It was a privilege to be able to judge Bedlington Terriers at Crufts, an honour I will never forget. I thank the exhibitors for their entries and the sporting way that all took my decisions. The breed has changed greatly from when I began showing, with many ‘types’ now in the ring, which do vary immensely. On the day I was looking for a sound exhibit, with balance, put down in good condition, sporting a thick linty coat and importantly moving in a typical Bedlington style, cleanly fore and aft and keeping a correct topline in profile. I also attempted to score exhibits highly who had the key breed points that make this terrier unique. These been, a horseshoe front, clean in head with fine filbert ears, arch over loin, moderate rear angulation and correct front and rear action, with a mincing gait. Unfortunately in many classes, a lot were missing and decisions had to be made. I'm sure on another day, these places could change easily, coats change through the season and movement can be totally different on grass, some are also not at ease and nervous of the Crufts environment. It should be noted that I found no cracked pads and in general dentition was good. I will take this opportunity to wish everyone the best of luck for the forthcoming show season.

1ST 4364 - Jobanker Rocky Road (Mrs Ad Poultney) liver dog, a little bit heavier in head but he had a good eye, strong dentition and ears of a good size.

He could have a stronger rear but was really well muscled. clean pads. Sporting a correct, colourful jacket. Moved steadily.

1ST 4363 - Fairy-Tale Falco Bohemia Opus Aut/sk/cze Jch (Ms M. Pobudová). A mature upto size male, he really pleased in head, of good length, clean, dark eye and thin leathers. Clean through neck and shoulders. top line was a little overdone and I would have preferred less jacket left on top. He was rather up on leg, which spoiled the balance, however he had a good depth, really good bone, nice angulation at the rear, tail set, and it was a clean rise over the loin on the move. He was really flowing on the move, which won him the class. Presented in good jacket and very well presented.
2ND 4320 - Rhicullen Blue Knight (Mr N & Mrs N A Jackson) A more typical Bedlington, not presented as well as 1, however was sporting a correct jacket, with good coat and colour coming through. This young fellar was very pleasing in head, typical, good eye, thin ears of the correct size. Liked his height and his length to height ratio. He has a well made front assembly, good depth of brisket and a topline that is not exagarated, with a clean tailse. ample bone and correct hares feet. He just tended to flatten a bit in top line both on the move and when stacked. he's only 12 months old so was giving quite a bit away to the winner and this showed on the move.
