I would like to thank the HWVA for their invitation to judge their Open Show and Colin Woodward for being my very efficient Steward and not least the exhibitors for their entry and sportsmanship.
The usual varieties in coat still is to the fore but size did concern me with many exhibits, although very well constructed, there was just too much of them so breeders need to watch this for the future of this lovely breed. Some quality youngsters coming along which is good to see.

The Hungarian W/h Vizsla Association held an open show where BIS was Farnfield Pussy Galore of Galicar; BOS, Moricroft Mojito; & BP, Herlinga Herleva.
MPD (3) All three with such potential & plenty to like. I Rickman’s Herlinga Herveus, while head is still needing to develop. Scored in harsh coat texture, firm front pasterns & tight feet; 2 Hibbert’s Cwsscwyn Perchanze To Dream to Mindszenty, I liked his head & expression, length of rib & short loin. Just needing to firm up in front pasterns & quarters, coat texture still needing to harshen; 3 Scourfield’s Danton Senator.

Could have tighter feet; 3 C Choritzer.
LD (6) I Baker’s Kenmillix King Of Athens at Travaillant, grand dog, all male, liked his head & alert expression, correct length/height body proportions, strong neck into firm topline, well ribbed, strong loin, excellent coat texture & furnishings, outstanding for temperament, moved well for his handler; 2 Upton’s Tragis Red Bear, another grand dog with correct body proportions & properties, correct harsh coat texture, liked his expression.

Even at this age good spring & depth of rib, short strong loin, well muscled angulated quarters, looking perfectly balanced, in excellent coat of correct texture, confident temperament & then moved true, very impressive in profile. BP; 2 Holman’s Silvanus Modesty Blaze, the most sweet expression, feminine but with sufficient substance, good length of rib, short loin, balanced quarters, correct coat texture, not carrying any excess weight, very happy on the move; 3 Morgan & Schofield’s Cwsscwn Chanzy.
PB (9) I Rickman’s Kidson Xcels at Herlinga, impressive outline, good eye, ear shape & set, strong neck, good length & angulation of blade & upper arm, good length of rib, correct coat texture, moved true, impressive in profile with excellent head & tail carriage; 2 Trow’s Cwsscwn Clazique at Winterwel, lovely feminine youngster but with sufficient substance, the sweetest of expressions, good body proportions & properties, correct texture coat.

PGB (12) Good typy class. I Guest’s Moricroft Maple via Bardantop, won this class, not only on her well constructed body, solid muscular condition, really harsh texture coat & good furnishings but also her attitude, absolutely solid, determined biddable, gave the impression she would do anything for her owner, moved true, covered the ground in profile, gave the impression of a working gundog; 2 Tompson’s Moricroft Mata Of Love, very feminine, lovely gentle, alert expression, clean arched neck into firm topline, mature, well ribbed body of correct proportions, in full coat of harsh texture, good furnishings, sound on the move; 3 Smith’s Tragus Lily Of The Mohawks.

Could have been more positive in rear movement; 3 Lawson’s Riannor Lenci.
OB (4, I ) I Smillie’s Farnfield Pussy Galore of Galicar, thought her just outstanding, the best of expressions, alert but gentle, liked the length/height ratio or her strong, well constructed body but still very feminine, strong arched neck into firm topline, good length & angulation of blade & upper arm, good length, depth & spring of rib, strong loin & quarters, in harsh texture coat, good furnishings, showed her biddable temperament by moving with such soundness for her new handler, good tailset & carriage.

Not quite the tail carriage of I . RBB; 3 Summerfield’s Ayita Wedding Day of Miadsc.

FT (3) Pleasing to see this very important aspect of the gundog world proving that the reason a breed was produced was for its working function. Beauty & type should also have the ability to perform their functions. I Guest’s Bardontop Rochester Gramd, strong masculine dog; 2 May’s Ragnolds Meadow Brown of Amiryck, brains plus beauty; 3 Caine’s Kenmillone Chimbata.
Brace I Guest’s dog & bitch, nicely matched, similar head & body, moved in unison.
