ENGLISH BULL BLACKPOOL 24 Judge: Mr Frank Dyson Many thanks to the Committee for the kind invitation, to exhibitors for their continued support and to Gisela Duran, my excellent ring steward. There was depth of quality throughout with good prospects for the future emerging. Whilst entries are down this year, quality remains high. Dog CC and BOB went to Multi Ch Ice Court The Swindler, two year old, all white, a mature quality well balanced dog with great body lines who owned the ring, always on his toes and shown to perfection, well turned head with good fill, width and finish, ears well placed, keen eye, all giving rise to great expression, topped off with scissor bite and correct canines, well laid shoulder, ribs carried well back, short coupled, deep brisket and good breadth across shoulders, moved with drive and pretty much parallel both ways, holding his backline, not surprising due to his correct forehand and good rear angulation. Took the CC and BOB with something to spare. PD 1 Kinder’s Dodge City Forged in Gold, upstanding red/wh smut, rising 12 months, well turned head with good depth, scissor bite, correct canines, long neck into good shoulder, straight front and tight feet, still a baby and needs to spring in ribs but that will come, correct backline and well made quarters, moved pretty well both ways. Should have a great future, BPIB. YD 1 Emett’s Brookbully Desparado, 18mths, br/wh, upstanding and the makings of a very good dog when mature, head is well turned with scissor bite, keen expression, decent forehand with tight feet, well made quarters, short hocks and moved pretty well both ways once settled. LD 1 Karta-Williams &Williams’ Kamara’s Double Jeopardy, 30 months white with brindle eye patch, who draws the eye with his ring presence and showmanship, strong head, which is deep with good width, undershot, keen expression, good ear set, strong neck into decent shoulder, good breadth across shoulders and strong loin, well made quarters and strong hocks, moved well coming and close going, excelled in bone, substance and overall volume, RCC. 2 Townend & Ball’s Kenxtwen Let’s Go, three and a half year old substantial red/wh, well arched head, keen eye, good ear set and scissor bite, decent shoulder, straight front, tight feet, deep in the brisket, short back with well angulated and muscled quarters. The show ring trot is designed to expose weaknesses in movement, standing, he looks the picture but inconsistent on the move and could not be properly assessed either way today. OD 1 Rosero & Hypolita’s Br Ch/pgy, Ch/pgy, Grch Ice Court The Swindler DCC & BOB. 2 Fletcher’s Napier Pure Copper, smart, upstanding red/wh smut, rising 2 years, great ring presence with an astute handler showing him to advantage, well arched head, good ear set, keen eye, giving rise to punishing expression, wry but not badly so, well made forehand with deep chest, good bone and tight feet, well ribbed, deep brisket, muscled quarters with good angulation, moved well coming and a little close going, challenged hard for the RCC. 3 Mathison’s Blazinbullys Ace of Spades at Lydsyll PB 1 Smithson’s Rebelside Mythical Moon at Phoenixcar, 10 mths, pretty white with red head and ear marks, good profile, scissor bite, correct canines, good ear set, keen expression, straight front, tight feet, adequate bone, decent shoulder although a shade long caste, well made quarters, moved pretty well coming and close going. JB 1 Leigh’s Venus Backflash at Bullwiz, smart, cobby br/wh 14mths well presented and handled, well turned head, fully filled with good width, correct bite, well set ears, all giving rise to keen expression, decent forehand and good tight feet, deep brisket and nice cut up, well boned with adequate quarters, moved well when she settled, BJIB. 2 Sutcliffe’s Dotannebull Black Widow, 16mths quality white, well turned head, keen expression, correct bite, decent forehand, neat feet, deep brisket, well made at the rear, adequate bone for size and moved pretty well both ways. 3 Brown & Hutchings Kamara’s Kiss and Tell at Winuwuk PGB 1 Morris & Heath’s Bluepoint Flye Fox, white with ear and eye marks, rising two years and the ultimate in “cobby” compact, ribs carried well back, short coupled, standing square and thickset with more than adequate bone for her size. Well arched head, keen eye and expression, level bite, strong neck, decent shoulder, tight feet, well made quarters, short hocks, moved well coming but a little close behind, CC & BOS. 2 Twyman’s Laronbelle’s Jamari, pretty br/wh of 2yrs, well turned head, with good fill and finish, keen expression, correct bite, decent forehand, short coupled with well angulated quarters, adequate bone, moved pretty well both ways when settled but lacked a little drive, not the guns to tackle the winner today. LB 1 Sewards’ Gorbain Barnesmore Waltzing Matilda, quality all white, 2 yrs, well turned head with good fill and finish, keen expression, correct bite, very good body lines, decent shoulder, straight front and neat feet, well made quarters, moved well coming and a little close going. Made handler work hard but unfortunately lost interest when it came to the challenge. 2 Campbell’s Clansmann Flame of Glory, alot to like about this red/wh smut, rising 3 years, standing short and square, well turned head, scissor bite good ear set and expression, decent shoulder, straight front, well ribbed, strong loin, well muscled quarters but carries tail high, moved better coming than going. OB 1 Hirst’s Medusamyne Lovely Jubbly Pumpkin, mature upstanding quality white with black ears, 2 ½ yrs, well turned head with good fill and finish, keen eye, correct bite, decent forehand, good bone, ribs carried well back with deep brisket, good rear angulation and covered the ground with drive, made her experienced handler work hard to get the best from her, which she did, RCC. 2 Smithson’s Phoenixscar Mythical Magic, 2 yr quality white with ear marks, well turned head with keen eye, correct bite, decent shoulder, straight front, deep brisket, good bone, well made quarters, moved better coming than going. 3 Westwood’s Tulsadoom Meshuggeneh Frank Dyson |
