DOGS
Minor Puppy Dog -2
1. Harrison’s
GLENBROWS REVOLUTION Very smart youngster with excellent head shape and clear
sparkling eyes. Correct clean dentition. Built on flowing lines, his neck
flowed into well laid shoulders and correct topline.
Well of for bone and muscle, his rear assembly enabled him to move with drive
and co-ordinated movement. Presented in beautiful coat and condition. BEST
PUPPY DOG.
2. Wetsteyn’s DEWI OUR LOYAL WELSH (AW01715NLD). Another
youngster who has pleasing head and expression. Correct dentition. Not quite
the depth of muzzle of 1. Good reach of neck leading to correct lay of
shoulder. Well ribbed up. Would have liked a tad more drive on the move.
Excellent presentation. 3. Bowd’s LENAMORE TIGER
ROLL.
Puppy Dog-5
1. Harrison’s
GLENBROWS REVOLUTION. 2. Graham’s
NYLIRAM LETS TWIST AGAIN. Built on flowing lines and head piece. Alert soft
expression. Clean dentition and correct shoulders. Well off for bone and
muscle. Feet could be tighter. On the move he showed drive and purpose but to
be picky, I felt the overall balance of winner was more to my liking. 3. Buckwell’s
KILLENA IN THE AIR TONIGHT.
Junior Dog – 3
1. Barkley’s
CHANANGEL MR WHODAT AT CHERRYHEATH. Great outline and looked so good entering
the ring. I was pleased with his overall balance. Correct head and ear set,
kind eye, strong neck leading to well laid shoulders. Plenty of bone and muscle
tone. Well developed rear assembly enabling him to
drive round the ring in style. Excellent presentation. 2. Buckwell’s
KILLENA IN THE AIR TONIGHT. A smart lad with a refined head and correct ear
set. Built on finer lines than winner.
Superb neck and shoulders and pleasing top line held on the move. Well boned
and tight feet. Lovely presentation with gleaming coat and condition. A happy
laid back lad. 3. Wright’s TAIHANG
HAWTHORN.
Yearling Dog- 2
1. Wren’s
LLON LEWYS AT GWYMARREN. Sometimes I see a dog enter the ring and I know he is
going to be something very special, this dog IS special. He fills the eye with
his make and shape. I was delighted to award him the RCC. He is still young but in my humble opinion he
has a great future. He is made along classic lines with handsome head and well
placed ears. Clear bright intelligent expression and correct dentition. Well laid
shoulders leading to superb body with plenty of substance and good bone.
Powerful rear assembly enabling him to drive well covering the ring with ease
and style. Presented in immaculate coat and condition. A lovely partnership
with dog and handler. RCC. 2. Wright’s
TAIHANG HAWTHORN. A very raw dog but still very pleasing in head and alert
expression. Front needs to firm up but he has a pleasing body shape. His tail
carriage let him down as he carries it like a flag. Movement is strong and driving and excellent
bone and muscle tone.

leading to good body shape. Well angulated behind. Neat feet. Balanced on the
move. 2. Blackwith’s
BENOVEOR RUNAWAY BRIDE. A pretty 7 month old who was really not keen on being

steadily at times. 3. Naunton’s TRENZALORE ONCOMING STORM.

over the loin, well angulated with well let down hocks. Good feet. Moved with
enthusiasm and tail ever wagging. I was pleased she was BPIS. 2. Buckwell’s
KILLENA DANCE IN MONLIGHT. Not the
maturity of 1 which made her appear longer cast. Nice Welsh head with a soft
expression. Pleasing overall shape with good bone and angulation. Firm catlike

Nice Welsh head with good earset and breadth of
skull. Plenty of bone and substance and good angulation front and rear with

arm. Compact with good bone and spring of rib. Well angulated behind and with
well let down hocks. Good feet. Moved freely.
2. Lancett’s CWMBEILI MADLEN. A very nice
bitch and most of the remarks for 1st apply to her as well. She was heavier overall than 1 and perhaps a
bit doggy for me. 3. Roland-Shrubb’s BICHERE PAINTED LADY.
Mid Limit Bitch 4
1. Jones’
JULITA RUMOURS AT TROSLEY. I have always liked this bitch and she did not
disappoint when I went over her. So very

angulated with strong second thigh. Super feet. Moved well with ground covering
movement. CC. RBIS & BOS.

