LABRADOR

P. (3,1).

1. Perkins Meadowline Nothing Matters By Keeninspires, 6 month and 1 day old yellow puppy bitch at her very first show. Through her exuberance I could see that she is balanced and well made throughout. She has a very feminine head developing well with defined stop and eyes of good shape and colour. She is compact with a good reach of neck set into well placed shoulders, has good depth to chest and spring of rib for one so young, a firm topline and correct tail carriage. A promising puppy shown in lovely coat and moved well once settled, BP.

2. Kent’s Trewinnard Cranachan, 8 month old yellow puppy bitch, very feminine with a pleasing head, with good eye shape, pigmentation and a kind gentle expression. Clean through neck, is deep in chest and has well-sprung ribs for age, is well off for bone, has round compact feet and strong rear quarters with correct turn of stifle. Another promising puppy in lovely coat but in my opinion just needs time to tighten up which showed in her movement on the day.

PG. (4,1)

1. Wallace’s Dreammake For Tiaja JW (IMP DNK), 3 year old yellow bitch of quality who is balanced throughout, is soundly constructed and of good proportions.

She has a strong neck leading into well laid back shoulders with a good return of upper arm, chest of good width, well sprung ribs, level topline, is short coupled and muscled throughout, has straight strongly boned forelegs set well under her body and with tight compact feet and good tailset. Shown in good coat and condition and moved straight and true covering plenty of ground which won her the class, BOB.

2. Hoban’s Meadowleigh Time To Dream JW, 2 year black bitch of lovely type and close up to class winner, has a very feminine head of quality with dark eye and melting expression. She is balanced throughout with a strong clean neck and good shoulder placement, is straight in front with elbows in, has depth to chest with good spring of rib, strong topline, good thick otter tail and with correct tailset to finish the picture. Well presented in lovely dense coat but not quite the free movement of 1st, RBOB.

O. (3,1)

1. Perkins Mcfarwin’s Grey Legacy By Keeninspires JW, 3 year old yellow dog displaying balance with good substance and coat of good texture and condition. He has a masculine head with strong muzzle of good length, dark eye, dark pigment and kind expression.

2. Wallace’s Tiaja Love In The Sun, 9 year old yellow bitch of good breed type and not showing her age. Feminine head of balanced proportions with a kind dark eye and soft expression. She is strong over the neck with well placed shoulders, straight forelegs with good bone, is deep through body with well sprung ribs, a firm topline and muscled hindquarters. Not the best on the move today.
