Thank you to the Officers & Committee of Manchester Dog Show Society for the invitation to judge my first set of CCs. Thanks also to my efficient stewards and the exhibitors who gave me the opportunity to judge their dogs. It was lovely to see so many youngsters entered. One unfortunate observation that I feel I must mention is the overall cleanliness of a number of the exhibits. Tollers are a multipurpose gundog which should not be over groomed, however when in the showing they should be presented in clean coats.


Minor Puppy Dog (2 entries)

A lovely couple of pups to start off the day!

1stThearle ROSETTIA HELIOS
7 month old dog who presented a lovely outline when stood. Correct head for age with high set triangular ears giving him a typical Toller expression. He is balanced with good bone and substance for his age. Moved with powerful drive, and a constantly moving tail. He has time on his side for everything to come together.
2ndShore BRIZTOLLIE I HAVE A DREAM
Appeared more mature than first but only 8 months old. Another medium sized male with a typical Toller head. Still developing in body as he should be at this age. A close decision but just preferred the movement of first today.

1stBarker COEDHELYG HO TEE MACHINE
Presented in lovely coat and condition. Shorter on the leg than the second place but again has time on his side. Appealing head and expression, correct almond shaped eyes. Deep chest, well boned legs and tight feet. Positive on the move which won him BPD

1stParker & Hipkiss SKYSARIA BLAZE OF HOPE WITH DELTANDAMBA JW
Wouldn't want him any taller, still needs to mature all round. Head slightly wedged shaped with muzzle tapering to nose. Correct ears, well set almond shaped eyes with a playful expression. Nice straight bone. Moves well when he is steady but had a tendency to try and race his handler, he may benefit from being moved slightly slower.
2ndGibson DELPHOX GUISER
Medium sized male, correct head shape. Straight legs with strong bone. Well muscled needed to settle more today to give his best.

1stElkin CH TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO SGWC SHCEX
5 year old male who was my BOB the last time I judged, he has matured into a strong, powerful dog. Correct slightly wedged shaped head with a moderate stop. Portraying a kind expression from his almond shaped eyes that blended well with his coat. Triangular ears set high and well back. Strong neck leading into a well muscled body, well sprung ribs with brisket reaching to elbow. Stifles well bent. Balanced in movement with good reach and strong rear drive. Pleased to award to him the CC and ultimately BOB.

Masculine head with intelligent expression, correct triangular ears with rounded tips. Balanced angulation with level topline. Moved out well with the typical springy Toller movement, a close contender for the RCC.

2ndDalton ROSETTIA LADY MARMALADE
7 months and another who has everything in the right place for her age. A moderate bitch with nice straight bone. Had a tendency to relax her topline slightly today, and not as together on the move as first, it should all come together with time

1stWestwood TRAVELDA'S GENEVIEVE PINE AVEC EUSANIT (IMP USA)
A feminine bitch who was slightly unsure when approached today, nonetheless her handler worked with her to get the best from her.

Moved out well in all directions, both in the class and giving a little more in the challenge to take BPIB.
2ndHunt WAKADUZE DOTAME
Correct head, with high set triangular ears. She held herself well with a strong topline, just preferred the overall balance of first. Moved out powerfully to gain her placing today.

Another three year old bitch, of different type to first. She has a pretty expression with the typical Toller playful glint in her almond eyes. Balanced construction with good bone and feet. Moved well, but carrying a tad too much weight today.
