Best AVNSC Gundog Puppy. 2nd Wynne-Evans’ Droveborough One Love, English Setter. This blue belton girl has a lot to like about her. I felt she lacked the maturity of my winner, and her front and rear were all over the place at the moment. At only 10 months old, she justs needs to mature and tighten up throughout.

He is of a nice style and type, and he seemed to enjoy his day out. I would have liked to have seen a little less haw around the eye and his feet were not his fortune. It is always nice to watch a dog and his owner in unison though. 3rd Appleton’s Valentismo’s De Cascada, Spanish Water Dog. AV Imported Breed Register Gundog Puppy (0,0) Open (1,0) 1st Sladden’s Khyannes Villette at Canemamans ShCEx (Imp Hun), Braque D’Auvergne, b/w girl of super type. I fell in loved with this one.

Open (1,0) 1st Thomas’ Chartan Maple Mayhem a very masculine boy who wasn’t quite on par as my Yearling winner.

He has a good length of neck, which is strong and he has a good shoulder placement. Mature in body for his age, he has a strong topline, which he held well on the move.
