Carriegame Moonshine
This Black dog really filled my eye, he has everything I was looking for, excellent breed type with a good, balanced head - correct lenght of muzzle fully balanced with a good clean skull, correct amount of stop with a lovely eye and expression, masculine without coarseness. Well made, balanced all through without exaggeration. Lovely flow of neck into well placed shoulders, strong topline and good spring of rib, short coupled, quite a few dogs had too much angulation at the rear but not this boy he has the right amount of angulation in hindquarters, strong pasterns front and rear with right amount of flexibility. Round bone into good feet. In good muscular condition and this shows in his good movement. His double coat has the correct texture and depth and although starting to lose his coat he could not be denied the RCC. (Judge Lesley Dantinnes)

2nd 2/4/2022 Labrador Club of Scotland Cham show Open Dog Mrs J Woodall A lovely black out of a completely different mould to ‘1’ (Sh Ch Halshimoor Pitch Battle at Shanorrell). I liked them both but for different reasons. Loved his head which was well chiselled with an “eager to please” expression. He had a clean flowing outline with a good reach of neck, well angulated front and rear with a firm top line, good spring of rib, level top line with good tail set and carriage. In excellent coat and moved and showed well. Just preferred the size of ‘1’ today. I’m sure his day will come. Good luck for the future.

Super topline leading to a nice tail that did not stop wagging. Deep chest with well sprung ribs, well angulated fore and aft. Ample bone with tight feet. He was the best mover in the class for me today. I was pleased to award him Best Dog and BEST IN SHOW.

What a wonderful example of the breed. Black dog. His fitness and good construction enabled him to move steadily and true, very well handled. Masculine head, so very balanced, kind eye with appealing expression. He flowed well, neck and body in proportion, level topline and tailset, he used his tail well, wagging all the time. Straight front, good layback of shoulder, excellent spring and length of ribcage, very good backend, firm with good muscling, parallel from behind, well turned stifles with hocks low to the ground.

31/7/2021 Bath Championship Show Graduate Dog Mrs A Hobson (Meadowleigh) I really liked this young black at 3.5 years and he showed with plenty of character. Again, not a big dog but nicely balanced with a biddable expression and kind eye. He had pleasing strong bone into tight feet, and showed a good turn of stifle and second thigh. He was well ribbed back with strength through neck into shoulders, a level top line and an ever wagging tail. In super correct coat and carrying the right amount of condition. He covered the ground well and at a purposeful pace.
