"Sound moving bitch with right amount of bone and good feet, very feminine, showing a beautiful expression, coat of rich colour and texture, good front and depth of chest."

Judge Karina Le Mare Southern Counties June 2009

" I would like to thank all of the competitors for supporting The Gamekeepers classes. We had a wonderful entry with an excellent variation across all the classes. I was particularly impressed with the AOV Sporting Spaniel and AV Pointer Setter HPR classes ( might be a thought to the split the latter classes).
The quality was outstanding and it was a shame that I could only award 5 places in each class. Sound movement and good conformation is a must in a gundog who works throughout the season to allow the stamina to complete their appropriate function all day long and this had a lot of bearing on my placements........

"it was a pleasure to go over this breed and a credit to the owner for entering her and also working her. Youngster whom I hope has a promising future . Lovely wire coat and her colouring stood out under the lights , lovely expression and skull well proportioned with a good stop , well muscled neck of good length with shoulders laid back, body well proportioned with a level back slightly sloping croup towards the set of tail, strongly well developed body with well sprung ribs, well angulated hindquarters"
