Best in Show: Stephens’s RAVENHO LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE FOR BRIGHTMEADOW
Curlycoated Retriever blk 17m d Ravenho Looks Like Trouble For Brightmeadow; worthy son I see of the top winning Sh Ch Brightmeadow Never Say Die; clean wedge-shaped head with parallel planes; oblique, oval eye with close lying ear set just above; gd neck, shoulder & forechest; well ribbed back; correct slight length; distinctive coat; ex tail carriage as he moved out so effortlessly & parallel with drive; clearly title bound.
RBIS: Tobin and Moss’s DAVIGDOR POPPIES
Pointer b. bang on 2yrs o/w Davigdor Poppies; judged, and put up in the breed, as a baby; “strong but lissom”; such an attractive head being clean cheeked & slightly dish-faced with pronounced occiput & stop; kindly eye & close lying ear; gd neck & shoulder; correct, short-coupled, backline to a well placed tail that lashed as ate up the ground on that final gait & with drive.
BIS3: Morris’s RIONDEL SOLITAIRE
Cocker Spaniel 17m b. Riondel Solitaire; such a classically, so typical , blue roan with such a glorious eye & expression as to draw you in with lobular ears set on same level & extending beyond her square muzzle; clean & chiselled in head; nicely deep & compact; short, thick loin; flat silky coat with feathering; merry tail carriage & so freely true moving; looks ready now to take on the world, as she emerges into adulthood, in this most competitive of breeds.

Best Puppy In Show
BPIS: Warburton’s OWLSPOINT LOADS OF TROUBLE
Bracco Italiano 9m d. Owlspoint Loads Of Trouble; striking white with orange & so worthy to be carrying this famously consistent breed prefix; well-balanced & developed for age to be almost square; long, clean & sculpted head with divergent planes; breed specific backline; his handler stepped in to maximise his chances as he gaited with that fast, extended, trot with drive & high head carriage; only needs to mature on along these same lines to get noticed & is certainly one to watch.
RBPIS: Smith’s POTTERZURI MISTER PUMBAA OF FLYENPYG
Labrador Retriever 10m yellow d. Potterzuri Mister Pumbaa Of Flyenpyg; unexaggerated breed type who struck me as both fit and functional with ex conformation; clean cheeked with defined stop; deep through chest & rib; desired otter tail carried spot-on; dense coat with hard feel; went true with drive; a “no nonsense” real prospect.
BP3: Roberts’s OAKSWARREN SMOULDERING HOT
Hungarian Viszla just turned 7m b. Oakswarren Smouldering Hot: bred in the purple I now see; no mistaking her sex both with her lean head with tapering muzzle & with her cleanly refined bodylines with such elegance to her lively gait; gd in neck & shoulder; high withers; back short & level; smooth & shiny coated; absolutely raw but excitingly so.
BP4: Curtis’s TALLISTART MIDNIGHT ASH
Flatcoated Retriever 9m blk d Tallistar Midnight Ash; homebred & Ch sired; one of a trio of siblings, I see, making their debut; so secure, straight & true for such a relative youngster; long, moulded head with strength of muzzle; firm front with some depth of chest & well ribbed up; fine, dense coat; carried himself & his tail so well to earn this promotion.

1st Warburton’s OWLSPOINT LOADS OF TROUBLE BOB BPIB
9M O/W D, head of correct proportions with a melting expression, strong neck into well laid shoulders, good in forechest and depth of chest, strongly boned legs to super feet, well angulated fore and aft, he holds a strong topline both standing and on the move which he does with ground covering ease, I gave this boy Puppy Group 1 at Otley when he was just 6.5 months old and was delighted to get my hands on him again, he is maturing beautifully and is so steady for a baby, I have no doubt his future will be very bright, BP, BOB & BPIS, congratulations.
2nd Fazenfield and Smith’s ASKIN FOR TROUBLE
Litter brother to 1 but not as together at present, he is longer cast and doesn’t have the width or depth of chest of his brother at present, that said, he is also well angulated all round and moves well although his feet need to tighten, he will just need time to mature into his frame & tighten up all round

