ENGLISH BULL BOURNEMOUTH 18 Judge: Mr M Presland BEST OF BREED : 3555 CATILINA Mr & Mrs D Dofro Tjurpanna Stormrider ENGLISH BULL JUDGE BOURNEMOUTH 18 I would like to thank the officers and committee for giving me the opportunity to award my first set of tickets in what is one of my favourite breeds having been brought up with them as a child. Thanks also to the exhibitors many of whom having travelled a long way to show under me and giving me a quality entry. There were some very difficult classes which I'm sure on another day and another judge my placings would change! I was looking first and foremost for an upstanding dog with a nice mix of bull and terrier, not coarse in any way and a dog with attitude! Movement on the whole was excellent as were for the most part mouths though I was conscious of the KC directive towards in standing canines! 1 Medlam's Naejekim Aldhibain. Compact and typy white bitch just out of puppy. An ok head with lots of fill for a youngster. Well placed ears with a very keen eye. Good reach of neck and with good body lines and enough bone. still to mature. Moved ok although a little close at the rear. 2 Medlam's Yoshi Kawaii. 11 month white puppy, not as good in head as the winner but with a good eye and nice expression. An ok mouth, good topline and straight front, just needs time to mature. BPD. 1 Newberry & Mills' Teirwgwyn Phantom Jester For Ukusa. 17 month r/w, upstanding dog that is maturing into a real cracker, with his best still to come! Long deep well filled head with an unbroken profile. Well placed and shaped eyes and ears giving lovely expression, mouth correct. Long neck leading to a deep body with nice short back with a good top line. Straight front and good quarters. Would like a better tail set. Pleased to award him RCC. 2 Gausden & Lade's Ellakru Its All About Me. 14 month Br/w, still quite immature but lots to like. Nice profile with good fill and well set eyes and ears giving a good expression. Good lay of shoulder with strong forechest, good topline and well set tail. Movement still a little loose which I am sure will improve with maturity. 1 Foster & Bicker's Bilboen Great Dragons Spy. Very smart Br/w, with a lovely strong head with sweeping profile with depth, width, fill and turn Perfect mouth. Lovely neck, correct shoulders, strong forechest, straight front and correct topline into strong quarters. Moved well coming and going. Pushed hard in the challenge for top honours which I'm sure on another day he will get! 2 Fitzherbert Stewart & Goodwin's Locoville Serge Blanco. Heavyweight white with plenty of bone, an ok head, good bite, neat ears small dark eye, deep chest, short back with well set tail, strong well angulated quarters, moved well both ways. Just preferred the head of first. 3 Martin & Vanstone's Diton Dixieland With Puissance. 1 Catilina's Dofro Tjurpanna Stormrider. My star of the day having everything I was looking for! Large upstanding white just oozing type. Well balanced and masculine dog with a lovely strong head, with great profile, width and fill. Lovely small triangular eye with well set ears giving the desired wicked expression and topped off with a perfect mouth. Straight front with a good shoulder and super top line, his tail set could be better which isn't helped by him being on point the whole time he was in the ring! Broad chest, deep brisket and strong quarters which he used to advantage coming and going. Expertly handled, pleased to award him his second CC and BOB! 2 Gooding & Sheppard's Port Ch Javarke River Pirate. Different type to first being smaller all round. Quality Br/w with a powerful head, wide, turned and filled with a correct bite. Good neck and shoulder to a nice short back with a good topline and well set tail. Good straight bone down to tidy feet. Moved well both ways once his handler got him settled! 3 Phillips' Bullyon Beyond Measure. Strong, masculine, upstanding white dog. Powerful, well filled head, neat well placed ears though a little soft. Good reach of neck with strong bone with lots of substance, lovely straight front. Well angulated rear. He was a real handful for his handler today but moved freely and with drive once settled. 1 Gooding & Jasper's Notorious No Rest For The Wicked. 