BEDLINGTON JUDGE DRIFFIELD 22

Thank you to the committee for the invitation to judge my own breed and and for their hospitality on the day. I found that some exhibits lost their toplines on the move, it may well have been be the ground surface compared to the last time that I judged in 2017 at Crufts, which of course is indoors on a carpet. Pleased that I found no cracked or corny feet.

VD. (1)

1 Martin, Ch.Honeymist Blue Bols, Worthy champion, sound in movement, rather more coat than I like but underneath is a well put together exhibit, good forehand and underline, RCC and best veteran and pleased to see her go Best Veteran in Group.

PD. (1)

1 Bannister, Mitemidgets Modern Love, Mature 9 month dog, in good coat, needs to tighten up in front movement but the shoulders are correct, has time on his side, good going away, longer cast than I like.

PGD. (1)

1 Jackson, Woolytop the Marshman at Padzar, good outline when stood with excellent depth of rib down to elbow with a defined under line, front movement tended to be wide.

LD. (5,1)

1 Jackson, Woolytop the Saxon at Paszar, same way bred as the PG winner, so similar comments apply, liver with correct eye colour, well off for bone and muscle, tended to lose topline on the move.

2 Oxbury & Tonner, Tunman Full Throtle at Junkenblu, preferred the movement of 1 today, but I have seen him move better, not the reach of neck as 1. Ideal eye, being small, bright and deep set, ears hanging flat to the cheek, good body proportions, another loosing topline on the move.

3 Bannister, Miteymidgets New Vision

OD. (7,2)

1 Offer, Ch. Woolytop the Viking, best outline in the class when standing, good forehand construction, excellent reach of neck running into correct layback of shoulders, good depth of rib down to elbows, well defined underline, moved well both way and side gait, deserved the CC.

2 Worrall, Bluesmurf Boogie Woogie, prefered the topline of 1, correct coat having both colour and crisp texture, not the head of 1, but correct bite, eyes small and bright, good reach of neck, brisket down to the elbows body of correct proportions another with good bone and muscle tone, longer cast than I like

3 Middlebrook, Tcheria Tcharlston

VB. (3)

1 Bannister, Ch. Miteymidgtes Going Global, 8 years old and in tip top condition, not a lot separating these two, prefered the topline and movement especially the drive out from the rear, good dark crisp coat, balanced outline when standing, good forehand, ribs down to the elbows and a definite underline tuck up, good rear angulation and tail carriage, a worthy champion.

2 Jones OBE, Tcheria Tydfil Sweet Charity, another one with dark crisp coat as required in the standard, pleased in head with thin ears, good forehand construction, moved well, difficult decision between these two.

3 Oxbury & Tonner, Miteymidgets Nations Unite at Junkenblu Sh.CM

PB. (4,1)

1 Middlebrook, Tcheria Sweet Charity, 11 months old and coming along nicely, first rate presentation and handling, good head skull not to wide and without stop, correct bite, thin ears and good reach of neck, good depth of rib, overall proportions giving a balanced outline, moved OK.
