Teeth were on the whole cleaner than last time I judged but there were still a couple of young dogs with poor dental hygiene. I found no bad feet or poor bites. As last time though, handling was generally poor. Triangles should start directly in front of the judge, not six foot to one side. SBD/B. 1 Kinns’ Kinnuva Dark Sleeker: Liver dog of good size, has a nice outline when stood and is in excellent coat and colour, clean head with a good bite and nice thin ears. Standing well on sloped pasterns and good hare feet. Deep and flat in rib with nice tuck-up. Nice rear angulation and move well, just a little fond of his tail. MPD. 1 Gillies’ Rhicullen Jacobite; Big enough blue dog, OK in head, good bite, good length of neck. Chest deep and flat, good angulation fore & aft. Very immature in both movement and coat, needs time. JD. 1 Baldwin’s Woolytop Golden Surprise; Liver dog of good shape but would like a little more of him. He has a good head and lovely sleepy expression, good length of neck into nice shoulders. Deep in the chest with nice flat ribs. Nice length of body leading into well angulated rear quarters. Moved well at the rear, just a little loose in the front. Well presented and handled. 2 Middlebrook’s Tcheria Tcharleston; Blue dog of good size, nice head with good bite and nice thin ears, deep in chest and good angulation in the rear, moved well, presented well. Not the outline of 1. PGD. 1 Offer’s Woolytop The Wherryman; Big enough blue dog. Nicely balanced with a good head, thin ears and good bite, long reach of neck and well angulated fore and aft. Chest is deep and flat in rib. Coat of good texture just lacking a bit of colour today. Moved well and nicely presented 2 Kinns’ Kinnuva Dark Sleeker LD. 1 McCourt’s Bisbee Super Trooper; Blue dog of good size, lovely head with good dark eye, good bite and lovely thin ears. Lovely angulation of shoulders and slope to pasterns, deep in chest. Nicely angulated at the rear. Lovely coat in both colour and texture, tail set well just carried a little high at times. Moved well and with drive. Carrying a little too much coat today making him look a little heavy OD. 1 Bannister’s Mitymidgets English Dream; Blue dog in excellent coat and colour. Good clean head with good bite, thin ears and clean cheeks. Good reach of neck leading to well angulated shoulders, nice sloping pasterns and good hare feet, deep in chest with lovely length of loin. Well muscled and angulated rear quarters that he used to advantage. Carries his tail a little high, which can, at times, spoil his top line but his correct movement and balance when stood won him the CC today, well presented and handled 2 Davies’ Ch. Honeymist Blue Bols; Blue dog of correct size. Good clean head with correct bite and sleepy expression, lovely thin ears. Long reachy neck leading to well angulated shoulders, nice sloping pasterns. Deep in chest with flat rib, good angulation to the rear. Looked shorter than 1 today and did not have the presence of 1 today.

BEDLINGTON JUDGE NATIONAL TERRIER 18

Bedlington Terriers: I’d like to thank the National Terrier for the opportunity to judge my breed at this prestigious show and to my able stewards Paula and Tony.
Teeth were on the whole cleaner than last time I judged but there were still a couple of young dogs with poor dental hygiene. I found no bad feet or poor bites. As last time though, handling was generally poor. Triangles should start directly in front of the judge, not six foot to one side.

SBD/B.
