Tony Manning BEDLINGTON JUDGE NATIONAL TERRIER 15 Bedlington Terriers Many thanks to the team at National Terrier for their invitation to judge my breed, in place of my breed colleague Stuart Yearley. My best wishes to him for a good recovery. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality provided by you all & to my very efficient stewards, Jean & Joyce, well done. Disappointing dog entry at this time of year, but pleased with the bitches. I always try to point out any concerns I have with the breed as honestly as possible. No problems with ‘feet’. I did not find anything to be concerned about. Not happy with the tail carriage of many exhibits. High tails spoil the outline of the breed, especially on the move. Differences in height & length, together with the lack of true movement are becoming a concern & coat quality needs to be addressed. Please try to find a solution to these problems. MPD (1) 1 Worralls’ Bluesmurf Semper Fidelis, promising blue baby. Still very immature. Nice blue coat. Typy head, thin ears, dark eyes, good clean bite. Lengthy neck into fine shoulders.

Well muscled for 9 months old. Good legs, feet & smooth pads. Plenty of drive on the move. Nicely presented; 2 Thompsons’ Jetsway Bollinger, 11 months old with a dark blue coat.
