BORDER CITY OF BIRMINGHAM 08 Judge: Mr Terry Cooper BORDER JUDGE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM 08
A quality entry of 168 exhibits. I was really pleased with all my winners & placed dogs. On a down note there were a few dogs who I admired entering the ring, but when I put my hands on them I was disappointed to discover they were lacking in muscletone & ultimately they paid the penalty. VD (3,1a) 1 Norris’ Brookbank Break The Spell, a good type of dog, pleasing in head, nice expression. Good front still keeping nice bodylines. Shown in good coat enjoying his day out; 2 Wrenn & Langdon’s Dandyhow Sir Toby, similar comments as 1 but didn’t quiet have the sparkle of 1. MPD (7,2) 1 Norris’ Brookbank Could It Be Magic, well balanced youngster with good head & expression, nice make & shape in rib & loin, moved & handled well; 2 Kenyon’s Tallowbrook Encore, different type to 1, big enough, narrow front, OK in head, rangy type, moved OK. Preferred the coat of 1; 3 Rumsan’s Jenabeck Soloist. PD (7) 1 Davis’ Hesselmere Hi Karate, good head & shoulder, very good tight coat & pelt, excellent in front, good tight feet, excellent mover.
