Wattle has matured into a lovely bitch, Plenty of bone, great movement, lovely outline and still lots of attitude. Her show successes since her debut as a baby have culminated in her attaining her Australian Championship title at 12 months & Grand Champion at 3 yrs of age. 2011 Qld Lab Club Champ Show Best in Show This young bitch caught my eye on my first walk round the ring and she did not disappoint when I put my hands on her. My notes just say “quality throughout”. She has the most beautiful head and expression, a lovely clean reach of neck which led on to correct well placed shoulders. She has a good spring of rib and length of loin, excellent rear angulation. She was shown in full coat and superb condition. Her movement was second to none. In the challenge I was splitting hair between her and the open winner and on the final run round the ring she raised her game and excelled to win the CC and BIS. Judge-Anthony Allen (Allenies) [UK] 2012 7th Lab Nationals Intermediate in Show Smashing yellow, loved her type and balance really showing herself to advantage. Looked like a throw back 25 years or more, we do not seem to have this type at home now. I liked her head and expression though maybe not all modern judges would have seen them like this. A middleweight but just enough substance and bone. Showed herself off well. Did just enough on the move. Judge-Richard Edwards (Lasgarn Labradors) [UK] 2012 Gundog Society Runner Up Best in Show 2013 NSW Lab Club Champ Show A lovely Bitch in Tip Top condition. Super coat & well covered Otter tail, good all round angles, solid well bodied. Lovely head & expression with good pigmentation, moved & showed well. Judge - Mrs L Tooth (Ludalor) [UK] 2013 Vic Lab Club Champ Show Sweet yellow with a pretty head, very nicely put together. Good rib cage & chest, very good quarters & bend of stifle. Nicely balanced outline, moved & handled well. Judge - Caron Morton (Dakross) {UK} 2014 NSW Lab Club Champ Show #2 1st Open Bitch Yellow from the top drawer. Excellent breed type & never put a foot wrong. Feminine head with a kind, willing to please expression. Strong neck, level top line. Correct tail set & typical tail. Well sprung ribs. Powerful hind quarters which she used to advantage when on the move. Well-handled & presented. Delighted to award her the Reserve Bitch Challenge. Judge - Sussie Wiles (Richbourne) {UK} 2018 Adelaide Royal Best Neuter in Show 8 years old and has a lot of body on her, but her quality and type is instantly apparent. She has retained her breed qualities in big ribs, head and tail, although she was not in her best coat. Strode out well holding a firm topline. Easy to see why she is a Grand Champion. I see by the catalogue that she is by Salty Dog and she has inherited a lot from him. Judge - Frank Kane (Gundog Specialist) {UK}
