1st: 1942 SIDGWICK, Mrs Pauline & SIDGWICK, Mr Ian Paulian Where's Wally JW Sh.CM

So impressed with this very well presented 7 year old of the correct shape and size.  He is short and cobby with correct conformation and level topline. Good depth of chest with plenty of heart room. Low set ears with good fringes set on a good domed head and very dark round eyes completed the picture. He has good reach of neck, well muscled  with good angulation and moved with drive covering the ring easily. So well trained and at one with his owner.
2nd: 1927 GILLHESPY, Mrs Lorraine & MCNALLY, Miss Elaine Lorphil Treasure Island. J.W. Very handsome boy with expressive face set beneath a good domed skull and rise, eyes dark, good cushioning  with lips meeting and correct stop. Level topline, well ribbed with  good depth of chest. He moved well round the ring looking happy at all times.

These two boys were really playing their owner/handler up.  When settled this boy went the better of the two.   He is short coupled , good well dome head  with good rise, his dark eyes completed a very pleasing picture. Looked to be well bodied and well muscled but giving his handler a hard time on the move.

1st: 1913 BAKER, Mr R & KENDALL, Mrs M Headra's Jim Beam

Unfortunately, this lovely black and tail failed to co-operate with his handler. He is short with level topline  and absolutely full of himself which did not help his handler. Gleaming, straight, silky coat.  Sweet expression with correctly set dark eyes set in a good head, with good ear placement. Not a large dog but he was well muscled and balanced.  Once he has learnt to behave will have a good future.

1st: 1941 RIX, Mr Brian Ch Baldragon Fame Game at Ricksbury JW

What can I say about this lovely tri girl of correct size and proportions that has not already been said. She was beautifully presented, her head was domed with large, round dark expressive eyes, well cushioned muzzle, ears long which were set low. Good pigment  and correctly set nose pad. Short, cobby body which was well ribbed and well laid back shoulders.  Correct tail carriage on the move  and today she covered the ground really well with drive and confidence on her straight well boned legs. Together with my dog cc winner they presented the perfect couple of toy spaniels and a hard decision to chose between the two for BOB.
