ENGLISH BULL CRUFTS 25 Firstly, a special thanks to my stewards Justine & Maxine who expertly marshalled the ring and handled the paperwork/technology with aplomb although I understand did have its hiccups. No matter what some may say Crufts is a very special show and to all who entered under me from near and far my heartfelt thanks for the honour of going over your dogs. VD (2) 1 Bluepoint Patchogue At Miandale (Dodd) White black ear a young veteran Head very well structured with good depth and width nice profile expressive eyes and neat well place ears. Straight front and good depth of chest. Long neck leading to level topline Well muscled back end but would like more bend of stifle. Moved with drive both ways. Excellent presentation and handlining BV 2 Teirwgwyn Phantom Jester For Ukusa (Mills) 8 year old Red and white. Another solid well shaped head and plenty of fill and depth of muzzle. Correct bone and substance, good shoulders and topline leading to solid back end. Strode out on the move a credit to his handler. PD (1) 1 Razorsedge Berry Lane At Tegenbull (Pope) 11 month white with red eye patch and ear marking. A very immature puppy but one I hope may develop as he matures. Long head with flowing profile and good finish having balanced in depth and width of skull correct ear carriage and well set eye. Clean neck into well laid shoulders, straight front, level topline which he kept on the move. His immatureity is reflected in the depth of chest and rear muscles which hopefully he will develop with time. Well presented and handled. JD (2) 1 Rightstuff Black Knight (Mills) 17 month black brindle and white. A very striking dog with a powerful head nice fill and profile well placed eyes and ear carriage correct mouth. Strong neck into good shoulders and topline, short coupled with a well developed chest and ribs. Powerful rear which leads to excellent drive on the move. Well presented and handled 2 Earlsgrave’s Power Lomu (Long) 17 month Red and white. Again correct head shape with profile and fill well placed eye and ear carriage correct mouth. Unfortunately the whole Crufts experience got the better of him and did not show his potential on the move Super coat and condition PGD (4) 1 Devarca Anything Goes At Dwelinebull (Sullivan) Brindle and white Cobby individual very well put together. Head correct shape with enough profile and depth well placed eye and ears correct mouth. Four square in front with deep chest.

Shown in super condition and a credit to his owner 3 Vataha The Kingpin (Horton) LD (4) 1 Karmara’s Sugar Daddy Karta-Williams & Williams) White with ear and eye markings. A very classical bull terrier Upstanding dog with a lovely long profile coupled with plenty of depth and fill. Correct mouth, well placed eye ears on top but a bit lazy in their use. Strong well developed chest, Level topline over well sprung ribs. Nicely constructed hindquarters. Moved easily with full strides covering the ground. Disappointingly has a tendency to overstretch when standing Well handled and presented 2 Kenzduo Black Bean At Dukerline (Thomas) Black brindle and white Excellent make and shape Masculine head with lovely expression with a little bit of devilment in the eye. Stands correct in front with super round bone leading to tight feet. Good topline leading to strong quarters and good bend of stifle. On the move he likes to do his own thing and makes his handler work however when settled moves well in front but close behind. Excellent condition and accredit to his hander for her perseverance. 3 Villensia Wildest Dreams (Hosking & Mitchell) OD (9,2) 1 Ch Napier Pure Copper (Fletcher) A+ Bull Terrier who completely owns the ground he stands on. Power throughout. Outstanding shape in head flowing profile without exaggeration bags of fill under the eyes which are correct in shape and placement Full rounded muzzle with very strong underjaw. Muscular neck leading to a level topline and is very short coupled for a dog of his size. Straight fronted, with gun barrel chest, tucked in elbows and well sprung ribs. Behind super strong quarters with well defined second thigh and bend of stifle This is reflected in the way he moves both ways easily extending in front and spot on behind, over the years I have been lucky enough to own dogs who excelled in their movement and there is nothing better than watch one especially a big one who makes it look effortless Overall in super condition and expertly handled DCC BOB 2 Satyricon’s Ice Cube Atcbb94032nld (Caprino) White first class make and shape.
