Usk Showground, Gwernesney, Near Usk, Mon Judge(s) Dr Hefin Jones BD CH LOWBROOK LLAFFAN JW ShCM (MR S & MRS A YEARLEY) BOB Ch Swiftstream Inkahoots With Uptnorth
PD & JD (0). PGD (1) 1 Brooks’ Mollora Solomans Seal, blue with good pigmentation, long foreface, well filled in beneath the eye, fine ears. Up to size but balanced with excellent bone & muscle. Deep brisket, good leg angulation producing good movement. OD (2) 1 Yearley’s Ch Lowbrook Llafan, what a show stopper, quality liver dog with one of the best heads I have ever seen, perfect small eye with the finest of ears, correct size with good balance helped by a classic topline both standing & moving, strode out with purpose & possessed drive. BD; 2 Taylor’s Uptnorth Ombudsman, blue with poise & balance. Unlucky to have met 1 in such good condition. Good length of head, excellent neck & shoulders, good topline with no evidence of the exaggeration that is occasionally seen, good conformation producing true movement. RBD. PB (1) 1 Lacy’s Bowling Brook My Blue Heaven, 8 months blue young lady with an exciting future before her. Good head with correct bite, small dark eye & fine ear, commendable coat pigment, deep flat ribs, good topline. Good movement but tended to wander a little which I am sure will improve with age. BP. JB (1) 1 Brooks’ Rathsrigg Boudica, already a mature & assured blue, excellent pigmentation, felt well made with good bone & muscle despite her tender age, very pleasing outline both standing & moving, typical flat ribs, sloping pasterns & low hocks, moved with purpose to complete the picture. RBB. PGB (4) 1 Thompson’s Jetsway Absolut Blue, lathy, pretty blue bitch, excellent teeth, bone & muscle with plenty of pigment in her coat, very feminine but with considerable presence, strong head, deep brisket & a topline that meets the Standard, good angulation which produces strong movement; 2 Ahearne’s Toffset Thandi Tombi, well presented blue, good bite, small eye & fine ears, overall shape true to type being slightly longer than she is tall. Flat ribs, good slope of shoulder & pleasing tuck up. A visit to the slimming club would make her a real contender; 3 Herbert’s Bridgeside Morning Mist. OB (3,1a) 1 Taylor’s Ch Swiftstream Inkahoots with Uptnorth, this multi CC blue girl has never looked better, her conformation & movement has never been in doubt, but now has a bloom to her jacket that cannot be denied, showed her socks off & it is difficult to see how she could be bettered, from the correct position of her roach to the true angulation & low hocks of her legs she is the epitome of a Bedlington Terrier. BOB; 2 Herbert’s Early Morning Mist, good honest bitch, richness of her blue jacket & light topknot caught the eye, while on the move her power & strength is obvious to all, examination confirms the quality of her bone & muscle & yet is the most feminine of dogs with an enchanting eye & fine ears.
