Terriers 7 May 2009
Although not a large
entry there was plenty of quality there.
I would like to thank everyone for their entry. I found good heads with typical expression. Coats were on the whole in excellent
condition and presentation first rate. I was disappointed to find the odd level
bite and movement in some exhibits was poor.
I was very happy with my top winners.
MPD (2) Abs: 0
1st: Keeves’ Seveek Dare Devil, bright red baby with dark mask and dark ears
which he used well. Profuse, good quality
coat. Nicely balanced, moved with
drive, true action front and rear. Best Puppy Dog
2nd: Soper’s Elitecharm Dream Boy, wheaten, leggier than winner. Nice flow and
length of neck. Lacking furnishings in
comparison with 1. Moved well when he behaved. Will take time to mature.
PD (3) Abs: 0
1st: Warne’s Spirebrooke Dawn Raider, silver brindle of nice type. Masculine head with pleasing
expression. Used his ears well. Correct length of neck flowing into clean
shoulders. Double coat of excellent
quality. Free mover and true both ways.
Promising.
2nd: Wall’s Cloverbrook
Ray Of Sunshine Over Shearwater, light red brindle of excellent type. Although still a youngster there is no
mistaking him for a male. Lovely clean
flowing lines, not overdone in any way.
Level topline and correct tail set. Correct movement front and back,
showed like a veteran, just preferred coat condition of winner.
3rd: Peers’ Tweedisle That Lone Guy
JD (5,2a)
1st: Marshall’s Strathgarten Crackerjack, nice sized red, attractive head with
correct dark eye. Scissor bite with large teeth. Level topline, well angulated shoulders, correct set on
tail. Good spring of rib. Nicely balanced, showed well.
2nd: Warne’s Spirebrooke Dawn Raider
3rd: Downie & Tate’s Jaeva Face The Music
PGD (3 ) Abs: 0
1st: Smith’s Rocasovale Razzle Dazzle, sturdy male with a beautiful head, broad
skull with an excellent stop, strong jaw.
Adequate length of neck, good depth and spring of rib, nicely set on
tail. Presented well, in hard
condition, moved with drive. On his toes. I liked him a lot.
2nd: Barney Alfie Lunar Hopper, light grey brindle, nice type, expressive
masculine head, correct eye, shape and colour.
Good body, topline level and back of correct length. Carried his tail well. Stood well, confident showman.
3rd: Lynch’s Fieldron Call My Bluff At Linacrelads
LD (5) Abs: 0
1st: Watson’s Fieldron I’ve Got News For You, grey brindle of excellent
type. A head to die for with varminty
expression. Correct bite, nice eye, used his ears well. Straight front, good neck and shoulders.
Strong hindquarters. Kept his level
topline on the move. In excellent
double jacket, responded well to his handler, moved steadily.
2nd: Templeton’s Larchlea
Time To Entertain, dark brindle another one with a lovely head. Good length of neck flowing into clean
shoulders. Level topline and correct
tail set. In excellent coat. Just preferred movement of winner.
3rd: Moseley & Inett’s Spawyche Elizabethan Onyx
OD (4) Abs: 0
A very strong class, I
wished I had three red cards or even better, three CC’s!
1st: Grainger’s Devil In
Disguise, I have never seen this red dog looking so well. In tip top condition, in both body and
coat. He has a most attractive head
which is well proportioned with desirable dark points. Dark eye of correct shape, size and
colour. Deep stop, broad skull, jaw
strong. Adequate length of neck, clean
shoulders, good depth of rib. Strong,
well muscled rear. Kept his level
topline on the move, carried his tail well.
Moved soundly, showed with animation, presented to perfection. Well deserved CC which I understand makes
him up.
2nd: Cameron’s Stryveling Robb Ruadh, another clear red, close up to winner and
similar in type. He is a quality well
balanced Cairn and so many of my remarks on the winner apply to him too. He was presented in fine fettle and he was
one of the best movers of the day.
Unlucky to meet winner in such fine form. Close decision. RCC.
