The Newfoundland Club

"7yr Landseer. Pleasing profile outline but for me lacks breadth throughout. Good head proportions with small dark eyes. Muscular neck of good length into well laid shoulders with good return of upper arm but would benefit from more forechest. Straight front with round feet. Deep ribs and loin through to a nicely angled rear with a good turn of stifle. Good colour with a clear white. Moved true and easy with drive. Best Veteran Dog."

"Just 12mths this black youngster presents a very good outline. Broadening through head which is of correct proportions with well set ears and small dark eyes. Well laid shoulders with good return of upper arm and developing forechest. Straight front with good bone and round feet. Deep well sprung ribs, short loin to a well angulated rear. Super mover, free flowing, true with good reach and drive and correct tail carriage."

"15mth black. Another pleasing outline, slightly taller than 1st. Broad head with well set ears and dark eyes. Muscular neck flows into well made forequarters with a straight front. Level back over deep well-sprung ribs, strong loin to a well angulated rear. A little unsettled on the move today."

"2yr black. Well proportioned head with broad skull, small dark eyes and correctly set ears. Good length of neck into well made forequarters with well laid shoulders, return of upper arm and good forechest. Straight front with round bone. Deep chest with well sprung ribs to a short loin. Well angled rear. Moved ok, a touch close behind, proud of his tail and rather sluggish in today's conditions."

"A very nice looking, compact, 2yr old Landseer presenting a good outline. Broad through skull with correct head proportions and dark eyes, ears could sit higher. Well made forequarters with well laid shoulders, good return of upper arm and nice forechest. Straight front with round bone, feet ok. Deep chest with well sprung ribs and well ribbed back to a short loin. Well angled, broad muscular rear. Front movement let him down today but lovely reach and drive in profile with correct tail carriage."

"2yr black presenting a very nice outline and lovely to go over. Broad head of correct proportions, small dark eyes and well set ears. Very well made forequarters with well laid shoulders, good return of upper arm and good forechest. Straight front with round bone and good feet. Deep chest with well sprung ribs to a short loin, level back to a broad, well angled rear. True free mover with reach and drive, just had his tail bit low today but understandable given the heat."

"3yr black and presenting a similar outline. Pleasing head of good breadth and proportions with dark eyes and well set ears. Another with well made forequarters but I would like more forechest. Straight front with nice round feet. Deep well sprung ribs under a short back to a correctly angled rear. A little close coming towards and in profile showing good reach and drive, but spoilt his outline as he tended to hold his head down and tail up."

"A 3yr black presenting a classic outline and standing in full coat. Super head, broad in skull with small dark eyes and well set ears. Excels in forequarters with well laid shoulders, return of upper arm, good forechest, straight front with large round feet. Deep chest with well sprung ribs under a level back to a wide, well muscled and correctly angulated rear. Showed true fore and aft with reach and drive in the class and just did enough to win Best Dog but unfortunately the conditions beat him in the challenge where the girls out moved him and he had to settle for Best Opposite Sex."

"Another super dog, only 2 yrs old and presenting a lovely outline on the stand. Head broad through skull and of correct proportions with small dark eyes. Strong neck into very well made forequarters with good forechest. Straight well boned front with good feet. Deep well sprung ribs through a muscular loin to a well muscled and correctly angled rear. Super mover, true with reach and drive and correct tail carriage. Just preferred the outline of the Open winner in the challenge. Reserve Best Dog."

"See 2nd in Limit Dog."

"4yr brown. Another lovely dog of good shape. Correct through head with good breadth to skull, hazel eyes and correct proportions. Well made forequarters with straight front and good feet. Deep well sprung ribs under a level back through a muscular loin to a well angled rear. On the move he was true, clean, free with good reach and drive, lovely head and tail carriage."

"Lovely to see so many Landseers out. 4yr presenting a nice shape. Masculine head of correct proportions, broad skull and small dark eyes. Strong neck into well laid shoulders with return of upper arm. Straight front with good bone and round feet. Deep ribs, well sprung and back to a muscular loin. Correct rear angles. In between coats but good colour and markings. A true steady mover with reach and drive but I would like to see his head and tail both up a little more although conditions not favourable for the dogs today. Best Landseer."

"Just 13mths. Lots of maturing to do but full of promise, one to watch for the future. Head correct for age, good breadth to skull and muzzle, eyes need to tighten. Lovely forequarters with well laid shoulders and return of upper arm, forechest developing. Ribs well sprung and of good depth, short loin to a well angled rear. Good coat and markings. On the move he was free and steady, true all round with good reach and drive."

"Two very promising babies. 7mth black presenting a lovely shape, feminine head with small dark eyes and a cheeky look. Super forequarters with well laid shoulders and return of upper arm, forechest developing. Level back over well sprung ribs of good depth, deep loin to a well angled rear. Best mover of the two today, true coming and going, showing good reach and drive. Best Puppy In Show."

"7mth black with bronze tinge, another lovely outline and head. Eyes need to tighten. Well laid shoulders and good return of upper arm, deep chest and loin, level back and good rear angles. Moved true with drive if a little naughty at times."

Deep well sprung ribs back to a short loin under a level back. Wide muscular rear and good turn of stifle. Super mover with lovely head and tail carriage, true and easy with reach and drive. Showed well in the challenge to secure Reserve Best Bitch, Best Brown and ultimately Reserve Best In Show."

"12mth Landseer. Another promising youngster, pleasing head of good breadth and lovely dark eyes. well laid shoulders and good return of upper arm but lacks depth of brisket and tends to stand close in front. Good depth to back ribs, level back over deep loin through to good rear angles. Another good mover but tended to hold her head a bit low today."

"See 1st in Junior Bitch."

"A feminine 20mth black. Pleasing head with dark eyes, strong neck into well laid shoulders and return of upper arm. Straight front with good bone and round feet. Deep well sprung ribs, a little longer through the loin to a well angled rear. True on the move with reach and drive."

Feminine head of correct proportions, lovely small dark eyes and well set ears. Muscular neck into very well made forequarters with well laid shoulders, return of upper arm and good forechest. Deep chest and well ribbed back to a short muscular loin under a level back. Broad muscular rear of correct angles. She coped with the conditions today, powerful and flowing on the move with lovely head and tail carriage, true from all sides with good reach and drive. Fully deserving Best Bitch, Best Black and Best In Show."

"4yr black. Another quality bitch who just didn't have the enthusiasm of the winner today. Lovely shape with feminine head of correct shape and proportions with small dark eyes. Well made forequarters with well laid shoulders, straight front and good feet. Deep well sprung ribs, short loin and level back. Broad muscular rear of correct angles. Showed enough reach and drive but not as clean in front."

"2yr black and another very nice bitch of good shape. Well proportioned head with dark eyes. Well made forequarters with good forechest. Deep ribs, well sprung under a level back through a deep loin to a broad, well angled rear. A little erratic on the move today."
