Crufts Gundog Group Critique
This prestigious appointment was the highlight of my judging career to date. The breed judges did a great job and gave me a wonderful group of quality gundogs to judge. I was really spoiled for choice and as I could only shortlist eight dogs, many dogs which I admired greatly did not reach the shortlist but be assured that I appreciated their quality.
I was looking for exhibits who were close to the ideal as laid down in their own breed standard, had excellent conformation and also displayed breed type. I was also looking for exhibits which were well-muscled and gave the appearance of being fit for the working environment. At this level of competition, it was also necessary to have the character, personality and stamina to cope with, and shine, in the big ring environment; my shortlisted dogs had this in abundance.
From this large group of 32 breeds, I shortlisted the English Setter, German Shorthaired Pointer, Pointer, Curly Coated Retriever, Labrador Retriever, Clumber Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel and Spanish Water Dog.
The Curly Coated Retriever has a lovely head, eye and expression; is well-constructed throughout and moved soundly both coming and going.
