WEST Midland Terrier 15 Feb

CAIRNS – I would like to thank the committee for the invite to judge my breed & for their very kind hospitality, & to my very able steward. J 1 Inett & Engebretsen’s Carradine Dexter, dark brindle dog maturing up nicely, with excellent head & good eye & stop. Excellent bite. Good length of leg & not too heavy making for a good outline. Level topline & stood & showed very well. RBOB; 2 Inett, Harrison & Clayton’s Carradine Secret Snowdrop; 3 Inett’s Carradine Lady Lola. PG 1 Bateman & Sach’s Dandi Boy Spud, dark brindle dog with lovely Cairn expression & good bite, very nice ear placement. He had a good sloping shoulder which showed through on his movement which was equal & sound; 2 Torpay’s Anglyairn The Real Thing. O 1 Bateman & Gompels’ Carradine Terries Tipple, wheaten dog, have judged this dog before & gave him BOB then & was equally delighted to find him just as pleasing in today’s company. He has a beautiful head but still retains that masculine quality, level bite & good stop. Has a well sprung rib & super level topline. Coat of good quality & texture. Moves round the ring soundly, with purpose & with nothing exaggerated. BOB; 2 Byrne & Inett’s Carradine Brian The Lion; 3 A The Real Thing.
