East Anglian Bull Terrier Club Open Show
Buckden, UK 7th February 2015
Judge: Mr Gary Newberry (Ukusa)
Thank you for the invitation to judge at East Anglian Bull Terrier Club. My stewards
were both helpful and knowledgeable and I would like to extend my appreciation
to them. A little concerning for the future of our breed that there were no puppies,
dogs or bitches, but overall, there was a very high standard of animals present. I
very much enjoyed the day.
VETERAN DOG OR BITCH (4 entered, 1 absent)
1. Haase’s BAVAZUELA INGEMAR JOH – big 10½ year old white dog with loads of
bone and substance. Decent profile and well filled head, incisors just under but
canines well placed. Reasonable front just showing signs of age, good feet,
decent shoulders and rear quarters, held topline on the move, moved well for
his age.
2. Brailsford’s BENJIP BLACK MAGIC AT KEARBY – 9½ year old black brindle &
white bitch with a good profile and adequate fill. Decent front, nice short back,
a little straight in the stifle with strong second thigh, moved reasonably well for
her age.
3. Kvarnstrom’s ESSENTIAL ELLA’S ALL OF ME.
JUNIOR DOG (1 entered, 0 absent)
1. Taylor’s RAGNAROK FJALAR – powerful 15-month-old red & white boy, a
pleasing deep rich red colour. Strong profile, excellent fill with no indentations,
ears well placed that just need to firm up a little, small eye and good expression.
Lovely round bone, straight front, decent feet, well angulated front and rear,
correct forechest, deep brisket, strong hindquarters. When moved correctly, he
moves very well with drive while holding his topline level. To be picky, he was a
touch loose but should tighten with age. Quality dog, one to watch. BEST DOG
& BEST OPPOSITE SEX.
NOVICE DOG (2 entered, 0 absent)
1. Richmond’s BLAZINBULLYS MR NOTORIOUS OF WAYMOAT – Eye catching,
substantial 18 month old white dog. Lovely sweeping profile, wicked eye,
perfect bite and the deepest of heads, just lacked fill. Excellent forechest,
straight front with cat like feet. Very deep brisket and short back, holds topline
solidly but slopes downward a shade too steeply from withers to croup. Very
strong turn of stifle, moved true in front, touch close behind. Very well handled.
2. Mills’ MIINROC ONLY THE BRAVE – red & white dog, good profile, fill and keen
expression, mouth just off. A little steep in shoulder but short coupled, deep
brisket, straight front and tight feet. Decent bone and substance, a touch
straight in stifle, moved ok coming, a little stilted going.
POST GRADUATE DOG (3 entered, 1 absent)
1. Waring’s DEANE’S BAD BOY – big heavyweight red and white dog, adequate
profile, excellent fill, well placed ears, decent eye and good bite but missing
tooth. Round bone, straight front, tight feet, level topline, reasonably short
backed, strong quarters, decent bend of stifle but slightly overweight. An
impressive boy all around. Moved reasonably well coming and going but
made his handler hard work to try to get the best of him.
2. Moore’s CHARMING KING – beautifully rich coloured brindle dog with decent
eye, well placed ears and perfect dentition. Could use more profile and
strength of head. Well angulated shoulders, ramrod straight front with very tight
cat like feet. Topline held level, correct rear angulation, moved excellently
coming and going with drive.
OPEN DOG (3 entered, 1 absent)
1. Twyman’s LARONBELLE’S MAGIC VISION– big, powerful upstanding white dog
with brindle eye patch, decent profile & fill although would like just a touch
more of both. Perfect bite, good reach of neck, decent shoulder placement,
good forechest, nice bone, good rear angulation, moved true coming and
going with power just lost topline slightly on the move. A quality dog, very well
handled. RESERVE BEST DOG.
2. Samson’s KOELLEN CUBEN GOLD – red & white dog, good profile, small eye and
perfect bite, lacks a little fill under the eye. Decent reach of neck, good
forechest, shoulders ok, front straight but weak pasterns. Back fairly short,
topline straight but slopes down into croup. Stifles well angulated but more
strength in the hindquarters needed. Moved close behind, paddled coming.
