Clumber Spaniel

Open (2)

1st Taylors SHCH Mischievous Maeve with Maursett. Both dogs were a credit to the breed and it was a fine line between them. I just felt for their comparative size this girl carried the right amount of weight. Quality head with a bright well shaped eye, square muzzle and broad skull. Powerful neck flowing nicely into laid back shoulders, plenty of forechest and deep well sprung rib. Excellent bone and substance without being overdone. Strong and powerful on the move. BOB

2nd Newshams Anbrook Burma Star at Brazenhill ShCM JW

Sussex Spaniel

Junior (2)

1st Hastings Yorkham Yule Love It at Bardings. Showed a typey outline, really pleasing in head with a good width of skull the correct amount of stop and a balanced foreface, eye of the correct colour and shape. Good length of neck into well laid shoulders, plenty of depth of chest, for me she is a little long in coupling, broad thighs gave a strong rear action covering plenty of ground.

Puppy (1)

1st Davies & Margerisons Kandrelli Jack Snipe. Eye catching young dog of good size and build. Masculine balanced head with plenty of brain room, bright eyed with a very alert expression. Flowing outline with nice amount of angulation front and rear and a pleasing amount of bone. He struggled to get going in the limited space but when he settled he was very true.
