The NSW Golden Retriever Championship Show - Sunday 7th September 2008 Judge Mr R Edwards - Lovehayne UK
2nd Veteran Dog Critque - Balanced and symmetrical impressive dog caught my attention with his active and animated powerful movement. Straight front and cat like feet. Good length of scapula and matching length of upper arm – part of the reason for the reach of forehand. Moved satisfactorily for his age.

Sire of Baby In Show, Puppy Bitch in Show. Judge - Mrs Ann Hagger UK "Fairfield" Critique - "Another lovely dog quite different to the winner but f excellent quality. Presented a lovely picture in outline and I was not disappointed in him when went over him. Beautiful cream coated mature dog that has a lovely head with a super expression which was both appealing and kind. He had very good angles front and rear with a solid, level top line. He was shown in excellent coat and condition. He used his quarters well which showed in his strong driving movement, covering the ground quite effortlessly. Very pleased to award him the Reserve CC."

Reserve CC and 1st Place Open Dog Judge - Mrs Chris Ashton UK "Willowlawn" Critique - "Was really surprised when I read the catalogue & discovered who this stunning boy was. Bears no resemblance to the callow youth that left our shores! Has matured into a beautiful dog, now in his prime. Loved the way he combines elegance with strength, totally balanced looks equally good from all angles & on the move. A very worthy RCC winner, presented & handled to perfection."