1.
Caldwell’s HILLPARK QUEEN BEE FOR CERYSAN. I was spoilt for choice in this
class but this bitch had so much I was looking for. Lovely head and expression.
Really well angulated and super muscle tone, correct rise over the loin and
kept her topline on the move. Good feet and tail set.
Moved with drive and so happily. 2.
Harrison’s GLENBROWS VALENTINE. Slightly more heavily built than 1st
but nevertheless painted a lovely picture. Typical Welsh head with good
chiselling, breadth of skull and depth of muzzle. Well angulated front and rear

bone. A little hesitant on the move today.

Pretty head with depth of muzzle, good reach of neck and well angulated front
and rear with well let down hocks. Good feet. Moved true and with
enthusiasm. 2. Graham’s SH CH FERNDEL
COVER STORY ABOUT NYLIRAM. It was difficult to split these two so the remarks
above apply here as well. This bitch is bigger and heavier all over. However she painted a nice picture, with
plenty of bone and substance and also moved well. 3. Thomas & Upton’s BOWDONIA SERAPHINA JW
ShCM.
Champion Bitch 3

Slightly closer coupled than 1 so not quite such a balanced picture overall.
Pretty feminine head, good reach of neck leading to well laid shoulders, spring
of rib and depth of brisket. Well angulated behind and moved positively. 3.
Thomas’ SH CH BOWDONIA ANASTASIA JW ShCM
Veteran Bitch 10
What a
lovely class of elderly ladies. Always a favourite of mine.
1. Madeley’s BARHI FLAMING STAR AT MAYTAG. Lovely all round
Welsh type with plenty of bone and substance and still keeping her femininity.
Pretty head, good lay of shoulder and well angulated. Nice rise over the loin
which she kept on the move. I was
pleased to go over this bitch and today she really showed herself off RCC. 2. Blackford’s
AMBLELIGHT SUNGLOW. She was placed in a strong Limit class and held her own
here. Good head with stop and deep muzzle.
Well laid shoulder and upper arm. Strong body, well
muscled overall with depth of second thigh. Moved true and with
enthusiasm. 3. Primmer’s
AMANSHE GOLDEN REVELATION.
Special Beginners Bitch 1
1. Roland-Shrubb’s BICHERE PAINTED LADY. Placed in PG and a worthy
winner here. Nice compact bitch with a good head and sweet expression. Well
laid shoulders and upper arm, short coupled and well angulated behind with well
let down hocks and tight feet. Moved positively and with drive.
Special Working Bitch 1
1. White’s
FIERGEN STEAMY WINDOWS. Placed in veteran. A workmanlike bitch with a pleasing
head and expression and a deep muzzle. Adequately angulated both fore and aft
and with excellent muscle. Very balanced overall when stacked, perhaps could
lose a little weight. Moved well and with drive.
Special Shooting Bitch 5
1. Burchmore
& Haggar’s BOWDONIA BEDAZZLED AT LENAMORE.
Another workmanlike bitch who I’m sure could go all day. A good honest dog with
nothing flashy to detract from her overall Welsh shape. Good head and
expression. Short coupled. 2. Sutherland’s JACRANELLA SONATA. Slightly cobbier than 1 but well put together. Feminine head with
good stop and depth of muzzle. Length of neck leading to good shoulders, depth
of body and well angulated rear. Well let down hocks
and good feet. Moved well and soundly.

Plenty of bone and substance. Good reach of neck leading to correct lay of
shoulder and upper arm. Well angulated behind, good bend of stifle and nicely
let down hocks. Moved with drive. 2.
Charles’ STAGARTH A KIND OF MAGIC. A bi lighter in build than 1 and not such a
good topline. A fairly strong head but of good shape with a kind eye. Nicely laid shoulder and upper arm, strong
body with deep brisket and good angulation behind. Moved well.

SPECIAL
CLASSES
I would very
much like to thank the Club for inviting me to be Referee and to judge the
following classes.

Woodham’s Well matched pair of quality. Moved well together.
2nd
Roland-Scrubb’s Also well matched but not as mature as 1st.
3rd
Blackford’s
Special Breeders Team 2
1st
Smith’s
Very well matched team of Welsh
Springers by colour and type.
2nd
Primmer ‘s
Re: BIS
I chose the
dog CC winner Don"s Statement to Nyliram
as he was the complete mature picture.
Sound, fit
and showed well.
The bitch CC
winner was also a fine typical Welsh . She, in my
opinion still needs to mature and
spring her ribs.
