ENGLISH BULL JUDGE NATIONAL TERRIER 15

Bull Terriers

Always a pleasure to judge this breed with its unique ways & character, quite a challenge physically as they are so strong & athletic. Show training is not high on the agenda for Bull Terrier exhibitors & many took some time to settle down to something like a normal trot. They were all good natured & energetic, so with a bit of patience we got there eventually.

Some of the classes were a bit thin on the ground & lacking quality. The bitches generally were of better quality & type, mouths weren’t too bad but several had poor feet. Gay tails on the move were fairly common & spoils the finished picture.

But the worst today was the dreaded clown paint which you can’t even wipe off. My suit went straight to the dry cleaners & my hands were white & greasy, horrible stuff. There is nothing wrong with chalk if used properly & brushed out.

Driving home I passed White Waltham Place & the famous kennels on the other side of the road. Recalling so many happy times going to the trophy shows, visiting Mr Oppenheimer at home, taking overseas friends to see the dogs & puppies. That was such a different world & it started me thinking of all those clever old breeders no longer with us. I can remember like yesterday judging my first ever veteran stakes class at an all breed ch show where a lot of famous dogs from a cross section of breeds were entered. Although a bit stiff in movement & with a few missing teeth, there he was, Ch Abraxas Audacity, still with that Bull Terrier swagger & true magnetism – he gave me the look, that piercing glint that no other breed possesses & of course he won. You never forget moments like that.
