GORDON SETTERS

Puppy (3, 2 abs) 1. Collins’ Kyuna Phoebe. Head of good proportions, strong, straight forelegs with correct bone, tight feet. Deep brisket, super spring of rib and ample turn of stifle. Pelvis tending towards sloping which gave a tail set lower than the standard requires. Moved O.K. Best Puppy.

Junior (4, 2 abs) 1. Collins’ Amscot Rebel With A Cause (AI) Typical, masculine head on strong, arched neck which flowed cleanly into well laid shoulders. Had the required flat croup and tail set. Presented a balanced picture and moved very well on an easy stride. In gleaming coal black coat with clear tan markings. Unfortunately he was underweight which cost him his place in the next class. 2. K. Phoebe

Post Graduate (4, 0 abs) 1. Reid’s Dunfionn Morar at Diersett. I liked this one very much. So very well balanced with fabulous bladed bone and abundant substance. Excellent croup and tail set, great width of stifle and moved effortlessly on super feet. Terrific tan markings. In the challenge her superior breed type and lashing tail took her to BOB. 2. A. Rebel w a C. 3. Thomas’ Graylacier Amber Destiny at Glynderys

Open (2, 0 abs) 1. Thomas’ Liric Remember Me at Glynderis. Good topline and well off for bone and spring of rib but would have liked more depth of brisket. Great pro-sternum. Moved well. Res BOB. 2. Collins’ Inkersall Glen Grant

LARGE MUNSTERLANDERS

Junior (2) 1. Dowden & Raggett’s Brockchime Snowdrop of Chontell. 2. Smith’s Fulaluv Aurora Over Yeldoaks. Both very good examples of the breed carrying typical heads with that lovely soft expression that tells you all about the wonderful nature of this breed. Preferred the depth of 1, particularly in back rib and she presented a strong topline with excellent width behind. Was maybe a fraction longer than I prefer. Moved very well with purpose and drive. Res Bob and Best Puppy.

Open (6, 1 abs) 1. Boden’s Sh Ch Tweedsmuir Beautiful Dream among Suelynda JW ShCM, Clumber Sp. Every now and again it is my absolute delight to come across an exhibit of such outstanding type and quality that it takes my breath away. Today this beautiful and aptly named bitch left me breathless and speechless. Having studied the standard at length and in depth beforehand I found myself looking at my exact interpretation of it. Not only does she possess all the requirements of the standard when stacked she moves on an easy and powerful stride and has the indefinable quality that only great dogs possess. It was my pleasure and privilege to judge her and award her Best AVNSC. My day was complete when she took Group and then Best In Show. 2.Reid’s Tattersett You’re Special at Diersett, English Setter Res Best AVNSC. 3. Gales’ Quajalosh Miss Attitude of Sabisabi, Am Cocker
