BEDLINGTON SOUTHERN COUNTIES 25 Judge: Mr D G Taylor Many thanks to the Association for the invitation and for the hospitality on the day. May I also take the opportunity to thank my two ring stewards David Harris and Dolores Stephons for their help with running the ring and making it a pleasurable experience. I found on the whole a mixed entry making it extremely difficult to judge to the breed standard and type. Movement was generally good given the ring surface and I found a good number of exhibits with what I can only describe as “thick ears” and not as asked for in the breed standard, which is “thin and velvety texture”. I was aIso surprised to find a good number of exhibits with long nails, road work helps to keep them short once cut. I found no cracked or corny feet, runny or tear stained eyes. VD 1 Pollard & Barrowcliffe’s Jobanker Iron Icon 7 ½ year old, good in head, correct bite, small eye giving the appearance of being deep set and triangular, coat of correct colour and texture for a blue, good depth of brisket down to the elbow and through the body, tended to lose his topline on the move, moved OK PD (1) 1 Scott’s Mickleview Harvest Moon 7 month old with a lovely expression,eyes giving that appearance of being deep set, thin ears hanging flat to the cheek, good reach of neck into correct lay of shoulder, coat colour and texture as would be expected at this age, topline ok on the move, won on overall movement for best puppy. BPIB JD (3) 1 Fletcher’s Sharnor Sultan of Spica Just out of puppy but showing signs of a bright future, in good hard condition plenty of bone and muscle, pleasing in head with correct eye setting ears set flat to the skull, correct shoulder construction, good depth of rib, kept his topline on the move, correct movement both ways. 2 Nind’s Devleigh True Blue Pleasing in head, correct shoulder construction good rear angulation, tended to loose his topline on the move and not as positive on the move as 1, good depth of brisket down to the elbow. 3 Offer’s Woolytop The Phezantplukka LD (4) 1 Pedersen’s Silverkinn Skyfall of Topaz Pleased in head, correct bite, small eye giving the appearance of being deep set and triangular, thin ears, coat of correct colour and texture for a blue, good depth of brisket down to the elbow and through the body, kept his topline on the move, best mover in this class. RCC 2 Hewitt-Taylor’s Tobanie You Rock My World Liver dog with good coat colour, nose and eye are of the correct colour for a liver, good strong head with correct bite, good forehand construction with depth of rib, topline OK, good tail carriage 3 Lacey’s Bowlingbrook Hummingbird OD (4,1) 1 McNally’s Ch. Conekesheved Out of The Blue Coming up to 2 years of age and has matured nicely. Could be stronger in head,correct bite, ears thin and correct shape and placement. Correct shoulder construction, good depth of rib down to the elbows and through the body, moved with a light and springy action, coat of correct colour. If I am going to be hyper critical I am not a fan of the leg hair covering the feet and the hair should be cleaned out of the pads, having said that a worthy winner. CC and BOB 2 Bannister’s Miteymidgets Modern Love Larger than 1, excells in head, dark eye deep set has the appearance of being triangular, strong jaw with large strong teeth. Good depth of rib down to the elbows, correct rear angulation, sadly lacking in some exhibits, hocks well let down, kept his topline on the move. 3 Godden’s Ozbreeze Surprize of The Day at Valkurblue VB (2) 1 Bannister’s Ch.Miteymidgets Going Global JW ShCM Almost 11 years and in good hard condition a credit to the owners and a worthy champion.

BV 2 Westwood’s Daisy Rose Petal 9 years old, pleased in head with thin ears, correct shoulders and depth of rib, good bone and muscle but sadly lost her topline on the move. PB (5,1) 1 Hanes Janmark Dame Dame Dame Well developed for a puppy bitch hope the she does not grow on as there is a lot to like. Exellant head with the eyes having the appearance of being deep set, thin ears, correct forehand leading into good depth of rib leading through the body, good bone and muscle. 2 Martin Impey’s Silverkinn Madam Grand Slam Not as good in head as 1, ears ok, good shoulders, good coat and texture, kept her topline on the move with correct tail carriage 3 Fletcher’s Mickleview Layla JB (6) 1 Hart’s Silverkinn Spice Girl Top size liver, Excells in head proportions correct eye colouring for a liver also giving the appearance of being deep set long neck leading into good shoulder construction, correct height to length ratio, kept her topline when moving in profile which is a prerequisite for this breed along with correct tail carriage.Coat of correct colour and texture, best mover in this class, pushed the cc winner hard in the unbeaten line up.
