DANDIE DINMONT JUDGE 13

Dandie Dinmont Terriers

MPD (2)

1 O’Malley’s Waitensee Charlie Farley, up to size but I felt he had the better head, eyes & expression. He is well ribbed, lots of substance & a decent spring of rib. A degree of rise over the loin, well set tail & good coat texture. Was the steadier of the two in action;

2 Bell’s Hawkesmill Indigo, much smaller & just a babe of 6 months & he is lacking spring of rib & coat. I liked his size & length balance, he does have that slight dip behind the withers & his head & expression were fine. Needs ring training as he joined the ‘nose down, bums high’ brigade as he went around the ring, making his action hard to assess.

PD (0).

JD (2)

1 Gregg’s Dariant Lui Venceddor Di Mi Soul at Bambuse, I liked the head properties, eyes & expression on this mustard youngster. He has a really good neck & head carriage, is well ribbed. Back a little flat so the typical backline is not there but he moved out with an event action & was well handled;

2 Hayes & Harrod’s Etsill Rognvald, pepper, well domed skull, ample strength in muzzle, eyes a shade on the hull side for me which detracted from his expression & I would like his ears to lie closer to his faced. He was in good coat, has a divine temperament & strutted his stuff with confidence.

PGD (2,1a)

1 RBD, Jacka-Slater’s Pennywave Lone Ranger, a bit of a problem for me as I did like his head & expression, beautiful eyes, well domed head & lovely ears. He has enough neck & holds himself well on the move. Backline a little flat & he could drive a little more from his hocks as he circles the ring. However, he is a well balanced chap, was in good coat & well presented.

OD (2,1)

1 BOB & G2, Tinsley’s Ch Cloverwood Royal George, big winning mustard dog with an air of obvious class, screams breed type, glorious headpiece, stunning expression & his body/wither height proportions are spot on for balance. Sound as they come he has an air of supreme confidence & moves around the ring with such drive & energy. Immaculate in presentation he was an easy BOB.

VD (0).

MPB (3,1)

1 BP, Russell’s Hawkesmill Ishbelle, ultra feminine little madam with the most appealing head & expression. Loved her eyes & that ‘Dandie’ look. She does have a lovely backline which was so missing today, is nicely ribbed with a well set neck of decent length, & has a good bend of stifle to strong hocks. Has a long way to go, but the look is there & she will appeal to most with that gaze;

2 O’Malley’s Belpapavo Aleka Allamanda, not in the show bloom of the winner, coat a bit ragged at present but she handles well on the table. Well bodied with such a good ribcage, decent dip & arch over the loin leading to a well set tail. Pleasing head, eyes & expression & she is such a happy person. Another whose action was hard to assess as she was Bloodhound impersonating – nose down, tail wagging!

JB (3)

1 RBB, Kurg’s Etsill Skara Brae, I liked her a lot. So very feminine, could perhaps have a tad more substance but she is so balanced, lovely proportions, super neck & topline, lovely feet & that really winning expression from such beautiful eyes & a good skull. She was so steady & sound in action;

2 Bell’s Lannia Harvest Charm, mustard who is lacking in body at present. She has a nice headpiece, good eyes & a decent foreface. Backline a bit flat & she needs to strengthen in hock. Steady in profile action & a lovely temperament;

3 Nice’s Cassencarrie Cleo Rose.

PGB (2)

1 BB, Tinsley’s Cloverwood Drama Queen, what a charming pepper this is. The typical quality head & expression we expect from this affix, lovely size & weight of bone for her sex, excellent quality coat, super backline with that so desired slight arch & powerful hindquarters. Her coat was flawless in presentation & she moved around the ring with a light, positive action. I see she is a half sister to the BOB & hopefully she will emulate him to her title;

2 O’Malley’s Florencemoon Mrs Pepperpot, not in the coat condition & presentation of Queen but I did like her eyes, so soft, bright & wise. Good skull, nice neck, shade overlong in body, but she has tight feet & is pretty active on the move.
