Critiques:

Labrador Retriever National -Sydney,  May 2026

Judge - Mrs S Walton (Gallybob Labradors, UK)

Best in Show, Challenge dog, Open in Show

I just loved this yellow. He stood there showing off his balanced outline. He has the gentlest of heads yet still masculine with a good width of skull and his ears set on just right. His head was balanced, with a good length and depth ofmuzzle, and was placed onto a strong neck which continued through his firm top line down to the tip of his tail. He has a correct front construction and a good depth of body as well as good strong hindquarters. Excellent bone which reached right down to his pasterns and well formed feet. He did
not disappoint on the move as he powered round the ring as if he owned it. I was pleased to award him Best Dog and Best in Show.

 

July 2024 - Labrador Retriever National, SA. Judge: Sven Slettedal, Fieldvalley Labs, Norway
Yellow strong dog, with good balance and nice proportions. Masculine, of correct size. Masculine good
head with nice expression. Long powerful neck placed upon a well angulated front. Strong topline.
Could have had a better angulation in hind legs. Correct tail set. Excellent coat and tail. Moved alright.

 

August 2022 - Labrador Retriever National QLD. Judge: Becci Hodge (UK)

I really fell for this boy and he was in my final 4 at the end. I loved his size and balance for his age. Gorgeous head, masculine yet kind with good eye and pigment. Lovely flow of neck into topline and tail. Clean well angulated front. Good rib and body which will continue to mature. Correctly angulated hindquarters. Excellent coat. Moved out well with reach and drive. Will follow him with interest.

 

June 2022 - Labrador Retriever Club Of NSW #1. Judge: Myra Thomas Rhodes

Stylish youngster, well boned and bodied up. Lovely head and neck blending well into shoulders. Moved well and full of himself with super lashing tail. Just starting to lose his jacket.

 

June 2022 - Labrador Retriever Club Of NSW #1. Judge: Noelene Dodd

16 month yellow of good size. Built on clean lines, very kind head in good coat. Used tail on the move, nice feet. Moved well.

 

May 2022 - Victorian Labrador Retriever Club. Judge: Kim Tosi (QLD)

Yellow male with a good masculine head. Nice length of neck and good topline and tail set. Very good tail and moved soundly. Would have liked to have seen a little more angulation front and rear but overall a nice breed type.
