	A lovely critique from Sue Simper after winning Post Graduate Bitch at Richmond ."Barnes’ Diamondridge Delightful, 23 months clear red bitch of immense appeal. Full of breed type. Strong substantial but still utterly feminine. Lovely head of correct proportions. Clean through cheeks & temple. Correct stop. Lovely length & depth of foreface which is well padded. Excels in length of neck. Very good shoulder placement. Superb bone. Deep rib extending well back with correct spring. Level topline. Good croup with correct tail insertion. Broad well developed hindquarters with excellent first & second thigh. Low set hocks with well defined hock joints. Exceptional profile action. Excels in her long free ground covering action. Sound coming & going with powerful drive from quarters & correct extension in forehand. She was not at ease in the ring & didn’t give of her best. A great shame."
	What the Judge Albert White said about Delilah when she won 1st in Post Graduate at Leeds "Barnes’ Diamondridge Delightful, this is a very handsome bitch, real Ridgeback type & shape, strong head, beautiful eyes & ears, scores in reach of neck & that sweeping outline. Well boned & she can show real balance & power on the move" 1st Diamondridge Delightful Strong powerful hound. Loved her head and expression, Excellent neck and front, tip top condition, good hindquarters, powerful mover" - Keith Thornton. "Diamondridge Delightful, a well grown 11 month old who has a powerful appearance but nonetheless has feminine qualities. Litter sister to my BP male with many similar qualities. She is certainly well grown & is well boned & has plenty of body substance. Strong typy head, noticeable ears but pleasing expression, excellent outline with balance in angles front & rear & having pleasing overall length/height proportions & a firm level topline with slight rise over the loin. Plenty of quality & promise in construction but she needs to settle & tighten in movement" Graham Hill at SWKA
	What the Judge Cathy Davis said about Delilah when she gave her Best Puppy in Show at RR Club of GB Ch Show."11 month larger girl with a classic head balanced throughout and a really nice good dark round eye giving her a soft expression. Heavy in bone without being overdone she stood on exceptionally tight feet. Front and rear angulation was excellent so she was able to use her hindquarters and cover plenty of ground on the move. Excellent Ridge and crowns."
