Minor Puppy Bitch : 1

Puppy Bitch : 5

1.Melville  Tsruhnova Tarkheena,  BPIS, Balanced mature Gordon bitch outline with good bone and substance, liked her width & depth of forechest & brisket.

Limit Bitch 12 (3)

1. Frew  Dunfionn Rysa, A mature bitch with a happy disposition, balanced outline, well-proportioned head with a kind dark eye,  well off for bone and coat, correct angulation for & aft. She is strong with a deep brisket and level topline, she moved out well to win this class, in the challenge her close hind movement let her down.    

2.   Kilnrae Party Time, Not quite as mature as the winner and I would prefer a little more work to her head but saying that it is of good proportion, she has a good topline and adequate angulation fore & aft. Lovely colour, a little more coat would complete the picture. She moved well and used her tail correctly

2. Macara  Sh Ch Cromasaig Bedazzled JW, Different in type & a little out of coat so not as balanced today as the winner. She has a slightly stronger but well-proportioned head with a kind expression she has lovely low set ears .  She is not quite as clean over her shoulders as I would like but a good width to her chest, she is deep in brisket & rib and has a lovely width to her hind construction with flat bone throughout, she drove round the ring using her tail.

Veteran Bitch: 4 (1)

1. Moore  Gadhelic Spirit Of The Celt JW  CC, BOS, Res BIS As a slow maturing breed she has got there now !  Another Weight Carrying Hunter & Gordon Setter she is built for endurance not speed and stands over the ground on firm feet. Pleasing head proportions with a kind accepting eye, low set on ears, clean neck into laid back shoulders, straight and well developed front with elbows let down & under her, correct flat bone, she is deep in brisket back rib, correct & strong in loin and holds a steady topline. She moves with a ground covering pace propelled by her well-constructed rear, she has a good colour and enough coat to complete the picture.

2. Reid  Dunfionn Morar At Diersett, at 9yrs she can still show them, well made with a pleasing head, well off for bone good tight feet, well angulated throughout, moved soundly &  freely

3. Cuthbertson  Lainnireach Whisky Lass


Special Vintage Bitch: 6 (4)

Both these girlies were carrying a little too much weight which showed in their dropped toplines & movement either too sluggish or a little unsound but at 10 & 10.5 I accepted this.  Both had lovely head proportions with soft appealing expressions, both had correct bone, good feet and short hocks.

1. Cuthbertson  Gaidheal Tosca Of Lainnireach,

2. McErlean  Carrochan Suilvenbeag
