I have judged this dog previously but nearly two years on he has improved further, he is mature, impressive, and at his peak. He has an excellent head, correct skull shape defined median line and typical spinone human expression. Super forehand, deep chest and correct topline. He is strong and muscular over croup and hocks are broad and strong. Shown in super coarse dense coat with proper furnishings on brows and beard. His movement is accurate and powerful and he has a great rapport with his handler, shown in pristine condition. My CC winner and BOB and delighted to see him take Gundog Group 3. |

6 yr dog of some quality and one of I remember watching him in the ring several times when he was a youngster, he makes a pleasing picture on the stack, robustly built and in fit condition, he stands on strong oval bone and compact feet although not quite as true as the winner, short crested neck fitting into well laid shoulders, body is square with deep chest and well sprung ribs and he is a powerful mover covering the ground with ease. A close decision between these 2 lovely boys. |

For me the star of the day, stunning dog who depicts the breed type. Another with excellent harsh coat and excellent muscle. Best of heads with a lovely kind expression, good neck into clean shoulders, has the square appearance you look for in the breed. Moves true and with power and style, sound as a pound and delighted to award him CC and BOB. |
