The Brittany Club of GB- Memorial Special
Classes
8th July 2017
What an honour to be asked to judge the memorial classes at the BCGB Championship Show. I was thrilled with my entry of 20 dogs making 21 entries.
A lovely day and a really enjoyable weekend due to the welcome from the committee, members and exhibitors alike. It was lovely to see so many people stay for the dinner on the Saturday evening and supporting the club at the events on the Sunday.

2nd Yarrow’s Bonapartist Linnet Super B just pipped by her brother. A feminine version of my winner she contrived to throw it away but redeemed herself in the line and could not be denied. Correct all through for shape and size. Head feminine of good shape, correct eyes and ears. Lovely ribbing of correct depth and spring. Short coupled to correct rear angles. Another correct mover. |

1st Southorn’s Rochus Juliet. Liked this B for her head and body shape and size. Perhaps a touch long in leg but with a well made front assembly, short loin and level topline. Not the spring of rib of some but good depth. Nice rear and moved well. |

1st Poole’s Sh Ch Bonapartist Gourrege . Wow, what a super boy this is. 5yrs, mature and excels in type, just what I was looking for. Super head with correct shape, nice eyes and well set ears. Lovely front with well laid shoulders over well sprung ribs of correct depth. Nice forechest that is lacking in many. Short deep loin, correctly angled read and level topline complete the picture. On the move he is true with correct reach and drive. If there had been a 'Best Special' then he was it. |

2nd Molton’s Sh Ch Jayricnbrits Eternal at Braebrits. This 8yr veteran B can still move it with the youngsters. Super head, feminine with the correct attributes. Well laid shoulders with correct spring and depth of rib. Level topline and correct rear. Still a lovely mover. |

3rd Coveney’s Tillybirloch Jem 2yr D. A typey boy with a masculine head with correct eyes and ears. Well made front assembly with good Spring and depth of rib. Short coupled and level topline to give him is correct shape. Correct rear angles. Today he was not as clean in his rear movement which moved him down the line. |
