Golden Retriever Club of Northumbria Joint 2022. Saturday 8th Jan 2022. It was a honour to be asked to give my first CC awards at the Golden Retriever Club of Northumbria, a favourite show of mine that I have been attending for over 40 years. Thank you to the committee for your kind hospitality and to my lovely stewards Christine and Fiona for keeping the day running so smoothly. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I was really pleased with the numerical entry and the quality of my bitches, some classes gave me lots to think about with the veteran, puppy classes, limit and open being strong with outstanding dogs which unfortunately meant that there were some very nice exhibits that went unplaced. I was a little concerned that a handful were carrying too much weight especially around the shoulders, this often affected their front movement and, in some cases, resulted in crossing or paddling. On a plus this is something the owners have control over and could be improved with a little discipline. I also found a couple of incorrect bites which I was very surprised at especially at this level. . VETERAN BITCH (11, 5) 1. Ewart’s Beaupippin Dusky Lilac A 7 year old girl who was presented in excellent condition and carrying the correct amount of weight. She has a lovely straight front with tight cat-like feet. I liked that she was upright on her pasterns and that she moved correctly with drive. She has a good level topline leading into a correct tail-set. Well angulated both front and back with a good reach of neck. 2. Turner’s Grain of Gold’s Arwen of Amilone (IMP SWE) At almost 9 years of age this lady has as much energy as the young ones. She moves with drive and vigour and covers the ground well. I liked her feminine head with dark eyes and soft expression. She has a good spring of rib, deep in body and she is short coupled which presents a good balance. 3. Middlemiss’s Evenmint Autumnal Leaves at Harmarjoy . SPECIAL WORKING BITCH (2,0) 1. Turner’s Turner’s Grain of Gold’s Arwen of Amilone (IMP SWE) 2. Middlemiss’s Evenmint Autunmal Shades at Harmarjoy A mid-gold bitch presented in good coat. She has a good reach of neck and good lay back of shoulders. She has lovely round feet and nice straight front. Unfortunately, did not have the front or rear angulation of the winner. MINOR PUPPY BITCH (17, 6) 1.Clarkson’s Drumkilty Venetian Glass This 7-month-old pale coated baby caught my eye as soon as I looked around the ring, she is just what I would want for a puppy of her age. She is ultra-pretty and has a lovely shaped head with dark eyes and pigmentation. She has a good straight front, good bone and perfect feet. She has good shoulder angulation and a nice bend of stifle and I liked her length of leg. Her movement is correct and keeps her topline level, she was in a number of classes and she settled more into her stride with each one. I was pleased to award her best puppy bitch and with the agreement of my co-judge best puppy in show which I later found out she competed against her litter brother to win. 2. Towers’ Alibren Heidi High Another lovely 7 month old puppy with the most beautiful coat and lots of character. Feminine head with good pigment and good reach of neck. Straight front legs with good fore and rear angulation. Although correct she was not quite as steady with her movement as 1 today but I am sure she will push for equal honours at another time. 3.O'Gorman’s Berrymeade Kinvara . PUPPY BITCH (13, 3) 1. Clarkson’s Drumkilty Venetian Glass 2. Hill & Smith’s Megarvey Clementine This feminine girl of almost 10 months is another stunner with a beautiful pale to mid gold gleaming coat. She has a pretty head with dark eye and pigment. Super reach of neck with nice lay back of shoulders and good fore angulation. 3rd Towers’ Alibren Heidi High . JUNIOR BITCH (9, 5) 1.McNeish’s Drumkilty Toodle Pip There was no denying this lovely bitch the first place in this class however she did give her handler a hard time and in her subsequent classes she lost her spark and her owner found it difficult to get her to be attentive which was a shame. She has such a pretty head with dark eyes and pigment. She has a good reach of neck and nice straight front. Well bodied with a good spring of ribs and good bend of stifle. 2. Moncayo’s Cuenta Conmigo Yo Soy Lolita (ATC ESP) A very nice bitch who has just turned 1 year old, she has a gleaming mid-gold coat with pale feathering that sets it off. A picture when stood with her lovely outline, she has a solid topline which she holds well. On the move she has a good stride covering the ground well however carries her tail a little high for my liking. 3rd Higham’s Lamancha Hope for Good Times . YEARLING BITCH (12, 6) 1. Zubair’s Thornywait I Spy (AI) Such a lovely girl with a feminine head and soft expression, super reach of neck and lovely shoulder placement. Nice and short coupled with a good bend of stifle and good muscle tone. I noted that she had good strong pasterns, well off for bone and super tight feet, a credit to her owner for presenting her in such good condition. She moved well, nice and steady and at one with her handler. 2.Foreman’s Ambersun Heart of Gold A mid to dark golden girl with beautiful wavy coat and light coloured feathering presents a lovely picture. Pretty face with dark eyes and good pigment, she has a good reach of neck and good angulations front and back. Good strong topline that she holds well on the move albeit she didn’t stride out as steady as 1 today. 