BRACCO ITALIANO

I really enjoyed judging this lovely breed and was delighted at the quality of the entry. Thank you for supporting me. A big thank you also to my great stewards for keeping the ring running smoothly.

VD (2) 1 and BD, BVIB Bells Tolriver Enzo at Owlspoint, a 7 year old chestnut dog with a clean square outline and feeling solid and fit under the hands, handsome well chiselled head with large eyes and deep muzzle, strong neck into withers and well placed shoulders, deep through the chest, well sprung ribs and broad muscular hindquarters and strong hocks producing good rear drive, interesting to learn afterwards I had awarded this boy a BPIS some 6 and ½ years ago so clearly he holds lots of appeal for me 2 Sladdens Tyrbechgyn Believe You Will at Canemamans JW ShCEx OSW VW this lad is an impressive mover displaying plenty of reach and drive, his head is well proportioned with slight stop and large eyes, shoulders are well laid and he has an excellent depth of chest with strong and muscular hindquarters. Unfortunately he just lacked a little body condition today but a nice specimen all the same.

PD (5) 1 and BPD, BPIB, PG3 Coghlans Bracchini's Absolute Drama, this smart chestnut d presents a very clean and quite striking outline although he is maybe just a fraction off square currently. I really liked his head shape and proportions and his soft but intelligent expression, he stands true in front on good oval bone and tight feet, he has the correct topline with slight rise over the loin and a good depth of chest, sound in rear construction with well angulated quarters and strong straight hocks, an impressive mover covering the ground easily and accurately and looking like he could go all day, I shall watch his progress with interest 2 Forbes and Sladdens Silvestre Pop Soda Pop at Canemamans another very nice youngster, smaller framed than the winner but at just 6 months he has time on his side, square in body with good oval bone and very good angles front and rear, needs to develop a little more spring of rib but he moves out well in profile with easy ground covering strides just not quite as together as the winner 3 Hazeltines Bracchini Burst Your Bubble for Corotine

JD (1) 1 Towns Braccorions Drama Dot Com 8mths old and currently little narrow all through and a touch longer than high, he has a lovely head and expression with low set ears and good depth to muzzle, moderate length of neck and standing true enough in front, he moves out well with a good length of stride carrying himself well and just needs to strengthen behind

PG (2) Fazenfield and Smiths Owlspoint Askin for Trouble, orange roan who was muscular and well developed all through, pleasing head with good planes and larges eye giving a soft expression, strong neck, good forechest and depth to chest with muscular thighs and a good bend of stifle with short strong hocks, powerful on the move carrying himself well around the ring 2 Fisher and Derretts Appassionata Belisario (Imp Usa) a little higher on the leg than the winner but with a pleasing head which is lean and proportionate and most definitely male, well boned with good feet and strong enough in pasterns, deep through the chest and well angulated in the rear, moved out soundly in profile but a little loose in front action

OD (7) This was a difficult class as I felt some of the exhibits were run far too fast which unbalanced them in the rear, my winner was sound and fluid with good drive and was moved at a pace to show this off 1 and RBD Sladdens Canemamans Primo Al Fine JW I liked this boy very much, particularly on the move where he covered the ground so easily with flowing strides, his head is masculine and well chiselled with good planes and large oval eyes, neck is strong and muscular and he is well developed in front, body is lithe and muscular with well sprung ribs and just off square, visible withers, correct topline and strong hindquarters making a pleasing image on the stack 2 Pipes and Groves Bushwacker Don Juan JW medium sized square dog with a very nice outline, proportionate head with large eye emitting a gentle expression and low set ears, strong slightly arched neck of moderate length, well boned and standing on decent feet, muscular well angulated hind quarters and holding his topline on the move, pushed hard for the class but not quite the drive of the winner today 3 Bells Whitgun Renegade Master at Owlspoint JW ShCEx OSW

PB (7) 1 and BPB Beechams Rydonmist Bringin It Back, a well grown and promising youngster but still quite raw however she was handled to advantage on the stack and on the move to bring the best out of her , she has a lean and feminine chiselled head, well placed shoulders and ample depth of chest for her age although she can still develop a little in forechest, strong broad hindquarters with well set tail carried correctly on the move as she strode out with confidence 2 Westwoods Callaiscroft Aurora Star at Hopewood, a well boned but not overdone girl with a lovely square outline, she has a gorgeous head and soft expression, neck is of moderate length and shoulders well placed and she stands true in front straight forelegs, she needs to strengthen up somewhat in the rear but she shows much promise as she covers the ground freely with an impressive sidegait 3 Sladdens Braccorion's Eye Candy at Canemaman

JB (4) 1 Sladdens Canemamans Final Blow a very attractive girl with a lovely lean head and nicely made all through, moderate length of neck into well laid shoulders with ample depth of chest and standing true in front on straight forelegs and slightly sloping pasterns. I liked her depth of body and the strength in her loin and she is well angulated in the rear producing particularly pleasing profile movement and covering the ground with a good length of stride, one with a bright future no doubt 2 Beechams Rydonmist Twistin My Melons a promising orange roan with a super head and large kind eye, strong neck of moderate length into withers and ample angulation at the shoulder, shapely topline with perceptible rise over the loin and slight tuck, long thighs and a good bend of stifle, she is a long striding girl but was moved too fast and as a result she was rather uncoordinated in the rear 3 Russells Bracchini’s Bit of Crumpet for Fraulynzway

PGB (4,1)1 and RBB Worgans Braccorion's Corrr Blimey a well proportioned girl standing on strong forelegs and good feet, pleasing head with correct ears and a strong neck, she could still develop a little more in front but she has depth to her chest and is firm in topline with a strong loin and muscular quarters, I really liked her on the move where she covered the ground freely with excellent reach and drive 2 Webbers Canemamans Two Faced of Trevoris 2 yr orange roan with a well proportioned head and good planes, deep muzzle and large eye, well developed in chest and forechest, slight tuck up and broad hindquarters, she covers the ground easily but just lost her topline on occasion 3 Titmarsh’s Valcor Don't Stop Me Now

OB (3,1) 1 and BB, BOB Hursts You Can Crown The Queen (Imp Hun) I understand this well constructed girl has recently gained her title and on seeing her move I can understand why! On the stack she is balanced and clean in outline with a lean well proportioned head, spongey nose and deep muzzle, neck is moderate in length and strong allowing for good head carriage and she is balanced in front and rear angulation with well sprung ribs and a strong topline leading to a broad muscular loin, she is exceptionally powerful on the move covering the ground freely and easily with plenty of drive and on todays performance I could not deny her BB and BOB 2 Fishers Bettina (Imp Ita) 3.5 yrs old and solid to go over with good muscletone throughout, very good neck and shoulders, good spring of rib and broad rear with strong hocks, topline could be a tad stronger, easy and true on the move displaying good driving action.
