Bedlington MBTC Ch 18 Judge's Critique



Bedlington Terrier

KC Breed Standard

MBTC 18 Judge

 


 











The Midland Bedlington Terrier Championship Show 16th. June 2018

I should like to thank the members of MBTC for the invitation to judge this show. I should also like to thank all the exhibitors who entered and prepared their dogs for this event. I would also like to thank my two excellent stewards for all their help. I was fortunate to have a numerically strong entry which enabled me ,in most circumstances, to select the type of dog that I like best. You may find that having similar dogs will make the critique somewhat repetitive. For this I apologise in advance.

JD 4 (0)

1. Middlebrooks Tcheria Tcharleston. Well made blue youngster. Very masculine, with good balance. Strong head, good length of neck, correct topline, held on the move, with correct tailset. Well muscled which produced reach and drive.

2. Baldwins Woolytop Golden Surprise. Handsome liver dog with a coat of good texture. Another strong head with pleasing expression. Topline and tail as they should be and rear angulation fits the bill. This produced the movement one would expect both coming and going.

3. Mcmanus Travellersway Rory.

1 Offer’s Woolytop The Wherryman. Blue with good texture of coat. Up to size but with everything in proportion. Had all the important attributes of a terrier, good dentition, muscle and bone. Topline spot on and deep in the chest. Movement could not be faulted.

CH.D 2 (0)

1. Kuklikova’s Multi. Ch. Bowlingbrook Great Gatsby. Striking dog that caught the eye as he entered the ring. Dark blue jacket contrasting with white topknot and furnishings. There is more to this dog than his appearance. Commendable length of head with strong jaw and well filled in under the eye. Good dentition with eyes and ear set as they should be. Correct length of neck with a topline that rises with a gentle arc, high spot just where it should be. Flat deep ribs with good tuck up. Plenty of muscle producing just the movement I would expect. DCC and BIS.

2. Davies’s Ch. Honeymist Blue Bols. Different type but still a worthy champion. Slightly smaller than 1 but very masculine. Pleasing length of head, neck and topline. Deep in the ribs. Classic sloping pasterns and tuck up as it should be.  Just preferred the rear movement of 1.

VD/B 3 (1)

1. Yearley’s Ch. Gnejnabay Genegenie Gal at Lowbrook. Quality liver bitch now nearing her 10th birthday. Still looks as fresh as she did as a youngster. Has a commendable head with restful expression. Plenty of colour in her coat, slim and feminine but with plenty of muscle. Deep in the rib and rear angulation to be admired. Moved as well as ever. BV

2.Lacey’s  Bowlingbrook Trick or Treat. Slightly longer girl with head slightly shorter than 1. Much to be admired in the dark blue jacket of this lady. Lovely topline with no exaggeration. Plenty of muscle and correct angulation at the rear produces positive movement both coming and going.

PB 7 (2)

1. Lacey’s Bowlingbrook Makingwhoopi. !0mth. old blue girl. Rich dark jacket, head already mature. Good proportions and outline. Has all the Bedlington breed features with horseshoe front, sloping pasterns and correct angulation. Strong movement for one so young. BPIS

2. Phillip’s Rathsrigg Willow. Also 10mth. And so similar to 1 they could be litter sisters, but not quite the maturity of 1. I am sure they will be keen competitors in the future.

3. Mcmanus’s Travellersway Jessica.
