My many thanks to the Officers and Committee for the invitation to judge my first Newfoundland appointment at their well-run Open show. I had very pleasant day with great atmosphere, well organised and a great ring Steward.

1st Cannings & Rennison Oukaya Forever Big Dipper (Imp Fra)

8 month old landseer male very much still developing as one would expect from a very nice male puppy. Presented in good coat & super clean condition and when roughed the wrong way falls right back into place. Undercoat thick and soft. Correct bite and of good width, nice length of muzzle, head of correct proportions. Eyes wonderful and dark with no signs of haw or looseness. Good width of skull for one so young giving him a lovely expression. Good length and thickness to neck leading into well laid shoulders. Forelegs sitting well under the shoulder and straight when viewed. Good angulation both front and rear and a good depth to chest. Body of good substance and leading into lovely nice width of rear with a good placement of tail set, tail of good length. very well developing first and second thigh. Moved with the roll one would expect to see while also demonstrating a nice easy extension of both the front and rear combined with a good amount of drive. Topline a little bum high when presented & on the move but I would expect no less from a growing young male. I was very happy to award him BP & BOB
