Thank you to the committee for inviting me along to judge some classes as well as the Gundog group. I have to say I was spoilt for choice by the BOB winners sent through from the other judge and really enjoyed getting my hands on some really lovely dogs.

AV Gundog Import Register Open (3, 2abs)

1st Leitch’s Oljafi Angel’s Dream. A young Barbet with a beautiful appealing, broad head. What a happy girl she is! She is well off for bone with lovely straight legs and depth of chest. A good strong, short neck. She is well angulated in front with good upperarm. Her topline is level with correct, lower tail set. Accurate rear angulation and well let down hocks. Moved very well both straight and true.

English Springer Spaniel Graduate (1)

1st Stevenson’s Spuffing Daiquiri at Gaolachcara JW. This girl is full of character. She is very workmanlike to look at. She is friendly and happy with the most beautiful head. What a sweet expression! She has a lovely length of neck flowing onto her well laid shoulders. A smashing topline and well sprung ribs. She has straight legs, a good bend of stifle and completely balanced throughout. She moved very well when settled and with drive. BOB and delighted to award her Group 2.

English Springer Spaniel Open (2. 1abs)

Stevenson’s Peasblossom Brogan at Gaolachcara. He has a kind expression, and his neck is strong and of good length. He has well boned and straight legs and a deep chest.

I just preferred her overall package.
