1st		Lucoru Punchinello	Culling	Very much a baby but is very well made throughout and shows much potential at this stage of his development. Liked his size and balance. Good head piece with a very typical outlook, lean skull and correct head planes. Scores in front assembly, well sprung ribs for his age, pleasing topline along with excellent width of hindquarters. Good coat and skin. Still very babyish on the move but when he got into his stride moved in a positive manner covering the ground well, BPD.
2nd		Stowledge Soul of Blymara	Blythe	Another promising baby. Not quite the confidence and attitude of the winner on the day but I am sure with time his owner will have a lot of fun with him. Excellent bone and substance throughout for his age. Pleasing head, eye and expression. Strong short neck set in well placed shoulders. Good depth of chest, ribs carried well back and the best of quarters with a pleasing bend of stifle. A little unsure on the move at first but started to get his act together as the class progressed.

1st		Fiducia Cho Oyu at Miavita	Giles	Youngster who could not be denied top honours on the day. The standard asks for a squarely built dog with the length from point of shoulder to point of buttock equal to height at withers and that is what you get here. His correct shape is combined with the required solid construction and good strength of bone and a very typical outlook. Balanced head with a kind eye. Excellent layback of shoulder, good depth of chest with plenty of heartroom and powerful hindquarters that he uses to advantage on the move and a correct tailset. Very positive on the move, at times a little exuberant but he is a young dog finding his feet. Excellent skin and a good coat completed the picture, CC.
2nd		Fiducia Everest	Davies	Litter brother to the winner but not as forward in his development as his sibling. Liked his size and overall shape. Pleasing head, correct planes, good dark eye and that required large spongy nose which is such a trait of the breed. Broad chest reaching to the level of the elbows as the standard asks for. Best of coats of correct texture. Moved well but not the positive stride of the winner.

Post Graduate Dog	.	Dog (5 entries, 2 absent)	Owner	Critique
1st		Rubino Spinone del Mucrone with Riccini	Whittingham, Bexon & Wright	Another quality young dog who is just out of junior and I liked a lot. Just needs a few more months on his back and I am sure he will be knocking on the door for top honours. Another of good size with nothing over done here. Very typical in head, well balanced, lean skull with that ​required roof like appearance. Scores in front assembly standing on the best of legs and feet. Well developed body with a good spring of rib along with well made quarters. Thick skin and a harsh dense coat. Sound on the move.
2nd		Gradevole Buzzolai of Blymara	Blythe	Presents a very typical appearance throughout. Liked his shape, squarely built with lovely bone and substance but shows no sign of coarseness. Pleasing head piece with a good eye and expression. Very clean over his neck and shoulders. Firm well developed body with his ribs carried well back and a short strong loin. Best of coats. Moved on a free and easy stride.

Limit Dog	.	Dog (3 entries, 2 absent)	Owner	Critique
1st		Inostricani On a Mission	Hinton	Stood alone but a very worthy winner. Gave him BPD the last time I judged the breed and he has definitely fulfilled that early promise. Another who fits the standard well with the required square and robust appearance. So well balanced throughout with quality bone and excellent substance. Best of heads, correct divergent planes and a lovely eye with that almost human expression. Excellent front assembly, short muscular neck and a good layback of shoulder. Deep chest, well sprung ribs along with strong muscular hindquarters. Presented in first class order. A sound and powerful mover, Res.CC.

1st		Sh Ch Inostricani Bell Ragazzo via Krismoor (JW)	Littlemore	Great favourite of mine who I have done well before and was close up to the top winners today but just had to give way to the younger generation. Like his size and well balanced appearance. Pleasing head piece with a good eye and expression. Stands on the best of legs and feet. Excellent depth of chest with plenty of heartroom, well ribbed with a good width of quarters and a pleasing bend of stifle. As always presented in good coat and condition. Moved well on a ground covering stride.
2nd		Sh Ch Testaverde Enrico Caruso del Jocagil	Gill	Slightly different stamp and style to the winner, but a very worthy title holder. Presents a good shape both stood and on the move and another with the required square appearance. Balanced head, lean skull, dark eye and a pleasing expression. Strong neck that flows into well placed shoulders. Pleasing topline, short coupled and well made hindquarters. Good thick skin and correct coat texture. Sound on the move but not quite the positive action of the winner on the day.

Veteran Dog	.	Dog (2 entries, 1 absent)	Owner	Critique
1st		Sh Ch Larlila Morello	Blythe	Top class dog who has been such an ambassador for thebreed. Belies his age keeping a lovely shape both stood on the move. Presents such a typical outlook that just says Spinone. Excellent head piece, so well balanced, correct divergent planes with a lovely eye and expression. Well made front assembly, strong bone and feet and a broad chest of good depth. Correct topline that he holds on the move, well rounded quarters with a pleasing bend of stifle. Moved well. Unlucky to meet the Veteran Bitch on such form on the day.

