GOLDEN RETRIEVERS

MP (7,1abs) Lovely class of quality puppies. 1St Lewis’ Zenevieva Million Dollars For Fairwinds (Ai (IKC), B, RBOB & BP, my notes say Wow! what a cracking young lady that flows from the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail, I loved everything about her, she has the most feminine head with kind dark eyes, superb outline & excels in front and shoulders with tight catlike feet, best mover of the class carries and her tail well holding her topline, handled and groomed to perfection, I could have taken her home! Delighted to see she went on to win RBOB in group, well done. 2nd Gerholds’ Navilis Shchedryk (Imp UKR) NAF TAF, D, 6 months old, nice head, good front, tight catlike feet, plenty of bone, another good mover. 3rd Weeks’ Sylahra You Are My Sunshine.

P (4,1 abs) 1st Gerholds’ Navilis Shchedryk (Imp UKR) NAF TAF, D, 2nd in MP. 2nd Taylor & Tenns’ Strettonhills Bees Knees, B, 6 months old, lovely head good feet, good bend of stifle, just needs a bit more confidence but that will come, moved well. 3rd Copleys’ Ashbyglen True Colours At Emmabe.

J (6,2 abs) 1st Smiths’ Goldmarker Alderbaran, D, 15-month-old dog just needs more confidence however he comes to life on the move, so much to like about him, lovely head with kind dark eyes, in excellent coat and condition, good neck and shoulders with plenty of bone and good bend of stifle. 2nd Lists’ Haydengold Latest Gossip JW, B, pretty headed bitch good neck and shoulders, lost out to the winner on movement. 3rd Loverock & Waldron-Smiths’ Lovissa Seeing Stars.

G (12,5 abs) 1st Smiths’ Goldmarker Alderbaran, (see Junior). 2nd Clunies’ Warrentor Abilene JW, B, 18 months old, not in her best dress today, pretty head, good neck and shoulders and excellent mover, longer in the body than winner. 3rd Moores’ Tenfield Klipspringer With Auryngra.

PG (4,2 abs) 1st Lane & Lane-Ridyards’ Hardyllic Jack Of Diamonds With Kulawand, D, ok head, handler over stretches him making him look rather long, good neck and shoulders and tight feet, moved well but tends to fly his tail on the move which spoils the overall picture. 2nd Gaylors’ Carolake X’Marks The Spot JW, B, nice bitch with a pretty head, today she was carrying too much weight over her shoulders, moved well.

ML (4,4 abs).

LD (4,1 abs) 1st Witheys’ Rosinante Major Hero, D, 5-year-old could do with more grooming to enhance his features, has a beautiful head, good in neck and shoulders and straight topline, good bone, moved well. 2nd Rogers’ Ambersun Passione Of Odarla JW, B, longer in body than 1, good neck and shoulders moved well. 3rd Archers’ Haydengold Just A Rumour At Sunandair JW.

O (9,3 abs) 1st Clunies’ Warrentor Nohkalikai JW, B, one I have judged before and she is just my cup of tea, flows from tip of her nose to the tip of her tail, excels in temperament which isn't surprising from this kennel, she is a true picture and a great ambassador for the breed & has the most exquisite head, superb front, neck and shoulders and has the best of feet, shown in excellent coat and condition can certainly do a day's work, foot perfect on the move carrying her tail well, no hesitation on awarding her BOB. 2nd Lewis’ Fairwinds In Space Man JW, D, a different type to 1 but another out of the top drawer, longer in the body than I would like, however there's lots to like about this 3 year old boy, he has a lovely head and kind dark eyes, superb temperament, excellent neck and shoulders, presented in superb coat and condition, another super mover who carries his tail well on the move, groomed and handled to perfection. 3rd Loverocks’ Putjade Peaky Blinder At Lovissa.
