Shropshire Gundog Society

Puppy (2) 1 Mason’s Sandlauga Bailey’s On Ice. A sturdy blue roan tan girl who I have judged earlier as a baby puppy. Wow, she has matured a lot in a very short time under her abundant puppy coat. Well up on her legs; strong, deep body firming nicely. Head still developing. Moderate neck smoothly into well placed shoulders. Front chest is really well on its way for the age, good return of upper arm. Very good hindquarters, broadness in her thighs and well formed angulations allowing parallel, effortless movements.  A fun loving, confident girl enjoying her day out. BPIB. 2 Ciupa’s Velvet Petalwhisp. 11-month-old blue roan creates a typical, moderate outline. Pretty feminine head with parallel head planes, dark eyes and tight eyelids. Moderate neck, compact body and short loin. Straight front legs, tight catlike paws. Would prefer a longer upper arm. Excellent coat that is well prepared. Lovely temperament and presentation. 

Junior (1 1) 1 Ciupa’s Velvet Petalwhisp (see above) 

Postgraduate (3) 1 Gray’s Purdyspride Rave On JW. Very typical, sturdy and compact blue roan boy. Masculine head, tight dark rimmed eyes, gentle expression. Strong, moderate neck into well laidback shoulders. Well developed front chest, straight well boned front legs, well padded paws. Cobby body, short loin. Parallel angulations and free movements. Very well made boy, a pleasure to go over. Reserve Best of Breed. 2 Morris’ Riondel Maquerade In Blu. Lovely 18-months-old dark blue girl. Well proportioned. Very well developed body and chest for the age. Feminine head, gentle expression but would prefer a fuller, squarer muzzle. Beautiful neck, well placed shoulders. Well angulated hindlegs. Moves well when settles. 

Open (2) 1 Morris’ Riondel Solitaire. Gorgeous 4-year-old dark blue girl, creates a very balanced outline. Clean, feminine head with kind dark eyes, would prefer a tad fuller muzzle. Beautiful neck into the best of shoulders, excellent return of upper arm. Very well developed chest, fantastic spring of ribs, elbows tightly wrapped around her deep body. Level topline and strong, nicely rounded hindquarters. Well set tail correctly carried in move. Great temperament, tail in a constant action. Best of Breed. Won the challenge with her bustling, powerful movements. 2 Mason’s Sandlauga Soul Man VW. Merry 9.5-years-young golden boy showing no signs of aging. Balanced, masculine head, dark eyes expressing great kindness. Moderate neck nicely into well placed shoulders. Excellent bone, tight well padded paws. Deep chest, plenty of heart room in his sturdy body; but I would prefer a bit less length in loin. Parallel angulations allowing his free movements. Ideal level topline stacked and on move.
