Winner of Baby Puppy Class at the Christmas 2018 match night ~ Barking Mad Ringcraft training.
Manfield & District Canine Society Open show April 2019 ~ Judge Mr Peter Moorby
Best Puppy in Breed and a group3 placing
Judge’s Critique ~
Haywood-Ridgeway’s,
Luccombe Strawberry
Fizz, 7 months, black
spotted bitch, a ‘raw baby’
but had much quality, I was
‘splitting hairs’, personally
preferred this type, however,
could not deny the
movement in 1st placing.
More compact in size, of
correct height and probably
the best front of all present
today. Dense black spotting,
with a good dark eye, just
needs to settle on the move
but, she was just being a
puppy. Another who should
do well in the future
Judge’s Critique ~
Haywood-Ridgeway’s,
Luccombe Strawberry
Fizz, Quality puppy, with just
the right amount of puppy
fat for her age, evenly
decorated with black 50p
sized spots, well set-on
spotty ears fringed with
black edges, intelligent
expression, well angulated
without being overdone, not
too sure about the rain but
moved well once out in it.
Looks to have a bright
future, pushed hard for top
honours. Later learned she
has same father as the
BPIB, no wonder they
looked so similar.
Judge’s Critique ~Haywood-Ridgway’s
Luccombe Strawberry Fizz. This 9 month old
black bitch makes an impressive outline in
profile. Gorgeous, feminine head with the
darkest of eyes and mischievous expression.
Well placed ears which she uses to good effect.
Good length of neck into nicely laid shoulders
and good front construction. Excellent bone,
straight fores and tight cat feet. Well sprung ribs
that are carried right back. Level topline into
correct tailset. Excellent rear angulation, not
overdone, balanced with her front. Musculature
perfect for her age and she still has the look of a
puppy with good body covering. She was
extremely positive on the move, head down
reaching forward as she covered the ground
driving from her strong hocks. A very sound
bitch with excellent spotting to finish the picture.
Pleased to award her Best Puppy and see her
take Puppy Group 4.

Haywood-Ridway,
Luccombe Strawberry
Fizz, 8 month, black bitch.
Very nice puppy, who
enjoyed her time in
the ring. Very well put
together, good outline,
nice neck, good
shoulders, good feet and
beautiful topline. One
who is sure to have a
bright future.
Judge’s Critique ~
Haywood-Ridway,
Luccombe Strawberry
Fizz, Beautiful 9 month
puppy bitch, very flash
and striking, pretty head
and expression, the best
of tight cat feet, she’s just
my type, should have a
bright future.

spotting, responded well
to her handler
Judge’s Critique ~
Haywood-Ridway, Luccombe
Strawberry Fizz, 11 mth old
black bitch, Pretty feminine
head with correct dark eye,
well set on broken ears,
correct bite. Nicely arched
neck, ample chest, level
topline leading to a well set on
tail. Excellent cat feet. Lovely
pigment. She was a bit
unsettled on the move initially
but settled to show good drive
Judge’s Critique ~
Haywood-Ridway,
Luccombe Strawberry Fizz,
10 months, Typical puppy,
outgoing and wriggly which
is great to see, her tail never
stopped wagging despite
the weather. This BW bitch
is balanced on the stand
lovely and straight in front
and good rear angulation.
She has a sweet expression
and correct head set on to
an elegant neck. She moved
with a good drive for a
youndster but in the
challenge she was bouncy
and lost movement
otherwise she would have
given RBOB a run for her
money. BP

in firm condition and such
a happy responsive girl.
Attractive head and dark
eye. Pleasing lines and
underlying construction.
Tidy and coordinated
movement.
Judge’s Critique ~
Haywood-Ridway,
Luccombe Strawberry Fizz,
Black spotted bitch similar
age to 1. Pretty head with
dark eye. Attractive spotting
throughout giving a clean
outline. Well bodied with
plenty of substance. Has
many of the same attributes
as 1, but couldn’t match 1
on the move.
