BEST OF BREED
Heythrop Taggart
Owned by
Mr and Mrs Bigland



Firstly, I would like to say thank you to all exhibits that entered under me, and to my stewards today. It was a pleasure to have this chance. I think it is important to remember with both breeds I judged today, they were first bred to work to ground and therefore size and movement (and so construction) need to be carefully considered, especially with Jack Russell's as the breed develops.

Parson Russell Terrier: J (2,1) 1 Bigland's Heythrop Task Master; Friendly dog, once settled had good movement, taller and build then BOB in the end but still in moderate proportions, good rise over loin, RBOB. PG (2,0) 1 Bigland's Heythrop Taggert; higher tail set, straight movement which is key, great wedge-shaped head and portions, very workman like, spannable, good jacket, and lovely outline, BOB. 2 Hooley's Hoolmark Jonny Guitar; another good dog, good portions, easily spanned preferred the movement of 1st. O (2,1) 1 Bigland's Ch Ardencote Tutor with Heythop; Good head and tail set A dog I have seen in the past that has shown himself better light, I felt he was lacking today. However, when he did show himself off, you could see why he has his champion title.
