Pointer Club of Scotland March 2016 Judge J Eyeington
Veteran : Fizz 2nd Place
8 year old O&W bitch, again in fine fettle. She has a shapely outline when stood, elegance and athletic. Liked her overall size. She has a kind feminine head, good length of neck, firm topline and good hindquarters.
Limit dog : Chomp 2nd Place
Liked this 4 year old O&W dog in profile, of a more elegant stamp than the winner, with a curvy and balanced shape in outline. Nothing is overdone and he is in hard condition. He held a firm topline and nicely angulated hind quarters, but he was let down on the move with his high tail carriage, moving well behind, but a little loose in front

Border Union Championship Show June 2016
Judge Joan Huxley Woodfleet
Pointer dog Limit : Chomp 2nd Place
o&W who when stacked is very similar to 1 just slightly shorter coupled, lovely depth of chest, he has the kindest of expression and is really powerful on the move exhibiting the appearance of endurance & speed shown in hard condition
Pointer bitch Veteran : Fizz 1st Place and Best Veteran in Breed
Talk about finishing the day on a high note - this was the most fantastic class of Veteran Bitches; six red cards would just about have covered it; they all sailed round the ring with heads held high & lashing tails. However judge it I must and this feminine O&W came out on top, she showed her socks off she is beautifully balanced in hard condition; maintains her top line on the move and really covers the ground. Muscular thigh with well turned stifle. The correct depth of brisket and spring of rib. She out moved the dog to get BV
