Firstly, I would like to thank the Committee for inviting me to judge at this popular, well run terrier show. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming and I was delighted to receive the appointment. I had a decent entry of 17 but sadly there were a lot of absentees, I did, however, find that on the whole it was a quality entry and I was pleased with my decisions. Massive thank you to John Clarke and Amelie Smith for stewarding, they were both very supportive and helped me a great deal to keep things running smoothly. We had a good sized ring and the exhibits made full use of it.

PUPPY DOG (1)

1. Amel-Azizpour’s – CROFFTYSOFTY HAY JUDE. This 10 month old male has a clear coat of lovely colour and soft texture. He has a masculine head with strong muzzle. Teeth are large with a correct scissor bite. He has enough neck, good shoulders and straight front with level topline, short coupled with well set tail. Movement was a little loose in front but that will improve with age and in fact he did move better in the next class. BD, BOS, BP

JUNIOR DOG (1)

1. Amel-Azizpour’s CROFFTYSOFTY HAY JUDE. As above

POST GRADUATE DOG (0)

OPEN DOG (3-3)

PUPPY BITCH (2-1)

1. Barton-Brown’s – ALIDOULALI DANCING QUEEN. This young lady is 10 months old, she has a pretty feminine head with good dentition. Although well set, I would prefer slightly smaller ears. She has a nice neck with good laid back shoulders, she moved okay holding her topline. I would prefer slightly more rear angulation. I worked her handler hard, but she was still smiling as she left the ring, well done.

JUNIOR BITCH (4)

1. Dowdy’s DENZILLY WAKING THE WITCH (AI). This beautiful bitch is just out of puppy, she has a very mature coat for age. Balanced in profile, she presents a tidy outline. She has a feminine head with good length of muzzle, dentition is a correct scissor bite, she has a nice neck leading into well laid back shoulders, a good depth of chest and is short coupled, on the move she has excellent tail carriage presenting an alert terrier. She was well handled at a good pace. I like her a lot, she lost out in the challenge to a more mature bitch, but I was very tempted. RBB

2. Ronan’s DENZILLY POPPET MAGIC (AI). Litter sister to 1. Pretty feminine bitch, she is well proportioned and compact . Her coat has a beautiful colour and texture and is age appropriate. She has good pigment and excellent expression. She has good shoulders and strong topline, lovely tail carriage on the move. Not with her usual handler but she did enough to win her placing in a nice class.

POST GRADUATE BITCH (4-2)

1. Munn’s SNOWMEADOW TREACLE TOFFEE. This bitch has an abundant beautiful clear wheaten coat. Pretty feminine head with dark hazel eyes, little ears and a good mouth. Shoulder placement is correct and she has an excellent front. Short coupled with excellent rear angulation, lots to like. I’ve written in my notes ‘animated’, she was giving her handler a hard time today but did just enough to win her class.

2. Wassall’s CLANHANNA A KIND OF MAGIC FOR EMALOT (AI). A finer made young lady to 1 with a coat of good colour, she has a lovely temperament. Pretty head, correct shoulders, chest well down, longer in rib but she is not long. Moved okay

OPEN BITCH (4-2)

1. Paton’s DENZILLY RASPBERRY BERET. Balanced bitch with a lovely coat with good colour and texture. Love her head well covered with coat and correct proportions. She has a good eye of excellent colour, small neat ears. Enough neck and excellent front, chest well down. She has moderate rear angulation and is a good mover, holding her topline and tail, covering the ground with ease. Her easy movement and terrier attitude won her BOB on the day. Was pleased to see her shortlisted to the final 8 for BIS.

2. Munn’s SNOWMEADOW SUZY SIXPENCE. Larger bitch to 1 but balanced with lovely coat. She has a beautiful feminine head, shorter in muzzle but strong. She has excellent pigment with correct eye. Correct shoulder, straight front, with well sprung ribs and good topline, well angulated rear. Was in a playful mood today but settled enough to show good movement on the go around.