3. MacLeod’s Garline Just For You . MAIDEN BITCH (13, 4) 1. Clarkson’s Drumkilty Venetian Glass 2. Towers’ Alibren Heidi High 3.Higham’s Lamancha Hope For Good Times . NOVICE BITCH (18, 7) 1.Clarkson’s Drumkilty Venetian Glass 2. Loverock’s Lovissa Russian Roulette This lovely girl was presented so well with the most gorgeous of coats and she was trimmed to perfection. She has a lovely pretty head with gentle expression and she has dark eye and pigment. Good reach of neck leading into a level topline. Correct tailset and strong rear quarters. She moves well both out and in and at one with her handler. 3. Foreman’s Ambersun Lost In Music . UNDERGRADUATE BITCH (8, 3) 1. Douglas’ Drumkilty Read My Lips This girl is maturing nicely and has a good spring of rib, she is deep in body and has nice short coupling offering an overall balanced picture. She is presented in a lovely mid gold coat that is thick and shiny. She is well boned and I love her round cat-like feet standing on nice straight legs. A lovely mover carrying a strong topline and good tailset. 2. Carrington’s Lalique Lady Be Lovely Another bitch with a darker gold and gleaming coat. Well bodied, deep in chest and has a good length of leg with super tight feet. Her head is not my ideal but she has good dark eyes and pigment. Moves correctly when striding out. 3. Pounds-Longhurst Mossburn Golly Miss Molly . GRADUATE BITCH (16, 8) 1. Hill’s Sandaula Kiss From A Rose (AI) JW This girl has got quality movement, front, back and in profile. She was presented in a lovely thick rich gold coat that had a gleam. She excels in her front with a good reach of neck, well laid back shoulders and good upper arm. She is short coupled and has a good bend of stifle. 2. Douglas’ Drumkilty Read My Lips 3. Williams’ Auristela Lady Luck At Lamhryn . POSTGRADUATE BITCH (12, 4) 1. Haxton’s Dantassie Dancing Moonbeam This girl has a lovely shape. Her head is typical of the breed, intelligent looking yet feminine too. She has a strong neck of good length and well-defined shoulder placement. Her front legs are straight, well set under, close fitting elbows, and strong pasterns with superb cat-like feet. She is short coupled with deep rib cage and a good turn of stifle. Moves correctly with drive. 2. O'Gorman’s Terra Di Siena Are You With Me Berrymeade (IMP ESP) JW Not as mature as my winner but there’s still a lot to like about her. I like the fact that she naturally stands four square with a lovely straight front and strong rear. She is well angulated both front and back and has a strong topline. She moves correctly but not quite as settled as 1 today. 3. Nelson’s Cadwst Eternal Flame . MID LIMIT BITCH (9, 2) 1. Smyth’s Kadaka Kissagram JW This girl is so well balanced, nothing overdone but with everything in it’s place. She moves so well, freely and correctly which is helped by the fact she is in such good condition. She has good front and rear angulation with a good bend of stifle and deep second thigh. Her topline is held strong and she has a correct tail set. 2. Williamson’s Sandti Hits The Sweet Spot JW This girl definitely gave her handler a hard time and she was determined to search for someone outside the ring. Once she was settled and stood freely she looked beautiful. I liked her glossy coat and she was presented in good condition. She has a good bend and depth to her stifle and strong rear quarters. She moves well with drive and a good reach of stride. 3. Little’s Bluebraes Jacobite Lass . LIMIT BITCH (17, 6 ) 1. Youngson’s Linirgor Teachers Pet At Treeveville JW This girl headed one of the best classes of the day! A super pretty bitch with a thick pale coat. She has clear dark eyes and has kept her pigment well. A good reach of neck flowing into well laid back shoulders and a good return of upper arm. Her front is straight leading on to strong front pasterns and nice tight feet. She is well sprung in ribs and short in coupling. A good bend of stifle and strong rear quarters gives the picture of overall balance. She moved freely and accurately and looked good from all angles. Pleased to award her RCC. 2. O'Gorman’s Thornywait Top Notch For Berrymeade JW Another nice bitch that has a lovely outline when in profile. She has a good neck and shoulders with well sprung ribs. She has a feminine head with a kind expression. She moves well with drive and good reach. 3. Neil’s Mousseglen Makes Me Smile With Moloko OPEN BITCH (16, 7 ) 1.Macdonald’s SH CH Flyngalee Teppum My notes say OMG lover her! She oozes femininity with such a pretty head and alert expression. Her maturity and substance defies her age of just 2 ½ years as she is deep in chest and has a good spring of ribs. She is so balanced, her good reach of neck flows into well laid-back shoulders and good return of upper arm. Her front legs are straight and her pasterns are strong and her feet are round and tight. Her bend and depth in her stifle corresponds with her front and her hocks are square. Her coat is lush and thick with a gentle wave. Her movement is textbook and she flows round the ring with ease. I was pleased to award her with the CC and with the agreement of my co-judge Best In Show. 2. Rodgers SH CH Rojillair Evening Magic Of Odarla JW Another bitch I have admired from ringside since she was young and it was great to have her present today. She is so soundly constructed with with a very pretty head, soft expression and nice shape of eye. She has a super reach of neck and her topline is faultless both when stacked and on the move. She is presented so well in a lovely light gold coat with plenty of feathering. Although her movement is powerful she was a little overexuberant today and didn’t seem to settle, I am sure she could have done with a larger ring. 3. Magson’s Castlegolden Classy Lady JW Judge – Deborah Robbins (Brekswood) Result of our 12 dog Open A V. Retriever Stake at the Kennel Club ground at Emblehope. Very very testing ground for everyone.

