Breed: Italian Spinone

Manchester Italian Spinone’s

Thank you for being such sporting exhibitors , we did have to wait a while to get in the ring but timings all went well. A huge thank you to my stewards Jean and Joyce both keeping the ring flowing at all times. I did come across a few indifferent bites but in the main I felt the quality was good and thank you for a good quality entry especially as it was Friday. To keep dogs clean in the winter and one that’s been so wet I applaud you all. Thank you once again.

Class 1001 SBD (3 Entries) Abs: 1

Both dogs presented a good overall impression and great conformation, one exhibit carried its tail very high, one wasn’t as together as the other. Many of my comments on both are so similar well-built good conformation presenting a really good overall outline. Both well-handled and presented very well. Good luck for the future with both of them.

1st: 2669 REAY, Mrs Christine Drurylow Sage, delighted to award him Best special Beginners, and wish his handler all the very best for the future and well done.

Class 1006 LD (5 Entries) Abs: 2

1st: 2622 BEECHAM, Miss Donna & SHARP, Mr Lee Affilato Jump With Style At Rydonmist, this exhibit was giving his handler a very hard time of it today. Once together he stood away in order to win the class, At almost 2 years of age he has so much more to come and will trouble the best. I loved his well-balanced head and expression, strong neck and the best of shoulders, great body proportions. He moved with easy covering the ground well. Sadly in the challenge he frustratingly wasn’t allowing his handler to get the best from him.

2nd: 2631 COLLETT, Mr I Stagerun Matteo, lots to like about this dog especially is overall conformation , however when on the move in my opinion he just needed a little more enthusiasm.

3rd: 2637 GILES, Miss K Fiducia Cho Oyu At Miavita

Fabulous class of quality bitches.