SPECIAL BROOD BITCH (5 entered, 1 absent)
1. O’Connell’S ELVROC WHO DARES WINS AT KOELLEN – Upstanding top quality
white bitch. Lovely arced profile with good depth of head, correct ear set,
wicked eyes and good bite, a touch more fill would complete the picture.
Lovely reach of neck, straight front, tight feet, level topline, good front and hind
angulation, moved well both ways. Very well presented and handled.
2. Sheppard & Howes’ RAGNAROK DARALIS WITH POLANCA – Super brindle &
white bitch with a sweeping profile, strong, deep well filled head and perfect
bite. Straight front, tight feet, shade long in back, strong hind quarters, moved
well both ways, very well handled. Quality bitch.
JUNIOR BITCH (4 entered, 2 absent)
1. Taylor’s RAGNAROK HOSTEN – Quality red & white bitch, unbroken smooth
profile, adequate fill, deep head and perfect bite. Long reach of neck, straight
front and tidy feet, holds her topline level and moves very well coming and
going, just needs to tighten up all around.
2. Oldmeadow’s UNIONBUL’S CATCHING FIRE – Rangy red & white bitch with a
long gentle profile which could use a shade more fill and turn. Ears bang on top,
small eyes, perfect incisors with one instanding canine. Nice reach of neck,
good forechest, level topline, deep brisket. Could use a little more weight to be
at her best. Moved close going, ok coming.
NOVICE BITCH (2 entered, 0 absent)
1. Coverdale’s UNIONBUL’S DIAMOND FLAME – Another excellent white bitch,
nicely arced profile, good depth of head with ok fill. Dark piercing eyes, perfect
bite, good reach of neck, strong forechest, straight front, tight feet and pleasing
body lines. Decent hindquarters with good bend of stifle. Although a little
lackadaisical, she moved true coming and going holding her topline level as
she went.
2. Stratton’s UNIONBUL’S FALLEN ANGEL – white bitch, just lacking in profile and fill
but good ear carriage, decent eye and correct mouth. Good bone, straight
front, level topline, short backed, a tad upright in shoulder and short in tail, but
strong hind quarters with good angulation, moved well in front, close behind.
POST GRADUATE BITCH (2 entered, 1 absent)
1. Taylor’s KOELLEN TRI BEING A GIRL AT ZANKOL – Impressive tricolour bitch with a
sweeping profile, excellent fill and depth of head but is a touch short and
undershot. Ears bang on top and a wicked eye. Good reach of neck, strong
forechest, straight front, tight feet, loads of bone and substance. Undercarriage
a little loose today, dropped topline on the move. A girl that excels in virtue, but
carries a few faults.
LIMIT BITCH (3 entered, 2 absent)
1. Bloom’s ABENAKI ROMANTIC DESTINY – Top notch cobby white bitch, smooth
profile, good fill and depth of head with perfect bite, ears a little close which
can distract from her expression, but bang on top. Not a big bitch, but strong in
bone and substance with a straight front, tight feet, deep brisket, level topline
and short coupled. A well angled stifle and strong second thigh, moves well
coming and going. RESERVE BEST BITCH & RESERVE BEST IN SHOW.

feminine bitch, exceptionally deep head, fabulous crashing profile, ears small
and well placed, good bite with one canine very slightly tight. Decent reach of
neck, straight front, tight feet, good shoulders and excellent forechest. Short
backed, deep brisket and stands four square. Holds topline on the move and
moves well coming, close going. A little feisty today, making her owner work
hard. BEST BITCH & BEST IN SHOW.
2. Kvarnstrom’s QUENTINHILL TJURPANNA – Super white bitch with gently arced
profile, head strong in depth and width, good ear carriage, teeth reverse
scissor. Ample forechest, straight front, tight feet with good bone and
substance. Level topline, well structured undercarriage and strong hindquarters.
Moved well both ways. Pushed hard in the final line-up.
