David and I could not
understand why there was not the depth of quality in the dogs as there was in the bitches,
surely those cracking girls that I judged yesterday all had litter brothers. I was pleased
with my winners.
Puppy Dog 7 (2 absent)
1st Gellert’s Bigi’s Lancelot of Breezy, Just six months, very
pleasing head, super angles front and rear, nice size pup, good topline, legs and feet,
well turned stifle, thankfully not overdone in this department, moved very soundly.
2nd Sainsbury’s, Crosshaven Jazz, another good headed puppy, more
mature than 1, but did not have the good length and lay of upper arm that he did, so
making him toe in slightly on the move, apart from that very soundly constructed baby.
3rd Hawkins, Jayhawk’s Midnight Oil
4th Witts and Cogo’s, Windfall’s Seadog at Minefall
12 - 18 Month Dog 2

2nd Gertler & Hilton’s, RockyCreeks Lincoln Storm., yellow of 12
months, very nice balanced outline, pleasing head, good topline front angulation could be
better, had excellent rear angles, and drove well from the rear. toeing in on front
movement, in very good coat.

pleasing head, good forehand with deep well sprung chest, well turned stifle, good legs

me, not the front angles of 1 , superb coat, good topline, nice rear end and tailset,
drove well from the rear on good legs and feet.
Bred By Exhibitor
Dog 4
1st Flaherty’s, Hedgelawn’s Owe Me Big Time, a dog well put together,
with a really pleasing head, he had excellent angles front and rear, good topline, legs
and feet, well turned stifle, and in good coat. Moves well, needs a little more
“Oomph” to make the most of himself. Reserve Winners Dog.
2nd Savelli’s, Top Gun Toast To Maverick, good chocolate, with excellent eye
and coat colour. Not quite so good in front angulation as above, good topline, loin,
chest, legs feet, tailset and in super coat - drove very well from the rear.
3rd Mines, Rockycreek’s Sweet Basil
4th Thorn’s, Orion’s Tutonka
American Bred 6 (2 absent)
1st Henry’s, Mac Henry Mr Pickwick, perhaps a better name would
be “Mr Wiggle” dog with good outline and balance, pleasing head, good lay of
shoulder, would wish for a slightly better length and angulation to the upper arm,
excellent spring of rib, strong topline and good tail carriage, excellent legs and feet,
best mover in the class.
2nd Hilton and Gertier’s, Lincoln’s Aloway Jake. Liked his size
and balance, again not so good in upper arm, good deep ribs, and excellent stifle, coat
texture good, if a little on the thin side at the moment, drove well from the rear.
3rd Goebel’s, Liddle Leaping Leo
4th Manley’s, Brookland Ni Thorpe Abbotts.

1st Campanelli’s,Snowden Hills Solid State, Good balanced outline, with
pleasing head, well angulated forehand, good depth of chest. well turned stifle, topline
and tailset all good, as were legs and feet. Not in the best of coats, but that will grow
back. The best mover in the class.
2nd Eden’s, Matego The Buck Stops Here. Most of the comments above
apply here also, in better coat than above, but not the length or angulation of upper arm
that caused him to “toe-in” in front movement.
3rd Truran’s Beechbrook Thomas At Piperhill
4th Weist’s Beechcrofts Perfect Charmer
Open Chocolate Dog 3 One and two had excellent coat colour, but eye
colour could have been darker.
1st White-Peterson’s, Stonecrest Davy Crockett, In full coat, he had a
pleasing head, great spring of rib, with good lay of shoulder, upper arm could have had
more angulation, strong topline and loin, really good tail, and great rear end.

4th Voshell’s, Hightide Slam Dunkin
Bitches
and Intersex: Judge – David Coode (Warringah)
Generally the
bitches were noticeably better than the dogs of the day before. My main concerns were the
shortness of muzzle in some, and the rather short very compact bodies, not leaving too
much room for puppies. Movement on the whole was better in the bitches but fronts were
still a concern as they appear to be in many places now around the world.
Puppy Bitch 16 (4
absent)
I thought some of the bitches in this class would struggle to make the correct size, when
mature.
1st Thomas & Flaherty’s,
Hedgelawn Never Been Better, Chocolate, very smart just the right size for her age.
Very pleasing head and expression, nice eye colour, good reach of neck and good shoulder
placement. Well boned and muscled quarters good depth through the body, in very good coat
moved and showed well.
2nd Davies, Helms and Heidl’s, Tabatha
Pardocs Kali , black, very similar to one above, well grown on for her age, but
nothing overdone, true labrador head and expression, very nicely boned throughout, good
depth through the body, with soundly constructed quarters, coat of correct type, but just
on the blow, preferred the rear movement of 1 above, otherwise nothing between these two.
3rd Rudy’s Amberlyn Amaranth
4th Heidl’s Tabatha’s Locket.
12 - 18 Months Bitch 16

1st Dedering’s, Oswicks
Folklaur Storyteller. Excellent upstanding bitch with a lovely clear outline, super
feminine head and expression, with her head up she shows off her glorious reach of neck,
very good bone throughout, just right through the body and loin. Sound hindquarters in
very good coat, she moves with purpose, she still has some maturing to do but I was
delighted to award her Winners Bitch and Best of
Winners.
2nd Rekow’s & Vaughans’ Simerdown’s Starrbear,
yellow, very similar to 1 in so many ways, such a nice type, with all the breed
requirements, I preferred the front movement and coat of the winner, this is another very
promising bitch.
3rd Forte & Mines, Rockycreek’s
Perfect Thyming
4th Heidl’s,
Tabatha’s Trust
Novice Bitch 1
1st Heidl’s, Tabatha’s
Clarify, black, very pleasing head and expression, she has good reach of neck set into
well angulated shoulders, but the upper arm is a little short which affects her front
movement, soundly made hind quarters, but would prefer a little more scope in her body ,
good coat of correct type but just beginning to blow.
Bred By Exhibitor Bitch

1st Flaherty & Schwind’s

on the day, but it was of the correct type and texture, very pleasing feminine head and
expression, good reach of neck, good shoulder angulation, well constructed legs, well
developed in the body, with sound hindquarters, very good rear movement, but not quite so
true at the front, showed well.
2nd Rudy’s Amberlyn
Exactly, yellow, very close to 1 above, in every way, but not quite the same sparkle
as the winner, similar head and expression, true labrador, good bone throughout nice
spring of rib, good topline, but the coat was a little soft.

good reach of neck, nice shoulders, great depth in the body with well sprung ribs, nice

she moved truly. Delighted to award her the Best
Opposite Sex
Best of Breed Competition
18 (6 absent)
I was concerned
by some of the overly strong heads in this class particularly on the dogs,
my winner was Truran’s CH. Piperhill Jake‘s Walker, yellow, super
upstanding dog in full bloom with the truest of movements, very pleasing masculine head,
with correct stop, expression, and ear set. Enough of everything without being overdone.
Excellent reach of neck, set into well laid shoulder, super construction in the body with
true topline, well muscled hindquarters, a pleasure to go over and I was delighted to
award him Best of Breed. My veteran bitch taking Best Opposite Sex.
