Breed: Retriever (Golden)
Puppy (3,0) 1. Whitby’s Crisansa Cerridwen At just 6 months old, this well-schooled baby girl didn’t really put a foot wrong today. So well balanced for her age with good bone and angulation throughout. Lovely head and expression with pleasing proportions and nice well-placed dark eyes. In good coat and condition, she moved steadily & soundly, using her tail well and standing on very smart feet. Best Puppy and Reserve Best of Breed 2.Hughes’ Crisansa Cool Millions A nicely put together young dog, who I see is litter brother to the winner. This baby boy just needed some ring presence and a bit more confidence on the move, but he was a lovely shape overall and certainly had a pleasing head and expression. 3. Gowland & Gibbons’ Abinvale Bona Fide Remington (AI) Junior (no entries) Post-Graduate (3,2) 1.Liggins & Hodges’ Swanavly Popsy’s Legacy at Nunsbrook (IMP SRB) Stood alone in this class, this exhibit was nicely presented and in fine coat and condition. He had a good chest depth to leg length ratio and a lovely dark eye. Moved steadily and at one with his handler, he carried his tail well, however, was a little down on his pasterns and perhaps could be a little tidier in rear action. Open (5,2) 1. Liggins & Hodges’ Silver Passion Glam Fashion at Nunsbrook JW (IMP DEU) At just over 4 years old, found this male to be well balanced in outline, strong topline and good bone and substance throughout. Good proportions to his masculine head and expression, correctly set ears and dark eyes. He moved steadily, but perhaps a little down on pasterns. He was presented in nice coat and condition and had pleasing front and rear angulation with a reasonable length of loin behind the ribs. Good set on of tail which he used well on the move. Best of Breed. 2. Burrows’ Dilworthey Secret Santa Another male at just over 4 years with nice shape and balance overall & was presented in good coat and condition. Preferred the movement of 1 today. 3.Goddard’s Soneve Stargazer at Glansevern VW
