Judge’s critique:
6 months puppy dog in profuse golden coat. Lovely masculine head, good reach of neck leading into well placed shoulder and upper arm. Rear assembly as good as the front. Short coupled and straight hocks. Very balanced picture. Needs to strengthen on front when moving but very true action fore and aft. Best Puppy.

2nd Novice Dog
Judge’s critique:
Dark coated 10 months placed 3rd in Puppy. Masculine head with kind expression enhanced with good pigmentation, good depth to his muzzle & correct dentition. Really liked the overall picture of this boy but he appeared slightly unsettled today. Beautiful front construction with textbook forehand & layback allowing his front feet to stand well under him. Good neck length flowing into dead level topline & correct set on of tail. Good depth through the heart and short in his couplings. Lovely balance to his backend with correct turn & width to his stifle & in strong muscular condition. Have seen him moving better than he did today but something was unsettling him. Good luck in the future he is a lovely prospect.

Judge’s critique:
Lovely outline and balance, looks lovely stood. Great head well shaped and balanced, super eye well shaped, good pigment, nice well used ears. Good strong long neck, well laid shoulder, firm backline and nice tailset, pity tail carried a little too high on the move. Correctly angled shoulder to upper arm with depth of chest, well sprung ribs well back with body depth and substance. Super coat in lovely condition and medium colour with feathering. Well muscled hindquarters, good return of stifle, nice hocks, good straight boned legs and tight feet, very positive mover with good ground coverage, sound but a little close behind.

Another lovely specimen of the breed. Have seen him from the ringside and was not disappointed when going over him. 15 month old beautifully headed male in dark golden coat with good pigment. Correct bite. Good length of neck into well laid back shoulders and balanced upper arm. Good bone and neat feet. Deep through chest with good spring of rib. Short coupled with good bend of stifle. Tail well set on and carried level. Good mover. I understand this win gives him his JW, well done. Best Dog.
