ENGLISH BULL JUDGE WELSH KENNEL CLUB 16
I had forgotten what a beautiful backdrop the Welsh Kennel Club is set in. It may not
be the easiest venue to get to, but when you do, it is well worth the effort. Thank you
to all the exhibitors who did make that effort, as well as the two Trophy selectors
ringside. I was somewhat spoilt for choice in having quite a few CC and RCC quality
animals present, and even noted with disappointment that some of my absentees
were animals I have greatly admired from ringside. I was happy to hear that my Best
of Breed, CH Teirwgwyn Top Gun, not only stayed for the group but made the cut!
VETERAN DOG (1 entered, 0 absent)
1st. Sheppard & Howes’ RAGNAROK BALDER AT POLANCA – red & white eight year
old heavyweight that I have long admired. He is a dog that brings home the
adage of judging virtues over faults as his extreme virtues, even as a veteran,
far outweigh his mouth fault. He excels in bone and substance while retaining
balance. This powerfully built dog is a clean mover, covering the ground easily.
BEST VETERAN.
MINOR PUPPY DOG (2 entered, 2 absent)
JUNIOR DOG (1 entered, 1 absent)
POST GRADUATE DOG (6 entered, 3 absent)
1st. Karta-Williams & Williams’ BRIDEN FUN LOVIN CRIMINAL AT KARMARA- White
dog with brindle eye patch. A dog that I've seen ringside many times that I
didn't appreciate enough until putting my hands on him. He has a lovely, long
head that has enough fill and a correct scissor bite. Correct shoulder
placement with a strong second thigh. He moved well and was shown in
good condition. This noisy boy really made his handler work hard to get the
best out of him.
2nd. Kelly & Nisbet’s SERENBULL SOUL REDEMPTION– quality tricolour male with a
filled up arcing profile and a correct bite. He was compactly built with a short
back, slightly stuffy in the neck, good hind quarters and excellent feet. Well
handled.
3rd. Fletcher’s INDELIBULL INKREADIBLE– solid tricolour male with good power and
substance. His tendency to roach his topline earned him his position, although
that might have improved if moved at a faster pace.
LIMIT DOG (5 entered, 1 absent)
1st. Sheppard & Howes’ POLANCA POWERSLAVE – Excellent brindle & white male
carrying the perfect amount of weight. A top class male that is even more
pleasing when you get your hands on him, especially his head which is, strong,
long and filled with a correct bite. Balanced construction excelling in bone
and substance, powerful forechest, level topline and good hind angulation.
Moved well. In strong contention for top honours.
2nd. Leggatt’s RABRAM ROCK STAR – quality white with black brindle eye patch
male of a different type to 1. Super smooth, rugby head with no indentations,
nice arcing profile and good bite. Ultra short backed with good substance.
Good forechest and adequate hind angulation. Movement ok. His tendency
to stand bunched lost him the class.
3rd. Sheehy’s CIGANO DARK KNIGHT FOR AFANBULL– super headed black brindle
and white with amazing power to his head and neck. His movement on the
day let him down.
OPEN DOG (6 entered, 2 absent)
1st. Roberts’ CH TEIRWGWYN TOP GUN– Virtuous tricolour stallion of a dog exuding
power and type. Sweeping profile with abundance of fill and the widest of
heads. Excellent expression with small ears and tiny wicked eyes. Straight front
with cat like feet. Short backed with good hind angulation and adequate
shoulder placement. He moved with a jaunty air, covering the ground
effortlessly. I was honoured to bestow him with DOG CC & BEST OF BREED.
2nd. Emett’s BROOKBULLY AVENGER – powerful white dog with red head markings.
He has a wide, turned head with excellent fill and a correct bite. Short
coupled with good round bone, strong rear end and adequate shoulders.
Moved parallel with drive. A quality dog that deserves a title. RESERVE DOG
CC.
