GERMAN LONGHAIRED POINTER
PUPPY
1ST Ms S S Thomson, Sarscottah Eclipse: Whilst obviously very raw at just 8 months of age, she is balanced, of medium size and unexaggerated. Her muzzle and skull are in unison for her age, dentition correct, clean and complete, strong underjaw, clean neck of moderate length, very good forehand assembly, good width and depth to brisket, excels in bone quality all through, croup long with slight slope, tail set correctly, well bent stifles and parallel hocks. Moved soundly if not erratically at times and did enough to earn BEST PUPPY & RESERVE BEST BITCH.
JUNIOR
1ST Mr J & Mrs S Speck, Sarscottah Du Specktacular: A very pleasing bitch of nearly 15 months of age – she presented today devoid of any coat although what coat she did retain was of good quality. Very well balanced full of breed type – it is very easy to see the potential that this bitch possesses once she matures. Excellent head and expression. Dentition, clean correct and complete. Clean and slightly arched neck with good layback of shoulder and return of upper arm. Clear and visible sternum. Long, well sprung rib cage leading to strong loin and well made hindquarters. Excellent bone and feet. Moved well and soundly.
POST GRADUATE
1ST Mr D & Mrs A Wright, Caldera Coral Dawn at Lassemista: An extremely beautiful bitch of 20 months of age – presented and shown to the very highest of standards. So very feminine. So very striking. She presented a superb outline both when standing and moving. She retains a very good topline on the move. The very best of heads with correctly set ears. Her dentition was both correct clean and complete with a strong underjaw. She has desired moderate length of neck with slight arch, leading through to an excellent lay of shoulder and corresponding return of upper arm. Excellent brisket of very good width and depth and she is well ribbed back. Muscular loin. Strong, well- muscled hindquarters with super bone and feet with short nails. Moved well both fore and aft and presented a good open side gait when viewed in profile – so very free whilst in stride. In excellent coat and condition and showed and
2ND Ms S S Thomson, Sarscottah Delux: Litter sister to my Junior Class winner I am presuming looking at my catalogue. Very well balanced full of breed type. Excellent head and expression. Dentition, clean correct and complete. Nicely arched neck of moderate length with good layback of shoulder and return of upper arm. Long, well sprung rib cage and well made hindquarters. Excellent bone and feet. Moved well and soundly.
LIMIT
1ST Mr Cottam, Sarscottah Cloudburst: I really did like this bitch in her class, full of breed type, very well balanaced and free fro exaggeration BUT in the challenge a change of handler meant that her show stance and movement was not replicated from that shown in this class – she would have received higher honours if that had been the case. 5 years of age so now looking at her very best. A lovely bitch and so very feminine with a lovely clean head and expression, very good bone all through. Correct, clean and complete dentition, clean neck into well placed shoulder and corresponding return of upper arm, good width and depth of brisket with visible sternum, moderate hind angulation, tight, neat feet with short nails, moved very soundly except in the challenge where she did not move to her best advantage. Presented to a high standard.

JUDGE: Jennifer Millard
GERMAN LONGHAIRED POINTER
P 1(0) 1. Gale’s Cadanbyrig Fire and Ice. 10 month old youngster, lacking weight but otherwise with much to like, balanced and moderate but not overly done, exceptionally sound on the move and so clean coming and going, a really relaxed attitude and a very promising prospect. BP.
G 1(0) 2. Speck’s Sarscottah Du Specktacular. 14 month old bitch at a slightly awkward age but I was immediately took by her adorable outgoing personality, I liked her for size and substance, with a good spring of rib and plenty of depth, she scores in construction to the fore and was sound on the move, balanced and workmanlike combined with femininity. RBOB.
O 1(0) 3. Thomas/Taylor/Richards’ Sophisticated Lady. A pleasing bitch with style and substance, her size appealed and she has a melting head and expression, good angles, not as clean coming and going as some but I liked her for type and maturity, not in the best of coats today but more than happy to forgive this. BOB. |

JUDGE: Tracy Boyles Due to the downpour halfway through judging, a quick dash had to be made to the indoor rings, this unsettled some of the youngsters. There are some weak rears creeping in, and some with a lack of drive, never a good thing and will need to be watched.

JUDGE: Daniela Pino Tranquada
What a lovely well run show – and a super sunny day for it. I had a great entry and so many super exhibits. Thank you for your support.
GERMAN LONGHAIRED POINTER
O (2, 1a): 1 BOB Wright’s Caldera Coral Dawn at Lassemista, what a really lovely girl – she was alone but I had great pleasure in just watching her – especially when she moved around the ring & she certainly defines “energetic”! She is raw & has all the excitable exuberance of youth being just 14 months but it is all there. Lovely frame with good body ratios & correct topline. Playful glint in her eye, clean neck, needs to fill out in the front & drop down but this will come with maturity. In lovely condition. She has an effortless ground covering stride – she moved across the ring in three to four strides such was her length of stride – it would be pleasurable to watch her moving out in a big open field. |
