Best in Show Judge -  Mr Stuart Plane

West Midland Terrier Club Open Show 26 November 2022

My thanks to the officials and committee for inviting me to judge Best in Show. The Club is becoming a well known society for hosting a first class show, a tremendous entry proving there are still  plenty of terrier enthusiasts around and their support is very much appreciated.

I had two first class line ups for both Best in Show and Best Puppy in Show and many in the line ups will feature higher on another day.

Best in show proved to be the dual CC winner Lakeland Terrier JODEAN MARY ROSE, in beautiful coat  and condition, moved sound and true  with a free action. Her head is well balanced, dark eye, neat ear with a lovely neck and shoulders. Handled to make  the most of herself.

Reserve Best in Show was the Miniature Bull Terrier, RISIBULLY GIRLS ON FILM WITH FERGUSTAFF, a young tri bitch who has such potential, strongly made head with good lines, correct mouth, muscular neck and shoulder and a short well ribbed body. She too was sound on the move and put in a great performance.

In third spot was the Australian CH SILHILL SUPER TROUPER a red in terrific form, enough coat of good texture and clear colour. He has a lovely profile and maintains this on the move.

The Manchester was in fourth place, KENTWONE LYRA AT JANMARK, a bitch of lovely size and presents a clean outline. Her coat was in beautiful condition with good demarcation of colour, lovely bone and substance.

Best Puppy in Show also provided good competition. The winner was a Jack Russell Terrier JAEVA PAGE TURNER CHANDLIMORE, still very much a youngster but plenty of confidence, typical in head, dark eye , used her ears well, short coupled and such a good topline and tailset. Outgoing on the move and covered the ground with ease.

Reserve Best Puppy was another Lakeland JODEAN DALLAS, young and immature but showed like a veteran, well textured coat, lovely outline. Should have a good future.

Puppy Group 3 was the Norfolk JAEVA PUZZLE PIECE quite  mature looking for her age and such a lovely shape, so well balanced, quality head and eye well placed shoulders and  another with a good future ahead

Puppy Group 4 and in no way disgraced PERISBLU MALI, a Welsh Terrier who must have her title ahead of her, very well balanced and so typically Welsh. Quality head lovely neck and shoulder, good topline and well set tail. At the moment was more at ease on the floor where she showed herself to advantage. In super coat and condition.
