The DOGS Critique by Linda Heron

Three Ridings Labrador Club Championship Show - 15th March 2025

Firstly I would like to thank the Club for asking me to step in. I wish Mr and Mrs ODonoghue all the best, I'm sure they had been looking forward to the appointment. It was lovely to be asked to judge with Linda. We last judged together many years ago, we agreed on all our joint decisions.

My next thank you goes to the fabulous and friendly stewards Pam and Charlotte, who very

kindly not only did the regular stewarding jobs with great efficiency, Charlotte also took photos of the placed dogs for me and sent them on this was very much appreciated.

The committee have found a lovely venue and everyone worked so hard to put on a good

show.. The delicious lunch was much appreciated.

Finally, a big thank you to all who entered. I was really pleased to have such a quality entry.

Several classes gave me some tough decisions. A few general observations, I had two or three dubious mouths and I noticed some very upright pasterns one dog was even knuckling over this, needs watching.

DOGS

BABY PUPPY (5-0 abs)

1st Hopkinson’s ROCHVALE HERCULES TO ROCHEBYwhat a sweetheart! Showing like a veteran, so very well schooled for his tender age, I loved his head and expression. He had

scope, just needing to slightly come up on his legs as they do at this age. Good neck into well laid shoulders, well bodied, fabulous tail shape. Pipped his brother to the top spot with his lovely feet.

Best Baby Puppy

2nd Hopkinson’s ROCHVALE PRINCE CHARMING TO ROCHEBY very similar comments

apply which now I have the names and breeding I can understand why!!

3rd Litherland’s OAKHOUSE ORANGUATAN

MINOR PUPPY (6-1 abs)

1st Hodge’s NAIKEN ISLAND HOPPING This well grown chocolate puppy has a lovely clean outline helped by his tight fitting coat. He has a good length of leg finished with well shaped feet. Correct front and rear angulation. A nicely balanced pup with a good topline which flows into a well set and carried tail. Moved well. Best Puppy Dog

2nd Harris’s WINSLEYWOOD WILFRED a nice young yellow another with a lovely clean

outline, kind head with good length of muzzle and dark pigment. He has a good length of leg.

Today he was difficult to settle on the move but when settled he was true coming and going.

3rd Lesley’s STEELEIGH I’M THE YOGI BEAR

PUPPY(4-1 abs)

1st Tulloch’s BINNAIG SEA THE STARS OVER TULLOCHMOHR a stronger type of youngster very well grown, he had a lovely line through the neck and shoulders, excellent ribs. He showed to advantage and on the move really strode out.

2nd Smith’s BINNAIG SEA BARNACLE ON FLYENPYG interesting to see these two are also

brothers. I liked the amount of hind angulation also the upper arm on this puppy, however, I felt on the day the winner was better in front pasterns and feet.

3rd Frostick, Allen & Hess’s ALLENIE CALLING THE SHOTS FOR MARLUKNEY

JUNIOR (8-1 abs)

1st Rawlinson & Balshaw’s SHANORRELL SEAMUS COLEMAN old fashioned lovely breed type a middleweight type ( compliment!!), clean cut young male who made my final cut. Such a kind head and expression with lovely eye colour. Well constructed fore and aft with good shaped ribs. Good strong loin. Good length of stride.

MAIDEN (3-1 W/D)

1st Lesley’s STEELEIGH I’M THE YOGI BEAR young black carrying a heavy coat of good

UNDERGRADUATE (5-0 abs)

1st Edward’s KIMBAJAK ROYAL MINT lovely young yellow who is all in one piece, he just

ends.

3rd Cain’s EXELBY WHAM BAM HANNABEE

On the move he had a good length of stride and was true in both directions.

LIMIT (16- 5 abs)

A very nice class.

1st Tulloch’s BINNAIG BONNACH FOR TULLOCHMOHR I really like this dog's head. He had the kindest of expressions helped by his brown eye. Ears were well set and carried which added to the picture. Well made and nicely boned. Slightly longer cast which is a help on the move, giving him reach and drive. He showed and handled so nicely. One I liked a lot.

2nd Finney’s CARPENNY KIPLING lovely type of dog, another with a clean well balanced

Those virtues coupled with balance, a kind brown eye, good ribs and well bodied he was my CC winner and delighted to have such a good one to award the big green card to. Delighted when my co judge agreed to him going BIS.

2nd Bell’s SH CH WESTERULSTON JOHN another really good dog, he is so well made and
