Thank you for the lovely entry of 21 dogs. A good entry considering East Anglia Cocker Club held their show locally on the same day. All dogs were well presented, happy and many were of similar type. Many decisions were "splitting hairs".

PHOTOS CRITIQUES

1st Pontisbright Miss Happy

7 months old gold bitch. Happy by name, happy by nature! Balanced feminine head, tight dark eye, gentle expression. Correct length of neck, fine shoulders, straight front with good forehand construction, deep chest and well sprung ribs, short coupled, correct rear assembly, tight feet. Just a baby and not the biggest of girls but so Cockery! Moved soundly, with good reach and drive, keeping a level topline. Best Puppy

2nd Wizzmill Goneandunit

9 months old blue roan bitch. Compact bitch with lots to like. Balanced head, sweet expression. Correct construction, big ribs, short loin, wide rear. Moved well and with enthusiasm. Carrying a little extra weight and topline paid the price.

1st Pontisbright Star Finder

9 month old blue roan dog. Very cockery youngster with balanced head, kind expression. Straight front, tight feet, correct shoulders, length of neck in keeping with short compact body. Deep chest, ample bone, well sprung ribs, short loin, and well angulated fore and aft. Wide rear, good tail carriage. Moved with purpose and drive although front needs to tighten. Close decision for BP.

 

2nd Wizzmill Never Walk Alone

11 month old blue dog. Good make and type. Built along bigger lines than 1st placed dog. Balanced head, gentle expression. Straight front, correct neck, correct angulation, well sprung ribs, powerful wide quarters. Moved soundly, keeping a level topline.

1st Philford Thomas The Tank at Langrawi

2 yr old smart blue roan dog. Well presented and very happy. Balanced head, kind expression, straight front, tight feet, correct shoulders although would prefer more layback, acceptable angulation fore and aft, deep body, correct ribs and loin, ample width of thigh, slightly longer rear pasterns. Moved correctly with purpose and drive.

1st Tojamatt Achilles with Harbethol

3 year old black male. Masculine, balanced head, melting expression, tight dark eye, correct length of neck, fine shoulders, straight front, correct forehand, deep chest and body, well sprung rib, short coupled, correct rear assembly. Wide quarters, good thigh, lots of substance, short rear pasterns. Correct tail set although a little proud of tail. Animated on the move with good reach and drive and level topline. BOB

2nd Rozanko Brown Sugar

3 ½ year old chocolate roan male. Lots to like. Balanced head, with dark tight eyes, excellent pigmentation. Ample neck, correct shoulder width, would prefer more layback and upper forearm, deep chest, well sprung ribs, short loin, good width of thigh. Moved happily with drive but slight tendency to weave. Well presented.

1st Reemif From Bramble Thorns

10 year old orange roan bitch in excellent condition who showed the youngsters that age is no barrier. Feminine head with gentle expression, excellent teeth/dentition.
