We were unfortunate with the weather today.  The rain and snow did seem to have an effect on the dogs making many unhappy on the stand and unsettled on the move.

 

Pyrenean Mountain Dogs

Limit (2, 0)

1st Munson’s Pyrbern Blond Lynx. 20mth D. Presenting a pleasing outline. Head developing well with a lovely dark eye and nice close ears. Well made front and rear. Rather unsettled on the move today. BOB

Italian Spinone

1st MacPherson’s Rokeover Billy Bong. 7mth D. A very nice young man. Correct in so many aspects presenting a lovely outline of correct shape and proportions. Good head with correct planes, nice eyes and correct ear set. Super, well laid shoulders, good bone and feet. Pleasing rear end, developing well. On the move, so steady and true for one so young. RBOB

Open (2,0a)

1st MacPherson’s Inostricani Foo at Rishona. At only 10mths this young man belies his age. A super shape with correct proportions. Lovely head and eye, correct ear set. Well laid shoulders, lovely fore-chest, good bone and feet. Good spring and depth of ribbing, short strong loin to well rounded rear. Super free mover, true fore and aft. A pleasure to award him BOB and BP then later lovely to watch him win Group 3 and Puppy Group 2

2nd Sutton’s Sh Ch Netis in the Groove JW ShCM

 

 

Weimaraner

 

Limit (3,0a)

1st Greenwood’s Ansoma Blue Bell at Nikrick  2yr B. Fine and feminine. Nice head and eye, super lay of shoulder, lovely fore-chest, Well ribbed back giving good length. Super rear angles. Best of movers with a free flowing, ground covering gait and true coming and going.  In my opinion she presents a better outline when the hander does not over stretch her. RBOB

3rd Marsh’s Gallyocean White Rapids

1st Clarke & Radford’s Schonhund Showvanist over Errytar JW. My notes say “Stunning”. What a pleasure to judge this young man. Superb outline, super head with nice eye. Good length of neck to well laid, well-muscled shoulders. Straight front with good bone and well arched feet. Well sprung ribs of good depth. Strong loin to well muscled and correctly angulated rear. Effortless on the move with free ground covering strides and true fore and aft. In super condition and well handled.  Pleasure to award BOB then thrilled when he won the Group and went on to win RBIS.
