"Beautiful shape & movement, well made all through, lovely head, super balance, good angles throughout, correct pelvis & topline, super stride. Still young & with full maturity will be even better." Frank Kane, November 2000
"A super ambassador for the breed with his abundance of desired breed points, terrific ring presence, and has that little extra that draws the eye to him as soon as he appears in the ring. Strong dog of masculine appearance with lovely head & expression, super neck & forehand and in super coat & condition. Great bone, depth of body and substance, well muscled. A really nice example of the breed and it was particularly pleasing to note that several of the class winners were his progeny. Looked very impressive in the Group Competition at the end of the day." Dr Ron James, September 2001

Best Of Breed, CRUFTS 2024
4 CC's (3 with BOB) and 1 reserve CC to date.
"Carnoustie Let The Game Begin (AI), Imp Australia. Loved his overall balance and outline. Head balanced with parallel planes, deep in muzzle, lovely eye and expression. Neck long, set well into sloping shoulder. Chest deep and well ribbed back, loin strong, hindquarters broad, well turned to short pasterns and good feet. When moved at a steady pace he shows great carriage with an easy ground covering reach and drive. Presented in super coat and condition. CC and Best of Breed".
Mr David Bell, Blackpool Championship Show, June 2023.
"Both my dog CC and bitch CC winners really showed many exhibits how to move correctly with drive and true covering the ground movement, with correct foot fall. It was splitting hairs for BOB, but the dog kept his topline throughout, which was the deciding factor today. Thank you for bringing them.
OD (13, 0) This was certainly a class of male Gordon Setters to remember, making it extremely difficult to shortlist. Some exhibits just need a bit more time to fully mature, and some were not quite as free in movement, but it was no disgrace for any of them not to be shortlisted and placed. Thank you for bringing them.
1) Newton & Cornum & Timmermann’s, Int Ch/Sh Ch Carnoustie Let The Game Begin (AI) (Imp Aus), top size male of 4 years who still has time to fully mature as would be expected from this breed. Balanced head showing no coarseness, with low set ears, clearly defined stop and dark eyes. Strong neck leading into correct shoulder placement which flowed into level topline and correct croup. Ribs well sprung showing lung room. Correct flat bone but would like a clearer tan. Correct bend of stifle which was well muscled together with short hocks which he used to cover the ground, showing strong driving movement using his tail to complete the picture. DCC and BOB."
Mrs Frances Boxhall, Laurelhach Gordon Setters, CRUFTS 2024
