Southern English Setter Society Open show Stakes Classes One general comment, I was concerned by the prevalence of constructional faults in both front and back ends. Please watch these when breeding. On the plus side all dogs were clean and well presented. Michael Winch Yearling Memorial Award (8, 1ab) Two nice bitches headed this class 1st Cozen's Larrenie Bony Lass at Earldoms. 19 months O/B, Good length of neck, textbook shoulders. Deep well sprung ribs, short coupled and well set on tail, in good coat. Moved soundly with correct tail action. 2nd Morgan, Bott & Petherick's Quensha Little Jeanie, feminine, promising O/B. Preferred her head and bone, but not the shoulders of 1. lovely body and topline. Giving a lot away in maturity but her sound movement gave her place here. Well handled. 3rd Richard's Decoverly Sweet Caroline with Rubuscott Lesley Allan-Scott Open Memorial Award (6,2ab) 1st Day's Mandyset Ready Steady Go To Deoverly. Won here with a bit to spare.
