21st April 2025

Thank you to the committee for the invitation to judge Gordon Setters when the originally judge unfortunately had to withdraw, I very much enjoy judging in Cornwall, super dogs and the exhibitors always seem to be very supportive of each other. Many thanks for my gift of Cornwall goodies. Very much appreciated. Thank you to Sue for stewarding and keeping the ring moving .

Gordon Setters

Class Puppy (4)

1st Hollamby Kewstoke Making Waves , all litter mates, sharing similar properties, I like the overall stylish outline of this bitch, pretty in head, good stop and dark eye, ample reach of neck and well ribbed back, strong in loin and long from hip to hock and short rear pasterns. She was just a little rangier than 1st and tended to rush a little on move but showed good front reach I am sure the litter mates will change places many times. presented in good coat condition.

2nd Smith, Kewstoke Sea Queen Zena, she was a little more together than her sister she also stacked well presenting balanced outline, feminine head with good stop , kind expression. She was moderate in rear angulation. She moved steady and true around the ring. Good colour and coat texture.
