Bournemouth 2014 - Wire Haired

Wire Haired J 1 Rowe and Rowes, Boloria`s Arabella, 9mth very "typey" brindle bitch, beautiful head and feminine expresion, dark almond shaped eye and correct scissor bite.She has a good reach of neck, a super prominent oval fore chest, which has good width and length to keel, her shoulder is well layed back and ribs are nicely sprung with good depth and length. She has a strong loin with a broad, well developed rump nice bend of stifle and good width and length to thigh, her coat is correct and was presented in "tip top" condition and she moved soundly and truly around the ring. I can appreciate that being still a puppy she needs to tighten up in parts, but she is so well balanced, her front and rear angles are beautiful creating a picture of everything in proportion and fitting together, my hands just flowed over here and on the day I could not deny her the B.O.B and also B.P and later pleased to see she was awarded P.G4. 2 Pughe and Frasers, Bystock Gucci Girl, another beautiful puppy bitch of just 6mths with lots to admire about her, super happy temperament, conical head with dark eye, lovely feminine expression, good angulation front and rear, nice spring and length of ribbing, just preferred the more developed and prominent forechest of 1, she has a good wire jacket and moved with drive and enthusiasm. 3 Bubbs Ablebody Voix Celeste At Wyeknot.

PG 1 Rodwell and White, Sternchen Rastaban, 17mth male, correct conical shaped head with dark almond shaped eye, good reach of neck and prominent forechest, shoulder and ribbing o.k with well developed rear quarters. He has good bone and a nice wire jacket, but his movement was somewhat erratic, I think he was pre-occupied with looking for the bait his handler had, as was the case when trying to assess his mouth and bite. Perhaps a little more training would be useful, using bait in a more appropriate manner. R.B.D

L 1 Rowe and Rowes, Boloria`s Cadbury Surprise, chocolate brindle male of good make and shape, creating a balanced profile, with good front and rear angulation. He has a strong "houndy" head with good pigmentation, prominent pro sternum, nice lay back of shoulder, with well sprung ribs of good depth and length. He is nicely coupled with a strong loin and topline, a broad, well developed rear quarters, good bend of stifle and nice "hammy" hocks which he used to move with reach and drive and was parallel out and back. Another lovely hound from this kennel who has bone, a good coat, which was well presented and a happy outgoing temperament. BD 2 Bubbs, Teckelgarth Leap Of Faith To Wyeknot, dark brindle male, not quite the balance of front and rear angles as 1, however, he has a nice head and kind expression, dark almond eye, prominent well filled forechest, good length of keel, deep well sprung ribs with a broad well developed rear quarter, nice tight feet, good bone and coat which was well presented.

O - 1st, Rowe and Rowes, Boloria`s Naughty But Nice, chocolate brindle bitch, litter sister to previous class winner, same comments apply, but I felt that her brother had slightly more length of neck and prominence to forechest and in the challenge for me this was a deciding factor. R.B.B