1st Warburton’s WITHAMFRIARY LUSH BLOSSOM
22M C/W B, sweet head of correct planes, eyes of correct shape, I would like a slightly darker eye colour but that’s a personal preference, she has enough neck into a good front assembly, well boned without being overdone, good feet, strong topline to correct tailset, all held well on the move, moved out well but had a tendency to go a little wide in front coming towards me, a nice honest girl but not the presence or showmanship of the younger dog today.

20M B/W D, lovely head with dark eye and kind expression, ears of correct set and length, good front assembly, strong neck to good topline, tail well set on, well boned legs to good feet, moved steadily around the ring holding his topline BOB
2nd Le-Clerc’s HUNTERBHECK LOST IN A SPELL
Half sister to 1 but very different, much more of a working type, not the head for me, that said, she had a sweet, kind expression with a dark eye, ok for bone, coat and construction, enough bone and correctly shaped feet that would benefit from shorter nails, movement was hard to assess as she was very erratic and giving her handler a hard time. I appreciate it was quite damp outside the venue but I was very surprised that both these exhibits were presented in a less than ideal condition, they were both extremely wet underneath which detracted from their overall presentation, a quick towel down and comb through before coming in the ring would have done the trick.

2nd Shipton’s HEARTWOOD MISHULES GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
15m d; glorious liver & tan colour on a dense coat of abundant feathering; different type to the rest being heavier headed & bodied and whilst perfectly sound, moving on correct flat bone & tight feet, he was rather lethargic with his tail clamped down.

8m bitch, pretty head with soft expression, she uses her ears very well, enough neck into good shoulder placement, straight front, correct feet, moderate rear angulation, coat of correct texture with undercoat, a bit erratic on the move, not helped by the handler having the lead too long allowing her to keep dropping her head and veering off, a bit more practice and shorter lead and she will look a different picture, BP

1st Brooks and Brooks-Tennant’s HAWKFIELD QUEEN BEE OF TENBROOKSHER BPIB
6 month black and white female with a sweet expression and feminine head. Gracefully curved throughout, she has everything in the right place at this tender age. Well-placed shoulders from a clean neck. Neat in front and plenty of depth to chest. Such pleasing bone, pasterns and shape of feet and toes. Level in top-line, ribs carried well back to a firm loin and hindquarters. Initially moved with uncertainty, and bouncy, but got it together to show her graceful lines, present neat limbs, clean footfall and lash her beautiful tail. She coped so well with the ring environment. Adored all her attributes. Pleased to award her BP
2nd Scales’s RIOWOOD BLACK TIE OF SALOPLASS
Black and white, male who, at 10 ½ months, really does have the most beautiful head proportions, dark eye and a melting expression.His muscular neck sweeps smoothly into a good lay of shoulder. Forequarters have a pleasing return of upper arm. Plenty of depth to brisket with ribs carried to short coupling. Longer cast than 1, he is a pleasing shape all through with graceful curves and a fine example of the breed. Although he moved steadily, his hindquarters lacked a solid driving action in this ring. Preferred the balance of 1 and her overall movement.

Her neat movement, fore and aft, of even strides, won her the class.

Black and white male of 16 months with a balanced head and melting, soft expression. He looked a picture when settled on the stack with balanced shoulder and upper arm, neat front and best shaped feet. Ribs carried back to a short coupling. Depth of chest yet to come. Pleasing set on of tail that he did use well. Unfortunately, in this ring today, his forelimb movement was untidy coming towards me and his hindquarters lacked a solid drive. Close decision, I preferred the movement of 1

Her movement was the best in the Pointer classes, having power in her drive and reach while moving happily around the ring. Pleased to award her BOB.
