BEDLINGTON JUDGE SOUTHERN COUNTIES 09

Bedlington Terriers

I was truly delighted with the entry for my first CC appointment in Bedlingtons, both numerically & in the depth of quality – I felt honoured. I enjoyed judging this lovely breed & tried hard to place dogs which were not only both well constructed & typical, but which were correct in its more unique features.

PD (2)

1 Hyde’s Gnejnabay Chokko Pops, 10 months liver, balanced & well developed for age, pleasing head proportions, good neck length, well angulated, moved well keeping correct topline;

2 Palmer & Roberts’ Jetsway Captain Morgan, slightly younger at 9 months & less mature generally, quite pleasing head at this stage. Needs to strengthen yet in front.

JD (2)

1 Davies’ Bla Skuggans Jack In The Box at Honeymist, attractive, mature & well balanced, good front, well angulated shoulder & quarters, moved & showed well;

2 Logan’s Mollora Innovation, less mature than 1 & not quite so sure of himself which may have been due to the inside ring. Quite pleasing head. Overall felt he could do with a tad more length in body.

PGD (4)

Close decision between 1 & 2.

1 Baldwin’s Woolytop Another Star, well made & balanced, moving soundly;

2 Cumming’s Honeymist Blue Flame at Rocabec, lost out on maturity to 1, just needs a little more time but good for size. Balanced in general, moved out well;

3 Harris’ Ratzwell Independence.

LD (7)

Close decision.

1 Caines’ Burmington And Me Too, well balanced head, strong jaw, good type & generally well constructed, mature body, deep brisket, moved well keeping correct topline;

2 Owen’s Bisbee Blue Max, liked his head, eye & ears, well made with good depth in brisket. Not quite as positive as 1 on the move. Overall a most pleasing dog;

3 Walshaw’s Janmark Blue Encounter.

OD (7)

Class of seven high quality dogs which was an absolute pleasure to judge, I was splitting hairs all through.

1 Jones’ Ch Pengerrig Iron Duke, really took my eye, I just loved him with his correct size & general conformation to the Standard, very pleasing head proportions, well constructed throughout the body with matching angulation, nothing exaggerated about him at all, full of type combined with confidence & style in movement & showmanship. CC & BOB;

2 Walshaw’s Janmark Alannora, slightly bigger than 1 but sharing many of his qualities, pleasing throughout, well angulated without exaggeration, good head, moving well, RCC;

3 Davies’ Ch Honeymist Miles High.

V (3,1a)

1 Bannister’s Ch Moltyke Taggles with Miteymidgets, sound dog for 9 years, well muscled & in fit condition, moving with some verve;

2 Baldwin’s Woolytop Lady Luck, beginning to show her age a touch, but in good nick generally, moving well.

PB (5)

1 Yearley’s Gnejnabay Genegenie Gal at Lowbrook, what an attractive little charmer this is, generally pleasing & balanced, 10 months liver, so mature & composed for her age, lovely head, angulations correct, moved effortlessly keeping topline. BP & RCC;

2 Hurley’s Fralex Culibre Truffles, at just 6 months very much a baby, well constructed, pleasing head. Needs to mature but the essentials are all there. Happy personality & moving quite well;

3 Davies’ Honeymist Crazy Rhythm.

JB (8,1)

1 G Genegenie Gal at L;

2 Bannister’s Miteymidgets Hawkers Cove, I wished I had had two first prize cards, well made shoulder & front, well balanced all through & in good nick generally, moving well, a lot to like;

3 Hewitt-Taylor’s Mollora Archangelica for Tobanie.

PGB (6)

1 Rainsbury’s Sevray Repique, very nice blue, generally pleasing with sound construction & balance, correct head proportions, good front, good bone, well angulated, moved with some style;

2 Lacey’s Bowling Brook My Blue Heaven, rather bigger than 1. Pleasing head & front construction, correct topline, moved quite well;

3 Evans’ Kardomas Dainty Bess.

LB (6)

1 Wharton-Smith’s Miteymidgets Shooting Star, a lot to like here with sound construction generally, quite nice head & good length of neck, well angulated, going well;

2 Bannister’s Miteymidgets Tetrarch, very similar to 1 in most aspects but lost out a touch in front;

3 Owen’s Bisbee Bobby Dazzler.

OB (6,1)

The first three were very close.

1 Collier’s Mollora Little Rosie at Pocoblu, well made all through, lovely head, good body for size & outline in profile, positive in front movement, correct topline maintained throughout. CC;

2 Hurley’s Fralex Culibre Sapphire, pleasing bitch, loved her head, neck & general construction, similar to 1 in many aspects, glamorous coat. Lacking a touch in front on the move;

3 Davies’ Honeymist Tease N Freeze.

Breeders Bannister’s Miteymidgets, placed third in the group.
