SOUTH EASTERN WELSH SPRINGER SPANIEL CLUB CH.
SHOW - 16.10.2011
JUDGES REPORT
BRACE (1,0a)
1st Caldwell’s Cerysan Pocohantas & Cerysan Purely by Chance. A truly delightful matched pair
of mother & daughter. Both in excellent condition throughout, they moved in
total symmetry. The fact they stood alone made no difference to their obvious
quality and justification of the first prize.
SPECIAL
BREEDERS (4,0a)
1st Duncan’s Ir Sh Ch Redfrith
Betty Boop, 2 year old bitch in excellent condition
and well presented. Correct skull shape with biddable expression and kind eye.
Good reach of clean neck leading to well sprung ribcage with plenty of heartroom. Developed bone and musculature
throughout. Good strength over loin with correct topline.
Well balanced between front and rear assemblies, producing a straight
effortless drive on neat feet.
2nd Abbot’s Norlington Nectar JW. 3 year old
of good substance and condition. Kind alert expression and
eye, although a touch heavy in topskull for me.
Moved out well and with straight driving action, powering
from well placed hocks and tight feet.
3rd White’s Fiergen Steamy Windows. Immature ten month old but coming
along well. Kind eye and expression. Correct
dentition. Clean reach of neck leading to ideal depth of ribcage. A touch wide
in front for me, but overall a pleasing example.
KENNEL CLUB BREEDERS COMPETITION (1,0a) 1st Duncan’s Team. Well matched and moved out well together. They
obviously enjoyed the experience.
BILL BUNCE (Judge)
DOGS
It was a
great privilege to judge dogs at this show and I would like to thank the
members who voted for me and the committee for their hospitality, also many
thanks to my efficient stewards.
I felt some
lacked muscle in hind quarters and narrow hind action and for me some were
carrying too much weight. In saying that although type was varied I was more
than satisfied with my final line-up
.
