WELRC 2018
VB (11,2a) 1 Rogers' Woodmist Saffron. At nearly 12 years old all I can say is wow. Beautiful old-fashioned type who is full of quality and still showing herself to advantage. Feminine head and expression, good reach of neck. Well constructed throughout with correct angulation front and rear. Nice deep body and still maintaining her top line. Super double coat and otter tail. Shown in excellent condition and moved exceptionally well. Over the moon to see her go Best Veteran in Show. So unlucky not to have gained her title.

Veteran Bitch A strong class
1st Roger’s Woodmist Saffron a very lovely bitch who wears her years lightly somehow she is still at the very top of her form. Her kind head, good coat and tail give her all the essentials of correct breed type. She was shown in great condition and moved exceptionally well which won her the class and meant I seriously considered her for higher honours.

Veteran 8 (3abs)
1 Rogers Woodmist Saffron. (Rocheby Old Smokey x Abbeystead Wren in Woodmist) Sound as a bell and looking and moving like a youngster. 10 year old, correctly made, darker yellow in great condition. Excellent balance from nose to tail. Honest character. Pleasing head, clean neck of ideal length. Correct strong but feminine angles fore and aft. Well placed shoulder and upper arm. Well boned, with good legs and feet. Barrel rib, level topline short coupled with strong quarters, good second thigh. Well set on tail. Moved freely and happily. A top class bitch who is lasting so well. So unlucky not to have gained her title in the past having previously won 2 CCs

1 Rogers' Woodmist Saffron Gorgeous 8 year old yellow girl who is now in her prime and absolutely fit for function. She has the most beautiful head with a melting expression from those lovely eyes. Excellent neck into well placed shoulders, good length and angle of upper arm . Good spring of rib, level topline which she holds on the move, strong loin and excellent quarters. Well let down hocks. Otter tail well set on. Good double coat of correct texture. Good bone and feet. Stands true all round. Presents a beautifully balanced picture. She moves very well, covering the ground with ease. Shown in top notch muscular condition. Her owner tells me that she has recently finished a picking up season where she worked for 21 days, some of them back to back. I was delighted to award her the CC."

"My joy of the day was awarding the CC (her first & her owners first) to Woodmist Saffron from veteran at 7 years young. How she has not already attained her title I will never know. Her conformation, balance & movement was second to none. I do not usually use this cliché ‘admired from the ringside’ but in Saffron’s case this had to be mentioned.
V (5,1a) 1 Rogers’ Woodmist Saffron, my little star of the day. When you have a dog or bitch with the nearest you will get to conformation that is perfection, then surely us as judges must sit up & pay attention. I would not change her in any way. After viewing her in profile, see her move with such positive, correct, parallel driving action & extension, along with her super reach of neck, correct coat & tail, bone & feet, that just left her head. As soon as I looked into that beautiful intelligent face I knew I had found my CC winner. The owner afterwards informed me that she had been on a hard days picking up on the previous Thursday & I believe she has working test awards to her name. With my co-judge, Mrs Coode, we were in full agreement in awarding her BIS & of course BV"
