Birmingham & District Gundog and Terrier Club Saturday 27th September 2025 GSP Puppy (1) 1st Brown and Filby’s Desjiem Rebel Rebel (AI). BP A really lovely puppy bitch of eight months, very feminine and pleasing to go over, with everything in the right place. I liked her proportions and typical silhouette. She has a clean-cut, well-proportioned head with a good balance between skull and muzzle. Her eye is soft and intelligent, giving a lovely expression. Clean, tapered neck flowing into well-laid shoulders. Straight front with round, tight feet. Firm, short back with a slight arch over the loin. Hips broad and well-developed, tail set and carried correctly. Sufficient bend of stifle with parallel hocks. She needs to gain a little more confidence, as she would not raise her tail on the move, but she moves out truly with correct footfall. Junior (1) 1st Samria’s Winterwell the Card Player (AI). A very well-grown dog, just over 12 months, showing good size and substance for his age. Head a touch strong in skull, but with a good muzzle; lips fall cleanly and vertically from his slightly prominent nose. Strong, well-set neck flowing into well-laid shoulders. Stands on strong legs with nice, tight feet. Deep chest, strong thighs, and well-bent stifles with strong, vertical hocks. Moved with a smooth, lithe gait, showing correct footfall with good reach and drive. Limit (4) 1st Angus’s Keigame Hearts Desire of Sparkenhoe (AI) JW Really liked her overall balance and proportions, stands four square, complemented by her relaxed and happy temperament. Pleasing head with correct skull and good strength in muzzle. Correct reach of neck flowing into well-laid shoulders and a good return of upper arm. Straight front with tight, spoon-shaped feet. Ribs deep and well sprung; firm, level back with a slight rise over the loin, falling away slightly to a correctly set tail. Strong quarters with well-bent stifles and well-developed thighs. Uses her quarters well on the move, showing smooth, forceful propulsion. Coat short and coarse to the touch. 2nd Peebles’ Seasham Too Much Heaven JW another very nice bitch who has many good breed points, but I preferred the over all balance and head of 1st, she has excellent muscular development and moves with tremendous drive. 3rd Tudor’s Orchidstar Memphis Gold at Brocador Res Key’s Orchidstar Time to Chime Open (2) 1st Brown & Filby’s Sh Ch Winterwell Thatlldo for Desjiem JW. BOB. Lovely quality bitch, so correct and well put together. Balanced and standing four-square, exhibiting no exaggeration — every point in harmony. At five years of age she is mature and finished, presenting a typical and well-balanced silhouette. I liked her head, which is balanced with correct proportions of skull and muzzle, and a pleasing eye giving an intelligent expression. Clean, tapered neck flowing into well-laid shoulders with a good return of upper arm. Straight front with slight slope to the pasterns and round, tight feet. Deep body with good spring of rib and strong loin; topline flows smoothly. Correct bend of stifle and deep, well-developed thighs with parallel hocks. Moved with an excellent, smooth gait. 2nd Whitehouse’s Kazanpaul Prawn Cracker AWB Res BOB An elegant bitch with a graceful outline who stands over plenty of ground.

Slight arch to the neck, well set into long, well-laid shoulders with good return of upper arm and correctly placed elbows. Forelegs straight with sufficient bone. Deep, well-sprung ribcage, slight arch over the loin and correctly set tail. Well-bent stifles, good deep thighs, and strong hocks. Moved out well with good reach and drive. Lagotto Romagnolo Puppy (2-1) 1st Whittick’s Allsong Jelly Bean Really liked this six-month-old dog puppy. He presents as an intelligent and affectionate youngster, showing attentiveness to his handler throughout. Displays a sturdy outline with a good, woolly coat. Masculine head with a broad skull. Strong, well-set neck leading into well-laid shoulders and a good return of upper arm. Straight forearms and vertical pasterns ending in compact, round feet. Topline could be a little stronger. Well-bent stifles with good depth of thigh and strong, upright hocks complete the picture. Post Grad (1) 1st Lightfoot’s Rajo Del Carpino Nero aAt just over two years of age, he still needs some time to fully mature. He carries a dense, woolly coat and is squarely built. Shows a wedge-shaped muzzle with a defined stop and round eyes, though his expression appears slightly startled. Good arch to the neck, straight front, tight, round feet. Topline is straight, falling slightly at the withers to a correctly set tail. Well-bent stifles, though the upper thigh is longer than the lower. Movement today was disappointing — he moved out poorly, appearing disjointed and crossing behind and weak in hock. Open (1) 1st Whittick’s Allsong Nuova Luna BOB A very appealing cream bitch with much to like. Happy and extroverted in temperament, with a dense, woolly coat. Presents a typical outline, standing square. Pleasing head with an alert, intelligent expression and correct proportions between skull and muzzle. Moderate neck flowing into well-laid shoulders with a good return of upper arm. Stands on well-boned, straight front legs with tight, neat feet.

Tends to move a little close behind, but shows correct footfall in profile with a smooth, free gait.
