~~ HAYDENGOLD GOLDEN RETRIEVERS ~~

Critique - Junior Dog, 2nd Archer’s Haydengold Just A Rumour At Sunandair JW - Lighter gold than 1 and well-developed framework for his 12 months. Can stand foursquare with a pleasing outline when he concentrates but I would prefer a little less body length overall. Good neck and set of neck, brisket depth and balanced angulation. Moved well with good width between his hocks when he was focused on maintaining a straight line. His boyish personality certainly made me smile!

Critique - Puppy Bitch -  1st List’s Haydengold Gossip Girl JW. Animated 12 month old who is maturing very nicely, should have a bright future. Not in the best of pale coats today but displayed a stunning clean balanced outline, attractive feminine head with dark pigment & eye, straight front legs & good feet, strong clean neck, excels in front angulation with a good amount of chest. Her front is nicely balanced with her rear quarters with correct amount of second thigh & straight rear pasterns. Good tail set & carriage. Moved very well with plenty drive & length of stride, although she can lower her head which can temporarily spoil her outline. Very well handled. BP & BB

Critique - Puppy -2nd . List’s HAYDENGOLD GOSSIP GIRL Another cream young lady and just over six months of age. Not yet as together as one, which is to be expected at this young age, but without a doubt she is so full of quality! There is a lot to like about her, including her feminine head, straight legs with super bone, tight feet and just as 1st, she has an excellent length of leg. Another one with a dead level topline and excellent reach of neck. She wasn’t as settled on the move and I think she needs a bit more time fully show herself off, however there is no rush, and I am sure she will be a shining star in the future.

Critique - Open Bitch - 2nd List’s HAYDENGOLD TIME TO REMEMBER Another super bitch in this class and without a doubt the two winners could easily swap places at any other time. She is so well constructed with her super length of neck, pretty head with just enough stop, super layback of shoulder and firm topline. Just as 1st, she excels in length of leg and is as moderately angled. She has some maturing to do and more coat to grow, but I can honestly say she was one of the best movers today. I was truly spoilt in this class and not surprisingly this lovely lady went onto get RBOB.
