Driffield (49th) - 23/08/2025	Lesley Coldwell (Lucoru)
I have to commend the Society & Committee for their organisational skills combining both the 49th show & this year’s show, it can’t have been an easy task but everything seemed to run smoothly, thankfully the weather was kind. Not a large entry but I was very pleased with the quality throughout the classes & thank the exhibitors for the chance to assess their dogs. I was thrilled to see my BOB win Gundog Group 3 under Richard Bott, well done!

1st		Affilato Jump The Gun	Clark	Good head & expression with the desired divergence of head planes, ochre eye colour, ear set correct. Scissor bite & good depth to muzzle. Prominent occiput & good crest to neck, shoulder blades set well apart. Correct top & underline with good tailset & carriage, thick skin. Prominent prosternum & good angles fore & aft with good oval boned legs. He was well muscled all through & moved very steadily round the ring. I preferred his coat texture & colour to that of his litter brother who took second. In the lineup, I was very happy to award him the RDCC, but was very disappointed he didn’t stay to challenge for BP.
2nd		Affilato Jump With Style at Rydonmist	Beecham & Sharp	Another stylish pup from this kennel. Lovely expression, correct head planes, scissor bite, depth of muzzle. Correct topline & tailset and carriage, well muscled all through & covered the ground well. Good bone & prominent prosternum, balanced angles front & rear. Two very nice pups who will change places often.

1st		Quebaikei Tartan N Tweed	Burrows	Smart looking brown roan dog with the brown being a good shade, balanced outline. Grouchy expression, good head planes, large spongy nose, correct scissor bite, deep muzzle. Good topline, tailset & carriage, good bone, big feet & thick skin. Not carrying much coat but it was a harsh texture. Well muscled & moved with purpose around the ring.

1st		Diggmere Tiger Swallowtail (JW ShCEX OSW)	Duncan	Upstanding orange roan dog in his prime, square balanced outline. Typical head, lovely roman nose, masculine expression but not coarse, ochre eye colour, ears set on level with eyes. Short muscular neck with good crest, shoulder blades set well apart, excellent topline, tailset & carriage, good underline. Balanced angles fore & aft, well muscled, moved out on a positive stride. Strong bone & big feet. A bit lacking in coat but what he had was the correct coarse texture, lovely thick skin. Pleased to award him DCC.
2nd		Sh Ch Affilato You Can Bank On It (JW)	Clark	Top class male with a lovely expression enhanced by good furnishings & correct eye colour. Strong neck, with a good crest & slight divided dewlap. Good coat texture & thick skin, coat slightly soft on legs. Well muscled powerful mover, but felt he lost his topline slightly on the stack & he is a tad longer in loin than 1st place. Tailset is good but he does tend to flag it slightly on the move. A worthy Ch, but at almost 3 years old, I feel there is still more to come in what is a slow maturing breed, he will have many more successful days.

1st		Inostricani Mabel at Fossundale	Kay	Very pretty bitch with classic head & eye, good earset. Short strong neck set into good shoulders. Balanced in outline, topline, tailset & carriage all good, good belly line. Good musculature which showed in her steady movement. Decent bone & neat feet. Coat coming through but still a little soft at present, lovely thick skin. MY BPiB.

1st		Karankawa Kashira	Hutt	Well furnished face with a kind eye of good colour, ears set on level with eyes. Divergent head planes, spongy nose & scissor bite with good depth to muzzle. Balanced outline although slightly longer in loin at present, decent topline & tailset. Carrying a heavier coat than some, but it was a great texture, thick skin. Good musculature & decent movement although she was checking out what had been over the ground previously, shortening the lead helped.
