ENGLISH BULL CRUFTS 2010 Bull Terrier Judge(s): MRS J T FURNEAUX ENGLISH BULL JUDGE CRUFTS 10 Bull Terriers I would like to thank Crufts committee for the invitation to judge at the worlds greatest dog show, thanks to the exhibitors for the support you gave me by entering your lovely dogs under me, & special thanks to those who traveled from overseas with their dogs, And last but certainly not least, thanks to my two stewards for all their help, you helped make my job much easier & enjoyable. VD 1 Smalley’s Briden Carbon Copy, 91/2 years boy in gleaming condition, not at all phased by the occasion, really lovely classical head, neat ears, good body lines & quarters, he really didn’t look old enough to be in veteran class; 2 Malden’s Jaggers Wonder, this gentleman really does still enjoy his shows at 121/2 years young, good front, nice rounded bone, still moved with drive. JD 1 Coller’s Charlie of Bashley Copse, smart youngster, good head & strong neck, excellent rounded bone, liked his body lines & neat feet. PGD 1 Westwood’s Tulsadoom Abi Albon, powerful white, lovely head & keen expression, superb bone & substance, deep chest, strong neck, powerful quarters. Not an easy dog to show but his owner got the best out of him & there is a lot to like about this boy; 2 Mellor’s Licorice Calhoun at Credetta, totally different type than 1, smart upstanding coloured boy, head filled & turned, nice expression, gun barrel front, good quarters, handled well; 3 Moody’s Kersharela Thundercloud at Odyom, smart typy white, good head & expression, good bodylines. LD Very strong class of some excellent dogs calling for some close decisions. 1 Dobbin & Van Eck’s Ossysdream Tristar of Debully, upstanding tri dog, super head, filled & turned, excellent earset, deep chest & topline, enough bone. Feet could be little bit tighter to complete the package; 2 Brooks’ Totally Osbourne at Kellouacy, very well made striking dog, excellent bone, particularly liked his topline, moved with drive; 3 Hind & Membury’s Mitxstaff Diamond White, smart typy white, built on classical lines, good head & set of ears, well balanced body lines, another who moved well. OD 1 CC, Tyrone & Probert Lamellar Love Me Do at Llanwenarth, this dog certainly has the wow factor, upstanding powerful white with tremendous ring presence, beautiful head & profile with the most keenest expression, excellent earset, excellent front, deep chest, lovely rounded bone, strong quarters, his handler shows him to perfection; 2 RCC, Leesley’s Ch Lydsyll The Untouchable, completely different type than 1, extremely typy, classy white dog and a worthy ch, his young owner never stops showing, lovely clean classical head, good rounded bone, good body, extremely classy dog all through; 3 Roberts & Grieves’ Ch Teirwgwyn Son Of A Gun at Meilow, another very typy dog, lovely head & neat ears, good make & shape. Lacking a little of the sparkle that he usually has. Before I go onto my report of the bitches I must just say how extremely unfortunate & obviously upsetting that two of the males had an unpleasant falling out in the ring, thankfully neither of them was physically badly hurt but a number of times I asked the exhibitors, as did my steward, to pick up the pieces of dried tripe, sausages etc they were throwing around the ring to get their dogs attention etc. We really must watch this in the future or I feel we shall be restricted as to what can be used by exhibitors in the ring while showing their dogs. On to a superb entry of bitches. VB 1 Morgan’s Ch Romagna Memphis Belle, very typy white in excellent condition, I was very surprised to see she was now a veteran. Lovely classical head, good ear set, she kept her topline on the move, credit to her owners; 2 Deutsch’s Ch/Int Ch Trick Of Treat Ruby Tueday, another very nice bitch, well put together, nice head & eye, neat ears, straight front & nice rounded bone; 3 Malden’s Louka Lady In Red, upstanding terrier type bitch, nice clean head, deep chest, good topline, another who showed well. PB 1 BP, O’Connell’s Elvroc Who Dare Wins at Koellen, very feminine puppy with an excellent head, filled & nicely turned with neat ears, shapely body. Needs ring class training, I hope her keen owner will persevere with this; 2 Pope’s Oopza Daisy from Rokatoc, very immature baby. In good condition. Not the head of 1 but she does have a good keen expression & good earset. JB 1 Wojciechowski’s Secret Passion Ewimark Rakownia, stunning coloured bitch, in gleaming condition, beautiful head with lovely fill, super ears, nice expression, good reach of neck & topline held on the move, moved with drive, handled beautifully for her young handler; 2 Membury & Hind’s Mitzstaff Aim To Please, she was pleasing with a very nice classical head, good make & shape, good rounded bone. Just not the showgirl of 1 but a good bitch; 3 Salt’s Daisel Dearest, rather immature bitch who needs time & just wanted to play. PGB 1 Blair’s Terjos Here I Am at Megaville, very feminine bitch, full of class with really lovely head with lovely finish, good ears used well, nicely arched neck, good bodylines, moved & showed well; 2 Karta’s Karmara Cause A Catastrophe, another lovely bitch, powerful head, packed right up with keen expression, mature bodylines, strong quarters which showed in her movement; 3 Dobbin & Van Eck’s Sugar Spun Sister for Debully, upstanding & feminine bitch, lovely head, nicely arched neck, deep chest. Just a shade down on her pasterns but still a smart girl who never stopped showing. LB 1 Leesley’s Bullyview Sheer Bliss at Lydsyll, very attractive bitch who never stopped showing, put down to perfection by her enthusiastic young owner, lovely head & expression, deep chest, nicely rounded bone, neat feet, very smart package all round; 2 Hind & Membury’s Mitzstaff Ice Maiden, nice bitch built on very clean, classical lines, good head enough fill. Not quite the profile of 1 but still an attractive girl; 3 Hills’ Arcanum Kaviar, strong headed coloured girl, deep chest, good rounded bone, straight front, in gleaming condition. OB Another excellent class of bitches. 1 CC & BOB, Cox’s Ch/Ir Ch Coxgal Oiche Angel, stunning tri bitch, perfectly balanced all through, powerful head, completely packed, filled & turned to perfection, ears right on top which she uses, beautiful swanlike neck, deep chest, short back, excellent topline, powerful quarters, & can she move, she covered the ground which she owned with ease, beautifully presented & never stopped showing, so in unison with her owner it really was a pleasure to be able to judge such a beautiful bitch who really fits the Standard & is truly fit for function. Went onto be pulled out in the group of some stunning terriers; 2 RCC, Stanley’s Ch Eyeona Star at Aricon, very classical, feminine white bitch, stunning expression, nicely arched neck, excellent front & neat feet. She was carrying a shade too much weight & her movement was very choppy, although her very experienced owner made the most of her virtues & did manage to get her to eventually walk well; 3 Van Kempen’s Ch Sea Lavender, stunning coloured bitch, beautiful head, filled & completely turned to perfection, good bone & bodylines, handled & showed very well, in excellent condition. GCB 1 Davis’ Louka Oklahama Gal, mature bitch who was completely with one with her owner & certainly made the most of herself & enjoyed walking around the spacious ring & the appreciation from the crowd.
