ENGLISH BULL JUDGE BLACKPOOL 13

Bull Terriers

Thank you to the Blackpool committee for inviting me to judge my first championship show for Bull Terriers in the UK. I was happy to see the sun shine & the rain clouds disappear as the day went on. It was a lovely day for the show, cool & slightly overcast. Perfect for man & beast! There were some very close decisions & each dog was presented fit for function & well prepared for the ring.

PD (2)

1 Rae’s Irazistabull Star Of Hades, dark brindle who is up on leg, wonderful turned head & super profile, fill under the eye is decent. Could use a bit more width of muzzle. Expression could be a bit keener but eye placement is very good, nice pert ears used well, bite is slightly off, nice straight front with tight feet. Forechest needs to drop. Bone is adequate, viewed from the side his neck flows into a good topline. Shoulder could use a bit more layback. Moved well in all directions, should mature into very nice dog indeed. BP;

2 Wright’s Rightstuff Reflect A Bull, white with lots of bone & substance, cobby specimen with much to offer, very good head with plenty of fill, good eye with keen expression & ears right on top, used well. Glad to be here & showed it by being a bit of an excitable boy. Moved well in front, could improve in rear.

JD (4)

1 Woodward’s Gorbain Hellboy, very substantial white with a powerful head & good bite with regular strong teeth, punishing expression & animated ears, head has super strength with a bit of a brow from profile, viewed from front his chest is well developed & dropped, super bone, good feet & front, side-on he is short backed & muscular with chest well below his elbow, topline held well on the move & he came & went well with drive from the side, very masculine with a brawny physique for a young dog, living up to his name with his handler! RCC;

2 Potter’s Maximus White Knight at Topfuel, white that is very typy, cobby, head is very good, filled & full down to the muzzle with a good bite, eye a bit more open than 1, good earset, side view shows a short back & proper rise over loin, front a bit more bull than terrier when viewed front on but still moved well coming in, a bit close going away;

3 Leggatt & Pilkington’s Javarke Karbon Kopy.

PGD (0).

LD (5)

1 Blair’s Taylajay Dream A Lie at Megaville, white with black ears, impressive bone & substance for size, classical head with no dips or hollows, smooth throughout, bite good. Ears could be set more upright on his head which would improve all over keenness of expression. Viewed front-on he is substantial & stands well over himself, feet are tight, side view shows a neck that flows to well laid shoulder & decent length of back, moved bullish coming & a bit close going away, all in all a very nice dog, close call between this dog & the RDCC;

2 Williams & Hawksford’s Busell’s Red Knight Rising, solid red with plenty to like, nicely filled head with turn & pack & good expression, scissor bite, straight front & small feet with good bone, short enough in back & moved well fore, aft & from the side;

3 Keebles’ Grazami Rambo’s Son Of Honor.

OD (4)

1 McDermid’s Padhen Hitman, b/br of immense quality, head is classically filled & turned with a smooth feel under the hand showing no dips or hollows, bite is spot on. Could use a keener expression. Ears are well set on top of his head, shines in body construction, ramrod front & nice feet & decent forechest when viewed from front, side view shows upright pasterns & brisket well below elbows, which are nicely tucked in, smooth neck into excellent shoulder assembly to short back with a slight rise over the loin, stifles well bent & turned with short hocks, movement is excellent in all directions, black jacket gleams. CC & BOB;

2 Wannop’s Son Of Legends, a powerful white with lots of virtues, head is nicely filled with a well turned profile, tiny eyes give him an evil expression. Mouth is a bit off, deep chested from front & side, good front, cobby with a short back & topline that holds on the move, went around the ring well in all directions.

PB (3)

1 Young’s Bullyview Sweet Memories, lovely little white girl carrying red, nicely filled up head with profile turned right over, expression is excellent, pert ears used well, front is good but pasterns turn out a bit at toes. Well made & moved as well as can be expected of a young one, a bit more bone would complete the picture.

JB (6)

1 Phillips’ Bullyon Imeasureabull Ness, striking white who takes your eye with her elegant silhouette, head is turned & she has sweeping body lines from neck to tail, elbows are well tucked in & brisket falls below them, forechest is prominent & topline is smooth, well turned rear, front-on she does not disappoint with well filled head & good expression. Front could be better at the feet & a tad more bone for her size would be advantageous. Coming in she is parallel, her cross to bear is her rear movement which is very close. RCC;

2 Grieves’ Teirwgwyn Miss Independent of Meilow, a gorgeous upstanding tri who gave 1 a run for her money, on any day either could win, from the side a striking figure of a bull terrier with a beautiful head, lovely neck & shoulders, strong rear, bite is perfect & her head has enough fill to match a turned over head, her handler was in sync with her & moved her well. Two very nice bitches;

3 Llewellyn’s Emred Bluebell Girl Bullypins.

PGB (6)

1 Jastrzebska’s Tinklebell Timar, classic little white bitch with a good head, perhaps a bit more profile would be desired but a wonderfully filled up muzzle, tiny ears right on top & super expression, very short & cobby, gorgeous straight front & excellent feet, short back, movement was super, a lively bitch exhibiting true bull terrier type;

2 Marples’ Japulcas Secret Charm at Taylajay, silvery/br with very good head, profile & super expression, lovely outline that needs a better shoulder layback & depth of chest. Good bone, shoulder assembly makes for a bit of extra length of back but a very nice animal who moved well;

3 Eyan & Cusick’s Lady Muskattelle.

LB (4)

1 Galla’s Vetsbullies Happiness, powerful red who would have won the movement trophy if there had been one, was true fore, aft, from the side & inbetween, a pleasure to watch her, along with this attribute she also has a lovely head, lots of bone, straight front & strong forechest. A shorter back would complete the picture;

2 Williams & Hawksford’s Bobuddy Evanesence, white, tall, statuesque bitch who has a lovely outline & a long dramatic head that could use a bit more fill, very nice shoulder. From the front she could use a bit more bone down near her feet. Moved well in front, closer behind;

3 Wilson & Stephans’ Alizarin Sugar Babe.

OB (2)

1 Koning & Berez’s Ch Acton Hot And Classy, white who exudes type, head is filled & turned with wicked little eyes, good bite, ears could be a bit stronger although they are well set, profile sweeps from top of head to tip of nose, front-on elbows are tucked in & her front is straight save a slight turn out on the left foot, excellent bone from top to bottom, side view allows for a deep brisket & flowing neck & shoulder to strong topline with rise over loin, powerful rear. Although a bit erratic on the move it was enough to see she is good in all directions, she is rock hard & muscular under your hands & in tip-top condition. CC;

2 Young’s Bullyview Gangsta’s Girl, lovely white who is just the opposite of 1, short & cobby, gorgeous head turned right over, bite slightly off, super expression, good front with toes turned slightly out, powerful forechest, strong & powerful rear assembly, moved well even though she was in full season, a lovely animal.
