DANDIE DINMONT CITY OF BIRMINGHAM 09 Judge: Mrs Zena Thorn-Andrews DANDIE DINMONT JUDGE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM 09 Dandie Dinmont Terriers VD (2,1a) 1 Jacka-Slater’s Cassencarrie Robbie Burns, lovely head & eye, good front & bone. Handler has no control over him whatsoever & allowed him great liberties. Good body & over loin. Needs to drop over crop & movement very difficult to assess as he was allowed to go wherever he wanted. Got lucky as he was alone. I must admit he was better in the challenge. JD (2) 1 Bullock & Keevil’s Yazga Love The One You’re With, lovely head & muzzle, broad jaws, in good coat, excellent front & ribbing. A touch flat in back & needs more rear angulation. Well set & carried tail, packed with muscle; 2 Culverhouse’s Cassencarrie Gandalf at Lykath, looked good standing but a little elbowy moving & roached his back up too much. Well muscled & conditioned, lovely body shape. Not quite in coat. PGD (1) 1 Cooper’s Margham Feather Duster, gay, happy boy, full of himself, nice to go over & in pleasing coat & muscle, large head, well set eyes, strong muzzle, good neck, well made ribbing & correct over loin & croup, carries his tail nicely, sound & active & quite strong. LD (4) 1 Carter’s Cassencarrie James Blonde, excellent size & proportions, liked his head. Eyes a bit too large perhaps. Well set ears, OK in front & front movement, deep well ribbed chest, neat rear, well set tail. A bit out of coat on the sides of his back but texture OK over croup so guess it usually is OK. Moved truly & has a good stride in profile. RCC; 2 Denham’s Scottsbairn Duke Of Ross, biggish sort of dog, very masculine & well set up, eyes also very large, strong neck, OK in front, bone & feet. Topline a wee bit flat & carries his tail too high. Excellent quarters & beautifully muscled up; 3 France’s Torbrae Dance N Dazzle. OD (2) 1 Deacon’s Ch/Am Ch Pennywise Burning Ambition for Cassencarr, smart & active on the move, true & very precise both ways, lovely head & eyes, strong neck, excellent coat & falling in pencils, deep enough & well made quarters. Could slope down a wee bit more over croup. Happy chap & shows well. CC, BOB & G2; 2 Hamilton’s Margham Moon Duster, big boy, very strong & true moving. Looked a little too boxy for a weaselly breed. Good firm legs & tidy feet, well set tail. Coat rather over the top. Lovely expression & beautiful eyes. VB (0). PB (3) 1 Morris’ Pennywave Amaryllis, really lovely puppy, the size & shape I was hoping for, correct topline, pleasing head & expression, OK in front, enough bone for size, well set & carried tail. Just needs more muscle & she will really hit the heights. Moved well. BP; 2 Lomas’ Cloverwood Double Delight, pretty head & eyes. Rather upright in shoulders & lacks angulations. Lovely crisp coat, good temperament & moved OK for age; 3 Pearson’s Norfolkhaven Black Tulip. JB (1) 1 Hughes’ Maganbar Silver Geisha, so pretty, in expression is soft & melting, reasonable front. Just a little elbowy. Excellent body & topline. Swings her rear when going away & coat a little rough looking. Well set tail, a strong bitch & of good type. PGB (5,2) 1 Heywood’s Schalulleke Clara Jones, good size & proportions of height to length, beautiful head, eyes & length of muzzle, OK in front, good shapely body, well ribbed, nicely set on tail. Out of coat but has hard texture on croup so guess she is OK usually. Moved soundly; 2 Osbourne’s Pitfirrane Silver Lady for Braego, very overweight& she needs a diet. A bit too flat in topline. So sound & true moving & a lovely colour & coat, great personality & happy girl moving & showing; 3 Milliner’s Millerim Reubis Jeudi. LB (7,1) 1 Morris’ Hendell Tassel at Pennywave, very sound & workmanlike build, good head & muzzle, well set ears, strong neck, well boned & good firm feet, excellent body, topline & ribbing, OK in rear. Needs a couple more weeks for her back coat to come through but hard good texture was there. Super mover. CC; 2 Denham’s Dentgate Serendipity, a bit miserable & would not use her tail. OK for type. Not quite the front of 1 or forechest. Kept her topline well, lovely head & expression, moved well to take the RCC; 3 Bromley’s Mishahda Tempting Touch. OB (2) 1 Hughes’ Maganbars Play Misty For Me, lovely temperament & condition, good body & topline, well carried tail. Front could be set a little further back & a bit more neck would improve. Well handled & excellent body condition, fair mover. ZENA THORN-ANDREWS