7 month black/white with a very feminine head with gentle profile, neat well placed ears, but with a rather kind eye. Elegant neck into good level topline and well set tail. balanced and well made throughout, just needs time to mature. Moved ok once her handler got her settled BPIB. 2 Sinclair's Treszia Spy'ess Viola. Upstanding white bitch. Beautiful head, turned and filled with a wicked expression. Mouth good. Elegant neck into well laid shoulder with just enough bone. Moved and showed a little lack lustre today which in the end cost her but a very nice pup, one to watch!! 1 Villensia's Villensia Virtuoso. Lovely tricolour, beautifully marked and put down in gleaming show condition. Beautiful head with sweeping unbroken profile with width, fill and a correct mouth. Great neck and shoulder with a straight front broad chest and good topline with correctly set tail. she moved well in both directions. Well handled though in the final challenge she wasn't moving as well as my winners though I'm sure her day will come ! 2 Pullen's Blazinbullys Sweet Surprise. Another nice young bitch. Br/w with a lovely strong feminine head having arc, width and fill. Good neck, shoulder and topline. An outgoing showgirl who was really on her toes making her handlers job seemingly very easy, showed like a bomb and moving well in both directions. Just preferred the mouth of first. 3 De Roubaix's Prime Fire Princess. 1 Foster & Bicker's Bilboen Harlee Quinn. A quality white with a lovely feminine head, with unbroken profile with width and fill good mouth and well set eyes giving the desired expression. A well balanced girl with a lovely straight front, good depth of brisket, well laid shoulder, and nice level topline with good tail. She moved quite well once her handler got her settled! 2 Laqmmer's Collinanera Pride Is Mine. Br/W with a feminine attractive head, but would like more width and fill. Correct bite. Long neck with a good firm topline held well on the move. 1 Sheppard & Howes' Ragnarok Back In Black From Polanca. This is a bitch that really needs to be gone over to appreciate her qualities that aren't always seen from the ringside, b/w with one of the best heads on the day, with a beautiful unbroken profile, well filled with a perfect mouth, good eye and ears bang on top giving a great expression. Deep and well filled body with good shoulders and straight bone! A little long in body but held her topline on the move which she did well coming and going and in the end clinched her first place in a very strong class. RCC. 2 Young & Lamonby's Emred Devils Nighthawk Of Kirkville, another nice bitch with lots to like. Smaller type to first, attractive tricolour, long strong head with enough profile and fill and good mouth. Good neck and shoulder and strong body with good topline and well set tail moved ok. Would like better feet, and for me, a little more of her all round. She showed her socks off never letting her handler down. 3 Gibbs' Ukusa Fortuitous At Jasna. 1 Foster & Bicker's Bilboen Glowing Goddess. A great name for a lovely bitch that had everything I was looking for from all angles. Beautiful white put down in lovely condition, so well balanced, with a long strong well filled head with a perfect mouth and lovely eye giving a real varmitty expression, good ears which she used well, lovely front and strong quarters, correct tail carriage. She was completely in tune with her handler and moved with power and drive coming and going! BCC. She was very close up with the dog for BOB, they made a lovely pair, but I just preferred the extra power of the dog in the final run off. 2 Taccone's Bullistorgame Cindy. Quality white with long, deep, well filled head with an unbroken profile. Well placed eyes and ears giving good expression, long neck leading to a deep body with a nice short back and good topline. Straight front and good quarters, nice round bone down to tidy feet. Preferred the mouth of first. 3 Ushchyshyna & Gronberg's Dk Ch Danelaw Symphony For The Devil. A bitch I have admired from the ringside and she was unfortunate to meet such quality competition on the day. Ultra feminine upstanding white bitch with lovely flowing lines. Good profile with adequate fill. Well placed ears and a strong underjaw with correct mouth. Lovely reach of neck into straight front with neat feet. Good hind angulation and moved ok but not the drive of first and second. Never stopped showing for her sympathetic handler. 1 Klammer's Collinanera Dollys Sweet Desire. An 8 years young tri, who was belying her years, with a strong, yet feminine head nice dark eye, just enough power, good body shape and in super condition. Moved freely, really enjoyed her day out. Shown and handled well.
