PUPPY DOG

1st GLENBROWS GALANTHUS

A very impressive black & white youngster with a lovely outline, presenting a cobby, well balanced shape typical of the breed. Head with correct bite and a pleasing, dark eye giving a gentle, intelligent expression. He has good reach of neck flowing cleanly into a well laid shoulder with correct return of upper arm. Well sprung ribs and well ribbed back contribute to his compact, balanced body, and he holds a correct topline both standing and on the move. Strong, correctly constructed rear quarters allow him to move out with purpose, drive, and freedom. Lovely tight, well padded feet complete the picture. Awarded BOB and BPIB, and I was delighted to see him go on to take Best Puppy in Show.

POST GRADUATE DOG

1st GLANTRAETH SEREN LIBANUS WITH SUNABIL

A quality blue roan dog with a pleasing outline and a particularly lovely head, enhanced by a dark, expressive eye. He has a good reach of neck leading into a well laid shoulder, with an upper arm of fair length. Well ribbed back, giving him a balanced body. He is complemented by a strong, well made rear offering good width and muscle, which he uses to advantage on the move. Presents a happy, outgoing temperament, perfectly reflecting the breed’s merry nature.

PUPPY BITCH

1st GLENBROWS BLUE FORTUNE

A truly eye catching blue roan bitch who screams breed type. Feminine yet cobby, with a beautiful dark eye and correct bite giving a soft, classic Cocker expression. She has a good reach of neck flowing into a well laid shoulder with correct return of upper arm. Well ribbed back with well sprung ribs and a short, strong loin contributing to her balanced, compact outline. She carries a lovely topline, both standing and on the move, and is finished with neat, well-padded feet. A very typy and well constructed bitch.

2nd CRINCOED HIGHER LOVE

A pretty, feminine bitch with a lovely head, dark expressive eye, and correct bite. She is longer on leg and in cast than the first, giving a different overall balance. She does not yet have the reach of neck, shoulder placement, or return of upper arm of the winner, but these are areas that can develop with maturity and conditioning. She moved out well around the ring and showed a lovely, outgoing temperament, clearly enjoying her time showing lots of promise.

JUNIOR BITCH

1st MANLINSON DOTTY DOT

A feminine youngster with a pleasing dark eye and correct bite. She has a good reach of neck, and her shoulder and return of upper arm are acceptable at this stage of her development. Longer in cast, but she is well ribbed back, giving her a balanced outline on the move. Her rear assembly is still developing, and with time and maturity she should strengthen behind. Finished with neat, tight feet. A promising young bitch who shows potential going forward.

POST GRADUATE BITCH

1st MANLINSON HAPPY TOGETHER

A mature blue roan bitch with a pleasing head, correct bite, and a dark, kind eye. She has a fair reach of neck with a shoulder that fits neatly into her outline. I would like a little more length and return of upper arm, but she is well sprung in rib and just a touch long in cast. She moves out in a steady, easy manner, keeping her shape on the go-around. A dependable, honest girl who presents herself well.