- Golden Retriever Club of Northumbria 19th September 2021 Single Open Breed Show Judge: Helen Ferguson (Eyevalley) It was a privilege to judge at this friendly show. Thank you to the committee and the stewards for their hard work which contributed to a most enjoyable day and thanks also to exhibitors and their lovely dogs. To make a general observation, I was concerned to see some excessively dome-shaped skulls. The Breed Standard states ‘skull broad without coarseness’, therefore care should be taken to ensure this ‘setter type head’ does not become more prevalent for it is not typical. On the plus side, temperament was exemplary and I was pleased with my final line up.

Golden Retriever Club of Northumbria 19th September 2021 Single Open Breed Show Judge: Helen Ferguson (Eyevalley) It was a privilege to judge at this friendly show. Thank you to the committee and the stewards for their hard work which contributed to a most enjoyable day and thanks also to exhibitors and their lovely dogs. To make a general observation, I was concerned to see some excessively dome-shaped skulls. The Breed Standard states ‘skull broad without coarseness’, therefore care should be taken to ensure this ‘setter type head’ does not become more prevalent for it is not typical. On the plus side, temperament was exemplary and I was pleased with my final line up. VD (4,0 Abs) 1st Bell & Bell’s Hoaaloha Beat of my Heart Much to like about this 9 years old dog presented in full wavy golden coat. Kind expression, good reach of neck and shoulder placement, good bone, stood well under himself, good spring of rib, powerful quarters, moved soundly with an ease belying his age. 2nd Walker’s Cardrona Caledonia 7 years old Dark golden dog, with pleasing head and expression, well-constructed throughout. Standing, he did not show to his best, but on the move, his attributes were more apparent; moved with drive, good length of stride, straight front and rear. 3rd Wright’s Palton Panetela 4th Hughes’s Kailzie Colinton MPD (1,0 Abs) 1st Foxall’s Rosanbeth Aberlour Islay Tall, 8-month puppy dog. Dark eye and pigment, chiselled head and kind expression, presented well in pale wavy coat. Not quite together at this stage, will take time to mature. PD (2,0 Abs) 1st Mackenzie’s Leynosk Lazaro Pale dog presented with profuse coat. Good bone, straight front, dark eye and good pigment. Well-laid shoulder and upper arm assembly, short in the couplings, good breadth of thigh. Rather erratic on the move. (BPD) 2nd Murray’s Shebelta Soul Man Pale dog, presented well, pleasing outline, short coupled, balanced, good breadth of thigh, very similar to one and not much to choose between them. Again, rather erratic on the move. JD (3,1 Abs) 1st Wild’s Quakerhall Master Mariner at Bluewaters Pleasing masculine chiselled head with gentle expression, Good bone, straight front, good length of neck, muscular, well set-on with laid back shoulders and correct upper arm assembly. Good breadth of thigh, bend of stifle, strong quarters, moved purposefully with drive. 2nd Broadhead’s Monchique Last Samurai Mid gold dog, well up to size, beautifully presented in gleaming coat. Kind expression, straight front, round feet, muscular neck, longer cast than one, hocks well let down. Moved soundly, topline held on the move. YD (1,0 Abs) 1st Broadhead’s Monchique Last Samurai ND (6,1 Abs) 1st Wild’s Quakerhall Master Mariner at Bluewaters 2nd Holmes and Higgins’ Kellywillow Augustus Mid-gold dog, presented in gleaming wavy coat.

Straight front, good length of leg, correct forehand assembly. Good bend of stifle, hocks well let down, strong quarters, moved soundly, carrying the right amount of weight. 3rd Holmes and Higgins’ Kellywillow Augustus 4th Smith’s Thornywait Iluminati at Goldmarker PGD (5,1 Abs) 1st Kipps’ Cawdst Flash Flame to Wheatcroft Pale dog, well presented in full gleaming coat. Dark eye and kindly expression, well set on muscled neck. Good bone, straight front. Correct forehand assembly. Level topline. Good breadth of thigh, strong quarters, well-muscled, moved with drive, straight front and aft. (RBD) 2nd Haxton’s Dantassie Double Take Dark golden dog, short of coat today.
