Spaniel (English Springer)

PD/B (1) Keeley’s Alhamian’s Sally Traffic, Keely's Alhambian's Sally Traffic. 10-month tri-colour bitch. Feminine and well-balanced. Nice head with correct dark hazel eye and bite. Level topline, well-matched angulation fore and aft. Moved out well with typical free front extension and good drive. Fully understandably a bit loose at this tender age, but highly promising. Best Puppy. 

SY D/B (3,1abs) 1. Weyman’s Spuffing Bellini JW, 1st. Weyman’s Spuffing Bellini JW. A beautifully balanced, feminine liver and white bitch of lovely shape and size. Oozes style. Quality head with correct eye and sound bite. Possesses a good length of neck flowing into excellent shoulder placement and return of upper arm. Held a level topline well standing and on the move. Good depth of chest with excellent spring and length of rib cage, finishing with a well-set tail. Moved out with true Springer front extension, showcasing a lovely free and easy gait. A really promising youngster I was glad to award RBOB.

2. Briggs’ Dexbenella Believin A Dream. A heavier type of bitch but of a nice shape overall. Gorgeous head with correct eye, bite, and well-set ears. Up against the winner she lacked the clean front placement, and she was somewhat rounded over the croup, which affected her topline. Consequently, she was not quite as sound on the move today as the first-place winner.

L D/B (3, 1 abs) 1st. Unwin’s Allenies Lady Marmalade. A liver and white bitch of heavier substance but maintaining a nice outline. Good head, correct eye, and a sound bite. Clean neck leading into well-laid shoulders and complementary upper arm. Possesses great width and depth of body throughout. Held a level topline. Showed well-balanced angulation, moving soundly from the shoulder with strong drive from the rear.

2nd. Proctor’s Forgespring Nobody’s Fool At Blissenbea JW. A lovely black and white bitch whose overall shape and balance I really admired. Pleasing head and eye, complemented by a good length of neck. Possesses well-balanced front and rear angulation alongside a firm, correct topline. Just failed to settle as well as the winner on the move today, which cost her the class.

O D/B (4) 1. Weyman’s More Than Amazing Wanna Be A Gangster At Spuffing JW (Imp Bel). A masculine 4-year-old liver and white dog whose shape, size, and overall balance I absolutely loved. Elegant yet strong masculine head with excellent eye colour and shape, and a deep, powerful jaw with a correct bite. He possesses well-balanced front and rear angulation, showcasing lovely shoulder placement, and return of upper arm, and cleanly tucked elbows. Deep chest with great spring of rib, well ribbed back into a strong loin. Standing on tight feet with a strong second thigh. Maintained a level topline with a correct tail set and carriage. Beautifully presented, he moved out effortlessly from the shoulder with a remarkably free and easy gait. Delighted to award him BOB.

2. Keely’s Khaleesi De Les Tres Llacunes With Alhambian (Imp ESP). A smaller, compact, and feminine liver and white bitch of nice shape and balance. Pleasing head with a well-shaped hazel eye and a correct bite. Good front with desirable depth of chest and spring of rib. Held a level topline leading to a well-set tail. Moved out soundly and well. A lovely exhibit, I just preferred the overall style of my winner today. 3. Proctor’s Patronella Perfick Bliss At Blissenbea.
