Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge Golden Retrievers bitches at their well run show Also many thanks to my Steward Barry McCartney and special thanks to the exhibitors for accepting the decisions of myself and co judge Angela Callow. Very happy that our BOB went G3.
PB: 7 (1) 1. Douthwaite & Wharfe’s Gracewood Makenzie BP 7 mths compact, pretty gold puppy, nice head and lovely pigment, straight front level topline, well sprung ribs for age, good bend of stifle, moved happily round the ring. . 2: List’s Haydengold Power of Love. 7mths Very similar to 1 in type and construction as they share the same sire. Sweetest of expressions, dark eye, good reach of neck into well laid back shoulders, level topline, lovely cat like feet, moved out well for one so young. These two will change places many times I am sure. A good future ahead for them both.
