Southern English Setter Society – 21st November 2009 DOGS I was very pleased with the quality of dogs here today. The younger classes whilst not large, held some very nice, very promising dogs which can only bode well for the breed. BIS was Wansleydale Rowanberry of Valsett, RBIS Richecca Paper Doll with Upperwood and BPIS Redhara Crystal Cracker. Minor Puppy 3 (1). 1.Littlechild’ Ravensett Armani. Very smart o/b of good size, classic head with lovely head and dark eyes, short coupled, very good tailset and carriage, good hind movement, a little loose in front but just right for age. 2.Hill’s Mandyset Slippery Customer. 6 month o/b with lovely head, showing a lot of promise and moving nicely. Puppy 2 1.Oliver’s Bramstorm Walk The Line. Dark b/b/t of correct size, nice head and expression good reach of neck, nice outline with really well angulated hindquarters, moved well to win this class. 2.Golby & Martin’s Sunhouse Here Comes The Sun to Shadymoore. Promising dark o/b with very nice head, strong bone, level topline, moved well behind , still a little erratic in front but this will change with age, not as forward as 1 but a lot to like about him. Veteran 6 (2). 1.Hammond’s Bournehouse Paper Parade for Oaktrish. 9 years old with best outline in this class, b/b/t with nice head and soft expression, straight front, a little heavy over the shoulder but with deep body, good quarters, very happy on the move. 2.Holland’s Mandyset Dirty Dancing. 8 years b/b in lovely coat, straight front with good length of upper arm, nicely angulated, moved well but not the drive of 1. 3.Jolley’s Dyrham Dont Stop Me Now In Jolymore Junior 6 (3). 1.Swannell’s Rickory Up Close `N` Personal. Promising & very nice b/b of good size and substance, elegant outline, lovely reach of neck, deep body and strong quarter, good tailset and in good condition and well coated, moved well. 2.Mitchell & Withey’s Sunsprake Raging Storm over Scratchwood. O/b I liked a great deal but who is very much at the teenage stage and now needs to deepen in body and grow his adult coat, another who is very promising and when he matures should do really well. 3.Hutchinson’s Walshaw Midnight Moonlight Yearling 5 (1). 1.Sayer’s Mariglen Blue Flame for Christter b/b with lovely head, clean & elegant outline, long reach of neck into well laid shoulders, straight front, level topline with well angulated front and hind quarters, excellent tailset, free, easy mover.
