proud to be a owner and breeder of flatcoaed retrievers today after jim and jet won the gundog group at crufts 2011
all the best for sunday  jet and jim for best in show,

Just watched the final judging of the gundogs on Crufts TV (having to being overseas!! Grrr!!!).
I'm not too proud to say I shed a little tear.
That dog is just so handsome.  Perfect. :)
Can't wait to watch more!

Thought he was beautiful, also surprised myself but picking 1st & 2nd in the group and I always say I am no good at gundogs. Also loved the black labs in the game keeper demonstration they are so sleek.

I agree :)

He looks fantastic, you would never believe he was a 9 year old

I watched him in Group at Manchester and was blown away by him. A well deserved win today

Not going to NEC until tomorrow so watched the judging tonight on More4. 

The flattie was stunning, I couldn't take my eyes off him. 

He was stunning , your eyes were just drawn to him . But I also liked the curly coat , shame it wasn't placed.
Can't wait for tomorrow now :) I love the working group.

Love that dog, what a show man! Goodluck for BIS Jim & Jet.

What better a demonstration of 'fit for purpose' than Jet......9.5 years old and still out showing and moving better than many others in the group. Go all the way on Sunday.
Well done to the Golden who was group 4, lives local to us and goes to our ringcraft, looked great.

Yes, beautiful dog and it is great to see a veteran win.

Does anyone know if he is just a showdog or if he works too?

My eyes were just drawn to him all the way through....and he never stopped wagging his tail... one beautiful and happy dog :)

Personally i thought the Bracco was in superb condition he was also very majestic and it would have been absolutely deserved had he won as i believe he was the best animal in the ring.

I was also drawn to the Bracco but the Flatcoat was exceptional, not been anywhere for ages so I had never seen him what a showdog.

as well as the fcr i did like the bracco and the spin.
