Novice Dog
Judge: G Howarth
"There were quite a few training rounds, some being better executed than others. The very best was J Allen and Rookie, wow, he is going to be amazing, he has drive coupled with accuracy, and Jess knows how to get the best from him. I do however suspect that he is going to give us all some laughs along the way, when he is wearing his gun dog head!"

Cornwall Gundog Club Open Show
October 2013
Large Munsterlander Open
1st and BOB
Judge: Mr. Richard Morris
Critique:
"A twenty month old dog with a good, lean, balanced head, kind expression and dark eye colour with correct ear set. Excellent bone and feet, strong, well boned pasterns, well ribbed and nicely coupled with some tuck up and will continue to improve as he matures in body. Nice wide croup, slightly sloping, with good bend of stifles, strengthening and muscling in the hind quarters with second thigh developed. Needed to settle and find his ideal pace on the move today as I know, from having judged him previously, he can do better. BOB congratulations."
Paignton Championship Show
August 2013
LM Post Graduate
2nd
Judge: Mr. Richard Morris
Critique:
"He possesses a good lean head with sufficient breadth of skull and pleasing kind, dark eye. Though somewhat narrow in front for me he proved to be the best mover in the class but did not have the strength of bone of the winner and did not carry the finish of coat on the day. Well balanced outline with excellent turn of stifles, good thick tail base, and still to benefit from maturity in the body and further muscle development."
