Retriever (Golden)

Minor Puppy (5):

1. Johnson’s Moloko Braaly at Heidiamour, not quite 7 months, feminine bitch who looks pleasing for her age, pleasing head shape, dark brown eye, clean through neck and shoulders, adequately boned, short coupled body and well angulated hindquarters with good second thigh, moved soundly on a good stride, BP and PG4;

2. Marshall’s Avonbrook Feel The Love, another promising puppy of pleasing type and not dissimilar to 1, good bone, feet, topline and hindquarters, pleasingly sound mover, just carrying too much weight which made her roll on the move;

3. Martin’s Garline Reeva In Ribbons

Puppy (7):

1. M Braaly at Heidiamour

2. Macleod’s Garline Scarlet Ribbons, what a super extrovert temperament this one has, tail never stopped wagging, really liked her head, well coupled body with good rib, excellent topline and well boned, moved soundly, would benefit from losing a little weight and being in harder condition, looked a little stuffy through neck/shoulders;

3. A Feel The Love

Junior (5):

1. Pietrykowski’s It Takes Two Anarchia Box Wondertemple, reserve in last class, upstanding, well grown dog of 10 months, well balanced, good legs and feet, strong topline and moved soundly, would just prefer him shorter in loin and needs time for head to break;

2. Lowther’s Vera’s Mystery at Evenmint, this feminine bitch pushed hard, pleasing overall type, feminine head, good bone and feet, well sprung ribs and short loin, moved soundly, has a slight tendency to turn front feet out;

3. Copley’s Ashbyglen True Colours at Emmabe

Graduate (3):

1. Williams’ Lamhryn Star of the Sea, feminine quality bitch of 3 years, felt she stood out in this entry, most pleasing head with correct eye shape and length of muzzle, well made forequarters, correct bone and feet, good rib and short coupled, strong topline maintained on the move, well angulated hindquarters with good width of thigh and good tailset, moved true fore and aft and showed reach and drive in side profile where she maintained her most pleasing outline, shown, handled and presented to advantage, pleased to award her BOB;

2. Wright’s Palton Platino, scored in head over 3, has good bone and substance and was shown in super condition, would prefer better forequarters;

3. Robinson’s Baricia Bella D’Oro

Post Graduate (5):

1. Johnson’s Moloko Ow Do, although not in full coat, she doesn’t have a lot to hide, won by virtue of her typical outline, good neck, shoulders, front legs and feet, good topline, well coupled body and well angulated hindquarters, moves on a good stride, quality bitch;

2. Towers and Henderson’s Baricia Bella Divino, masculine dog of good type, excels in bone, body and ribs, super topline, carrying rather too much weight and lacked animation on the move;

3. Garline Guarding Lola

Limit (4):

1. Bell’s Hoaaloha Kealoha, very nice bitch who is well made and immediately presents a typical outline, liked her head and eye, well made in front and good body, rib and topline, moves on a good stride and is sound, albeit could be more positive behind;

2. Williams’ Auristela Lady Luck at Lamhryn, feminine bitch who is dam of BOB winner, feminine head free from coarseness, good bone, body and hindquarters, scored behind over 1 but preferred the neck/shoulders of 1;

Open (7):

1. Martin’s Garline Love So Deep, feminine bitch of 6.5 years, pleasing head and eye where she scored, excellent legs and feet, sound mover going with drive;