3rd. Catilina’s DOFRO TJURPANNA STORMRIDER– A very promising dog with a long
head and nice body lines. Lost out on maturity. His day will come.
PUPPY BITCH (5 entered, 1 absent)
1st. Fletcher’s KOMERITO JLO– showy 11-month-old red & white bitch with long,
filled, arcing head, good muzzle strength and a correct bite. She had good
substance for her size with balanced construction, straight front, standing
square with good lay of shoulder and nice hind angulation. She made her
handler work hard to win BEST PUPPY.
2nd. Sheppard & Howes’ RAGNAROK BACK IN BLACK FROM POLANCA – 12-monthold
(on the day) powerhouse of a black brindle & white bitch. One of the
best heads of the day with smooth arcing profile, good width with excellent fill
and a correct bite. Tremendous substance throughout, strong forechest and
well angled hind quarters, would like a shorter back to give a more balanced
picture. Overall, a quality bitch that was well handled and presented.
3rd. McCann’s HEAVEN WHITE LIGHT FLYWEIGHT AT DITON – 11½-month-old white
bitch with a lovely head piece, correct bite and nice bodylines. Lost out in
maturity.
JUNIOR BITCH (1 entered, 0 absent)
1st. John’s KENQUINCE SUMMER SCOOP – white with black ears. Profile and fill ok,
tad browy, correct bite. Slightly short in forearm, correct hind angulation, and
good substance. Moved parallel coming and going, but carried her bum
high. Well handled.
POST GRADUATE BITCH (6 entered, 4 absent)
1st. Thomas’ BRONYGARN PAPER MOON AT MOSTAHBULL – quality white bitch
carrying black brindle that was very eye catching. Excellent filled up head
with a smooth, arcing profile, small varminty eyes and correct canines. Well
made with correct angulated shoulders and hind quarters. Tendency to string
out on the move, but moved with drive. Pushing hard for top honours.
2nd. Hewitt’s INDIGO INCA– brindle & white bitch that was nicely balanced in
construction overall but could do with a tad more bone. Nice turned head
with enough fill, would like a bit more strength to her muzzle. Moved parallel
coming and going.
LIMIT BITCH (4 entered, 2 absent)
1st. White’s BILBOEN ANGELS KISS – strong headed tiger brindle & white bitch that
stood four square, not putting a paw wrong. She had a lovely turned and
filled head, slight mouth fault. Short coupled with good lay of shoulder and
enough angulation. Moved close going, parallel coming.
2nd. Mills’ MIINROC ENVY ME – red & white bitch with good overall bodylines, gentle
profile that could benefit from a tad more fill. Correct length of back, nice
forechest and strong second thigh, in good condition and well handled but
didn’t seem to be enjoying herself on the day.
OPEN BITCH (6 entered, 1 absent)
1st. Coverdale’s UNIONBUL’S DIAMOND FLAME – white bitch with black head
marking. Very correct bitch with a pleasing head and a nice profile, good fill,
a perfect bite and super expression. Small, well placed ears and good small,
dark eyes. Short coupled with enough forechest and a strong second thigh
that helped propel her with drive (when she settled), helping her move parallel
coming and going. Pleased to award her the BITCH CC & BEST OPPOSITE SEX.
2nd. Dobbin’s CH DEBULLY VAGABOND QUEEN – white bitch with black ears.
Sweeping profile with enough fill, small, well-placed eyes and a good mouth.
She had good substance for her bone and was carrying the correct amount of
weight. Not as short coupled as 1. Good lay of shoulder and correct hind
angulation. Moved parallel but had a tendency to string out on the move.
Her overall quality couldn’t be denied and won her the RESERVE BITCH CC.
3rd. O’Connell’s KOELLEN PENNY BLACK – typy short coupled black brindle & white
bitch in shining condition. Lovely sweeping profile with good fill and good,
small eyes. She didn’t seem to be enjoying herself on the day losing her a
higher placement
