ENGLISH BULL LKA 22 Judge: Mrs P Sands (Krakenexis) ENGLISH BULL JUDGE LKA 22 What a treat lay in store for me at LKA, sincere thanks to the exhibitors who gave me such a large entry, by today’s standards, with few absentees. I couldn’t have asked for better with regards consistent quality, evenness and type. The dogs made use of the big ring and the excellent movement of my winners was plain for all to see. I won’t be commenting on individual mouths as they were such a mixed bunch, nonetheless, congratulations to those that presented with “teeth sound, clean, strong, of good size, regular with perfect, regular and complete scissor bite, i.e. upper teeth closely overlapping lower teeth and set square to the jaws”. My thanks to stewards Geraldine and Judith, who carried on through my two breeds and then another after me. 1. Lewis’ Laronbelle’s Detonate. Solid brindle, just at the right stage for his age, a baby at just six months old. His head is coming along nicely with curve and fill, body and movement a little loose at present, but to be expected at just on 6 months old. BP. 1. Galla’s Vetsbullies Living on my Own. At 17 months this cracking white lad has a pleasing head, small well-placed eyes and ears on top. Good for bone and straight front. He has an even top-line & strong quarters which he used on the move and neat feet. 1. Young’s Kirkville Tokyo Jo. I liked this shapely white boy, he has strength all through but nothing overdone. Good for profile and fill, he has a keen expression. He has enough depth in chest, good bone, elbows tucked in and well angulated, muscular quarters. Moved OK and presented in good show condition. 2. Moore’s Tilleah Brilliant Disguise, heavier set dog and not the head of 1st but with the tiniest of eyes. Strong muscular neck, excellent bone, well rounded ribs and a good tail set. Moved well. My goodness, what a class, so much quality. 1. Probert’s Dream Lover of Widget’s - Bull at Llanwenarth (imp POL). Oh my, what a find, such super type, this white lad is quality with a capital “Q”. Each piece simply flowed into the next on this dog, he’s so stylish. He has a super head with a sweeping profile with fill and enough width to his muzzle. His neck is long and muscular leading into sloping shoulders and his clean limbs holding enough bone. He has strength in top-line, albeit a tad long, such shapely quarters with strength producing drive. Presented in perfect show condition, his white coat was sparkling and of correct texture, plus he’s handled to the best advantage. His easy movement is a joy to behold; I was delighted to award him the CC & BOB. I was told afterwards it’s his 3rd and he looked a picture in the group. 2. Mathison’s Blazinbullys Back To Black. Another male from the top drawer. Although this Bl/Br is of a differing type to 1, he excels all through. What a character this lad is and so eye-catching. His head has such power, long with fill, good for underjaw and neat ears. Super depth of chest, short back, good for ribbing and a strong loin. He has muscular thighs, well bent stifles and stands on tight feet. He most certainly is full of spirit with a fun-loving attitude. A more than worthy champion and happy to award the Res CC, not quite the movement of 1st 3. Tewkesbury’s Tewkabull Peaky Blinder. 1. Davison’s Marella Ki rkby Glistening Snow, lovely 8 years white girl, very shapely for her age and quite substantial although all in proportion. She has a good head with expression, a good length of upper arm giving depth of chest, nicely angulated quarters and a level top-line. Moved OK. Two lovely bitches of similar type, splitting hairs here. 1. Thompson/Woodward’s Barnesmore Ice Angel Gorbain. Super body lines on this feminine, 14 months white with black ears. Beautiful unbroken curve to her head, strong underjaw and neat ears. She has good angulation at both ends and is good for top-line and tail set. Moved well. 1. Machin’s Orbal Hot Enough. Tri, pleasing head & expression, muscular neck, enough depth of chest, good top-line compact feet, moved and handled well. 2. Dodds’ Miandale Ice Queen, another shapely girl using her ears to give a good expression, well balanced all through and presented in immaculate order. 3. Kinder’s Meilow Pure Gold at Dodge City 1. Dorrington’s Lovely Doris at Blaisers. Br/Wh, what a stunner with an unbroken curved to her well filled head, she has a piecing glint to her eye and neat ears. Good length of neck leading to well angulated shoulders. She has a good underline, hocks well let down and a strong second thigh. Moving smoothly and covering the ground she was seriously considered for top honours. 2. Karta-Williams/Williams’ Karma Ra’s Little White Lie. I have done her mother well on a previous occasion. A big girl, she has strength in head and underjaw, she has a good front with plenty of bone although a little longer cast than 1st; she has good angulation at both ends and moving off well with her with muscular quarters. 3. Kittle’s Treszia Devils Quilla What a class, such quality throughout! 1. Morris/Heath’s Bluepoint Goshawk. This white girl has such wonderful body lines, she’s absolutely beautiful and really is her mother’s daughter to whom I’ve done well on a previous occasion. She has a gentle curve to her feminine head with neat ears. She has a good length of upper arm and well laid shoulders, a well-rounded body and enough spring to her ribs. She has a strong loin and top-line, muscular quarters and is presented in very fit condition. Moving with free, easy strides I was more than happy to award her the CC. Her second, I’m told and can’t imagine her third is too far away. 2. Dennison’s Beaverden Atomic. Another quality white who’s built on similar lines to 1st and the same remarks apply, she’s just a smidge shorter on the muzzle. She has a small eye and neat ears, a muscular neck of good length and a well-made front. She’s built right all through and in such athletic condition. Her gleaming coat has a good texture and she stands on neat feet. Handled to perfection and getting the best out of her, I was pleased to award her the Res CC. 3. Karta-Williams/Williams’ Karmara’s Tough Tyger.