1st		Stowledge Scilla at Incantevole	Kruglow	Lovely youngster who is so well built throughout, everything in the right place for her age and if she continues on these lines I am sure she will have a very promising future. Sweetest heads, so feminine with such a typical outlook. So clean over her neck shoulders with a good layback of shoulder and good return of upper arm. Excellent depth of chest for her age, well ribbed, deep and carried well back. Well developed hindquarters. Harsh close fitting coat and the required thick skin. Moved on a free and relaxed stride, BPB & BP.

Junior Bitch	.	Dog (1 entries, 0 absent)	Owner	Critique
1st		Fiducia Chamlang	McGregor	Presents a very typical outlook. Still a little immature but everything is there in the right place. Another of good size and is very well built throughout. Pleasing head, lean skull, a good eye and expression along with well set ears. Short strong neck, good layback of shoulder with good return of upper arm. Her topline has the correct gentle slope from withers rising to her loin, which she holds on the move. Well set tail and good width of quarters. Moved out and back on a good stride.

Post Graduate Bitch	.	Dog (7 entries, 1 absent)	Owner	Critique Not the easiest class to judge with quite a variation in type and ones whose movement let them down on the day or would have been placed higher.
1st		Connomar Ramacca with Bardantop	Guest	Easy winner in my opinion. She just says Spinone, nothing exaggerated here. Liked her size and balance throughout. Was presented in fit and hard condition which showed in her sound and positive movement. Good head, correct planes and a kind eye and soft expression. Very clean over the neck and shoulders, good spring of rib, short strong loin along with excellent strength of hindquarters. Thick skin along with a good harsh coat.
2nd		Limoncello Sunrise at Estover Z Niedzwiedziej Jamy (Gracie)	Lewsley	Typy bitch, slightly bigger stamp and style to the winner but still keeps a very feminine outlook. Pleasing head shape along with a dark expressive eye. Stands on good legs and feet, ​excellent depth of chest with plenty of heartroom, well ribbed and a good tailset and carriage. Moved well in a positive manner.

1st		Inostricani Sky's The Limit at Milisimo	Sandy	Quality bitch from all angles and was close up for top honours on the day. Was my BP last time I judged the breed and she is now the finished article who can compete with the best. Good size with the required square build. So feminine throughout but has the required strength and substance to complete the picture. Pleasing head piece, balanced with a good eye and expression. Excellent depth throughout, correct topline and well rounded quarters and a pleasing bend of stifle. Presented in first class order on the day. Sound on the move.
2nd		Inostricani Luisa	Stephens	Another very good one from this top kennel, they can certainly produce the goods! Presents such a balanced picture both stood and on the move and flows from head to tail. Best of heads with a kind eye and that big spongy nose that is such a trait of the breed. Strong firm body, quality bone throughout, good spring of rib and excellent width to her hindquarters. Best of coats and moved so soundly with that required pounding trot.

Res		Inostricani Athena	Boyes-Weston	-
	.
Open Bitch	.	Dog (4 entries, 0 absent)	Owner	Critique A very competitive class of four quality bitches.
1st		Sh Ch Inostricani Mima am Charluben (Nell)	Jones	Had to be on top of her game to take the class. Very typical throughout, has the required square appearance and built on clean and flowing lines. Excellent strength and substance but no mistaking she is a bitch. Lovely head, so well balanced, correct divergent planes and a kind eye with that almost human expression. Scores in front assembly, best of legs and feet along with a good depth of chest with plenty of heartroom. Correct topline and tailset and great strength of quarters with good drive from her hocks. All of this was rounded up with a harsh close fitting coat and thick skin. Free and relaxed on the move as the standard asks for, CC & BOB.
2nd		Annilann Temptress del Michiamo (JW) (Rosie)	Anderson & Mayne	Another favourite of mine who I have done well before and was up there in the mix for top honours on the day. Another of good size and is so beautifully balanced throughout with the required solid construction. Typical in head with a feminine outlook. Short strong neck set in well placed shoulders. Excellent spring of rib, short well muscled loin and well made hindquarters with a pleasing bend of stifle. A very sound and positive mover.

Veteran Bitch	.	Dog (3 entries, 0 absent)	Owner	Critique
1st		Sh Ch Bardantop Spells Chaos (JW)	Guest	One I have admired from both ringside and in the ring competing against her and I was not disappointed when I got my hands on her. She has kept such a lovely shape and was in super condition on the day and so belies her age. Fits the standard so well, vigorous, robust, squarely built and solidly made. Beautifully balanced head that just says Spinone with the kindest of expressions. Muscular neck, excellent layback of shoulder with a good return of upper arm that allowed her to move round the ring on that relaxed pounding trot which is such a trait of the breed. Well bodied and the best of quarters, Res.CC & BV.
2nd		Sh Ch Prottino del Vera by Dewdhala (Cicely)	Wagh	Another top class bitch. A worthy champion who was unlucky to meet the winner in such form on the day. Excellent shape and balance with lovely bone and substance but keeps a very feminine outlook. Good head with the correct divergent planes, dark eye and the best of expressions. Clean over her neck and shoulders, good legs and feet, correct topline that she holds on the move and good width of hindquarters. Moved well on a pleasing stride.
