Gavic Gold Bullion of Leiborschy X Lanspar Tarkony of Leiborschy

Her mother in nearly all ways, we have never had such a willing and able pupil although a certain amount of devilment accompanies everything .She is a complete busy body and nothing escapes her attention, its no co incidence that Lajka rhymes with Trouble Maker and her favourite past time, apart from pursuits in the Shooting Field is chewing Bracco ears ! Lajka really is a benchmark for us as a super dual purpose Wire with a corect wire coat and moderation all through. We are delighted with Lajka's first litter of 7 puppies to Bayside Brokk of Lanokk, born May 2006, three of the progeny have been awarded Puppy Group placings at Open Shows and one a Reserve Best Puppy in Show at under the age of 9 months. Lajka had her second litter to Leiborschy Wilfek in June 2008, 2 bitches and seven dogs. Three of Lajka's second litter are in the ring and achieving success and her progeny are returning very low hip scores . Lajka qualified for Crufts 2010 at Manchester after a break of 10 months out of the ring by winning Post Graduate Bitch and qualified for Crufts 2011 with a 2nd in Limit at Crufts 2010. Lajka is a regular member of Leicester Square Shoot, North Norfolk.

We have lost our leading lady and MD,

her pain was our pain and neither we, nor she, could bear it any longer.

I was there at her first breath and with her at her last....... a privilege

Goodbye our funny, bossy, trouble maker, Lajka

"another really first class bitch of very good type, but a little out of coat I thought, built on flowing lines, strong outline, good head shape and eye colour, stop and ear carriage, good neck and shoulders, has a mature body shape, good muscletone. Not quite the strength in hindquarters compared to 1."

Judge Chris Bexon Crufts 2010

"Another lovely type of bitch with dark eyes giving such a kind expression, good neck into clean shoulders, ribbing reaching well back, super hindquarters, very sound moving bitch but a bit short of coat compared to the winner"

Judge Sharon Pinkerton LKA 2009

"quite similar to 1 with good head planes, strong neck, good lay of shoulder, straight legs, arched feet, moderate tuck-up. Would have preferred more beard."

Judge B Stamp HWVA Show September 2009

"Leiborschy Lajka, 5 years, liked her type, good make & shape, pleasing head & eye, feminine expression, quarters good, mature in body & muscletone, tight feet, moved out with drive, shown in good coat & condition"

Reserve Best of Breed

Judge Wendy Lovell (Ayita) Coventry Gundog Nov 2005

"Litter sister to the Open winner. I really loved her shape and head so feminine. She sadly just lacked the confidence of her sister on the move, very close call between the two"

Reserve Best of Breed

Judge Teresa A'len Mid Herts Gundog November 2005

"Have watched this 2 year old youngster with interest, she is maturing slowly but surely. Stands over her ground on strong feet. Moderately arched necks leads to a straight front and good topline. Elegant, liked her body length to height ratio. Had decent quarters and moved soundly but lacked the enthusiasm of 1. Good body coat but lacks facial furnishings which can give the appearance of plainness"

Judge Chris Guest Midland Counties 2005

"realised at the end of the class that 1 and 2 were litter sisters. Lovely type, slightly shorter coupled than 1. Good head, lovely expression, well boned limbs, good feet, lengthy neck into clean shoulders, good ribbing, correct topline, croup & tailset, moved well coming and going and in profile, coat of good texture"

Judge Sharon Pinkerton Crufts 2005

 

"lovely feminine puppy, coat developing well and lovely colour. Sweet head and expression, nice front, good shoulder placement. Moved well holding top line. Just needs to mature"
