Brittany

Junior (1,0a)

1st Bagshaw’s Thesallier Fresco. 10mth Tri D. A young man that still has some maturing to do. Head needs to break but he has very good shoulders, is well ribbed and short coupled and has correct angulation at rear. Has good overall shape and is a steady mover. BP

Open (2,0a)

It is not often that a judge gets two super bitches like this is at an open show. Both worthy of their titles, both have super bodies, excelling in type and outline.

1st Bagshaw’s Ch Catja Vom Junkenhof (Imp Deu). 4yr D. For me this B is as near to my idea of a Brittany as I have come across. Super head of correct proportions and shape. Excels in body shape, excellent angles front and rear and correct movement. BOB

2nd Tully’s Sh Ch/Ir Sh Ch Eastonite Bracken. I have to mention this young lady as she too excels in type and body. Matched my winner for construction but I preferred the head and movement of my winner. RBOB

 

American Cocker

Junior (1,0a)

1st Walden’s Fielgar Royal Crusader. Just 12mths this young dog should have a super time ahead of him. Lovely head good stop and correct ear set. Would like a little more for chest but this could develop with age. Super shoulders well ribbed and lovely rear angles. Lovely mover true front and rear. BOB.

Open (2,0a)

1st Walden’s Fielgar Majestic Legend. 3yr D. Lovely boy for type and shape. Lovely head of good shape with dark eye and good ear set. Good lay of shoulder, correct topline and rear angles. Not moving his best today resulting in him losing out to his half brother in the challenge. RBOB

2nd Palmer’s Combleywood in the Limelite.
