At the grand old age of 6 months and two days Belatarr Hercules had his first two shows this weekend, and managed to win at both of them!

Saturday saw him awarded 1st AVSNC Puppy and Best AVSNC Puppy (with big brother Belatarr Charlie Parker taking 1st in Post Grad and then best AVNSC Gundog) under judge Brenda Hutchison at the Litchfield Canine Society Open.

The judge’s crit for him read:

“6 months baby boy, very together for age. Gorgeous expression. Good bone, front and feet, and correct front and rear angulation. Showed and moved well.”

Then on Sunday he was awarded 1st from a 9-strong AV Puppy class at City of Cambridge & County Canine Society Open under judge Russell Mosedale, whose super critque was:

“Wow, what a lovely boy, lots of promise, good head with correct skull shape & eye, good reach of neck leading into well placed shoulders, lovely forechest, well off for bone, tight feet, good length of back, moderate bend of stifle, well muscled for age, moved with drive”

This second show was also heavingly busy, crowded & noisy but young Herc took it all in his stride and rose to the occasion in grand style.

Many congratulations to Jenny & David for making such a wonderful start for Hercules – we are certain that there will be many more wins to come!
