BEDLINGTON LKA 14 Judge: Mr Roy North (Niddvale) BEST OF BREED : 5674 BANNISTER Mrs Y Ch Miteymidgets Hawkers Cove Sh.CM DO YOU WISH THAT THE KENNEL CLUB WOULD PUT IT'S OWN HOUSE IN ORDER? BEDLINGTON JUDGE LKA 14 Bedlington Terriers I would like to take this opportunity to thank the exhibitors for a pleasing entry, the puppy classes in particular were full of quality & a pleasure to judge. MPD (2) 1 Thompson’s Jetsway Bollinger, excellent dark blue dog with a quality head, & thin leathers, flat ribbed with a good depth of chest for age, correct horseshoe front & rear angulation. Moved with style & confidence. BP; 2 Cleaver’s Gercog De Brazhelon Terra Latgale, this dog has a lovely well developed head with good depth to skull & powerful jaw, his ears lack the quality of the winner. The coat was rather pale & of poor texture but may improve with age. Still a little loose in front movement but exercise & age should improve this. PD (0). JD (2) A. PGD (6,3a) 1 Harris’ Ratswell D’artagan, a blue dog with a long lean head & good scissor bite, thin ears & a dark eye. Coat not at its best but moved well with a nice width to rear & a good tailset; 2 McCourt’s Burmington Hush A Bye, a liver dog in a well textured jacket, a little weaker in muzzle than 1 & would prefer bigger teeth. Moves OK but his tail lets him down; 3 McNally’s Makems Caught In The Act. LD (4,3) 1 Rainsbury & Hamilton’s Jetsway Chaser, stood on his own but a worthy winner, dark blue dog with a good pear shaped head & quality ears. Nicely roached back with good tailset, moved with the classic mincing gait & drive from the rear. OD (5,1) 1 Walters & Mitchell’s Ch Rathsrigg Millrace, a smart blue dog with plenty of substance, a quality head with good bite large teeth & length to muzzle, thin ears well set. Plenty of reach & strength to neck, a horseshoe front helped by the depth & width through chest. Overall a well balanced dog who moved like he owned the ring.

A good head on this one with large teeth & correct bite, plenty of depth to skull & fill to muzzle.
