Here are some of Pingla's critiques......

 

SKC Championship show. May 2009

Headed a beautiful class but could not deny this young lady her first place, so eye catching with her balanced outline, elegant neck, well angulated front, good bone, neat feet, strong level topline, tailset & quarters, so well presented as always from this kennel. Judge was Mrs Janet Crang (Linoaks)


GRC of Northumbria Championship show. May 2009

Wow was my first impression, she really does have it all, her head is so gentle, the most perfect neck & shoulders into dead level topline and tailset, plenty of angulation, stands on the best of legs & feet, shown in full coat handled to perfection, topped it all with super movement. Seriously considered for top honours but of course at her tender age didn't have the level of maturity. nevertheless perhaps a record breaker in the making. Judge was Mrs Lynne Hennessy (Ritzilyn).

 

Boston & District Championship Show, January 2009

My star of the day, loved everything about her, just wish she was mine, gorgeous head and melting expression, excellent angulation, dead straight topline, with correct tail carriage, shoulders well laid back, angulation well in proportion, looked a picture standing and on the move, shown to perfection, CC & I  am certain there will be more to come. Judge was Mrs Wendy Gunner (Crowood)

 

Midland GRC Championship show, December 2008

Stood out for her overall balance, quality & femininity, well boned with neat feet & correct conformation, good length of neck flowing into level topline & correct tailset, on the move was positive and free striding, immaculately presented & handled. RCC. Judge was Mrs Rachel Rains (Gunhills)

 

Amsterdam winner show. November 2008.

Super bitch from any angle, attractive head and expression, lovely neck flowing into well laid shoulders, terrific bone, best of toplines, super quarters, short hocks, moves with drive and style, beautiful pale coat of correct texture, looks just right for this class, handled and presented to perfection, a credit to the owner. Judge Mr Henric Fryckstrand (Dewmist).

 

The Golden Retriever Club Championship show, July 2008

This was my 'wow' factor, quality pale bitch with exquisite head, elegant neck, lovely shoulders & upperarm, straightest of fronts, correct bone, lovely sweep of neck & level topline, correct tailset and carriage, copybook presentation , movement a joy to see, considered for top honours but beaten by maturity of excellent winners. Judge was Mr Bernard Catterall (Golmas)

Stunning feminine pale bitch of excellent balance and quality, in good coat & condition, pretty feminine head, good pigment, kindly expression, straight front, good length of neck, good forehand, well ribbed & short coupled, firm level topline, strong well angulated quarters, correct tail-set, moved correctly, very well presented and handled, Best puppy in show!

This beautifully presented well handled youngster stood out in this class of quality puppies, delightful head with dark pigment & soft expression, very well constructed throughout giving a balanced outline, straight, well boned, legs & tight feet, reachy neck blending into well laid back shoulders, deep, short coupled body, level back & good tailset, moved with plenty of drive. BPB & later, with agreement of my co-judge, BP. Judge was Mrs Judith Edwards (Guella)
