I was impressed with this young bitch, at just 7 months she is developing well, her feminine head is of correct proportions, with good reach of neck and the best of toplines which she held on the move. She has good depth and forchest for her age, with lovely bone, her front is straight and she has good angles at both ends. She moved out really well, was true both coming and going and with good reach and drive. BP & RBOB

Spaniel Welsh

Puppy 3 (1)

Two lovely puppies from this litter, and I had a hard time placing them.

1st Harrison – Glenbrows Time Will Tell

Lovely head on this quality puppy bitch of 8 months. She is balanced and well proportioned all though, there is just a touch more of her than her sibling in two and that in the end was the decider. She is well bodied for her age with good depth, well off for bone and neat feet. Her movement was a little erratic to start with but she settled enough for me to see that she was sound and with good reach drive.

2nd Harrison – Glenbrows Timeless

Litter sister to 1, with the most gorgeous head and expression she is so feminine, with a balanced outline and the best of fronts, in this she was preferred to her sibling in one. She has good body proportions with a level topline that she held on the move and she moved well.

Yearling 2 (1)

1st Smith – Nyliram Hold my hand at Isfryn

17 months bitch with a pretty head that is balanced with lovely dark eye. She has a good length of neck, her topline could be firmer, she has decent depth of chest, and good bone, I’d prefer a touch more length of leg to balance. She moved well.

Graduate 4 (1)

1st Harrison Glenbrows Turn Back Time

Cracking puppy of 8 months from the same litter as the two bitches in the puppy class. To have one good one from a litter is great, but to have 3, well, that’s something else. His head is masculine and balanced, he has lovely strength all through and he is well matured for his age. His strong neck leads into his well developed body which is deep with well sprung rigs. His topline is firm with strength through the loin, his rear quarters are muscular, he is well off for bone. He gave his handler a hard time on the move, but once settled he moved well, and by the time he was in the BIS ring – he excelled in movement with power reach and drive, happy to award him BOB BP and to see him short listed in the group and then to take PG4 I shall look forward to watching his progress.

2nd Harrison – Glenbrows Timeless

2nd Tew – Pamicks Dream With Me

Sweet three years bitch, head is balanced, with dark eye, good length to neck, leading to level topline, good depth to brisket, but I would have liked a little more forchest, she has well developed quarters and good bend of stifle. She moved ok.
