Open Bitch
1st Asquanne's Grania with Franaille JW Sh.CM. Stunning, elegant black bitch who stood away here. Typical outline as one would expect from this kennel

be denied. Pretty head, feminine but not too fine. Well set ears and lovely eye. Clean, lengthy neck to the best of fronts, well developed
forechest and ribbing. Level topline and strong over the loin. Very well angulated quarters to complement her front construction with good width of
second thigh. Drove from short rear pasterns with a merry air. Delightful, BOB.

Report by Stephen Hollings
Breeders Gundog
An excellent innovation to present the breeder stakes in this format. I had a full ring, impressive.
The winners were Webster's Cockers. These matched blacks were like peas in a pod and had quality in abundance.
Delighted to reward this clever breeder.