3rd: Pollock’s Ch Larchlea Licence To Thrill At Stanedykes
MPB (8) Abs: 2
1st: Braybrook’s Cloverbrook Xtra Factor, grey bindle, quality youngster with
such a cheeky expression in her eyes.
Strong but feminine head, small ears used well. Good deep stop. Adequate neck, good
bodyshape, strong rear. Well balanced and in a really profuse jacket. Moved
well with drive and a nice width in the rear.
Lively shower & well presented. Best Puppy
2nd: Templeton’s Larchlea Can't Remember, excellent type with a gorgeous head
and lovely flow of neck. Level topline
and correct tail set. Presented herself
well, natural showgirl. Coat of good
condition. Unlucky to meet winner.
3rd: Parkin’s Roachdee Toffee Crisp
PB (7) Abs: 3
1st: Dolan’s Glenrood Warrior Princess Naf.
Grey brindle, excellent outline, pleasing head and expression, well
constructed, level topline into correct tailset. Excellent good coat, needs time to mature but time is on her
side. Movement true.
2nd: Warne’s Spirebrooke Morning Glory, silver brindle, typy pup, feminine
head, balanced, level topline, needs to tighten in front movement.
3rd: Mcintyre’s Glenchess Chloe
JB (7 ) Abs: 1
The first three in this
class could easily change places on a different day. Three beautiful bitches.
1st: Confue’s Anjofra Welcome To La La Land, animated clear red of correct size
with a lovely head and expression. Good
bone, not too heavy. Well balanced,
clean shoulders, moved effortlessly round the ring. In good coat, presented
well.
2nd: Osborn’s Tweslam Paws For Magic, another clear red, well up on the
leg. Feminine head, expressive eyes,
correct mouth with large teeth. Correct
length of neck, level topline, moved really well front and rear, needs a bit
more confidence and she will trouble the best.
Not quite as finished as winner.
3rd: Shannon & Storr’s Brenndarcy Button It JW
PG (7) Abs: 1
1st: Burgin’s Noncom Miss Hat He Chewed, showy grey brindle. Nothing flashy but oh so sound! Feminine head with broad skull and correct
eye shape and colour. Good mouth. Clean shoulders, correct length of neck,
level topline and good tailset. Moved
true and with drive from the rear.
2nd: Felters & Rumens’ Landbuck
Jazz Hands, eyecatching cream, very well presented and with coat in really good
condition. Level topline, good tailset. Well constructed, nicely balanced
bitch. Just preferred the head of
winner.
3rd: Chambers & Exton’s Cairngrove Clever Clogs
LB (7 ) Abs: 0
I found this a hard class
to judge with many quality exhibits.
The first three were close up.
1st: Inett & Harrison’s Noncom Minnie The Minx At Carradine, I see that
this bitch is the litter sister to the winner of PG and she does carry all the
attributes of her litter sister.
Stylish silver brindle of correct size. She presented herself very well
indeed standing well forward on forepaws, I liked her a lot.
2nd: Short’s Glenchess Cut The Mustard, very showy clear red who carried her
topline very well on the move. Feminine
expressive head with good mouth and stop.
Nice eye. Correct shoulders,
nicely bodied. In excellent coat and
condition. Free mover, presentation
first class. One and two could change
places anytime.
3rd: Thompson’s Castleline Bonnie Jw
OB (4 ) Abs: 0
1st: Thompson’s Castleline Tiger Lily, grey brindle, strong in head but
feminine. Those eyes make the
expression which is typical of our breed and her dark mask finished the
picture. Her body is well constructed,
ample but not too much bone. Good
forechest and correct lay of shoulder.
Kept her topline as she effortlessly moved around the ring. Well presented. A quality bitch who well deserved the CC and BOB. 2nd: Shannon, Storr & Culliford’s Ch
Brenndarcy Be Bop Deluxe, a very worthy champion looking very well today. She was in good coat and condition and she
is so well balanced. She is soundly
constructed, with correct shoulder placement and strong hindquarters. Level topline and correct tailset. Moved true and with drive from the
rear. Showed and presented well. RCC
3rd: Inett, Harrison & Clayton’s Carradine
