JUDGES CRITIQUE

V (14,4a) 1 BV Goldberg & Keight's Sh Ch Ballyriver Band Of Gold, beautifully presented, in excellent coat & condition, having a long well filled in head, dark eye & a kind expression. Correct bone for size, good reach of neck into well laid back shoulders & good upper arm, well angulated hindquarters, moved sound & true on a good length of stride. If I am being critical she is just a shade long, pushed hard for RCC. Louise Jones (Judge)

N ENG F/C RETRIEVER A, 06/11/16
I was called in to referee as the bitch judge had handled the BVD recently. This was a close decision as they are both very good examples of our breed, & both were presented in excellent fit condition.
I awarded BV to the bitch, Goldberg & Knight's Sh Ch Ballyriver Band Of Gold, a bitch of correct size & type, presenting a balanced profile when standing. She has a lovely feminine head & dark eye which gives that soft expression. Good reach of neck, with well laid back shoulder & good length to upper arm, an excellent front. Level topline, strong rear quarters with moderate bend of stifle, & quality bone. However it was her movement that was the deciding factor for me. She moved straight & true both going away & coming towards me, with good profile movement.
