DANDIE DINMONT MIDLAND COUNTIES 24 Judge: Vera Harcourt-Morris Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge the Dandie Dinmont Terriers at this show. There were some lovely examples of this charming breed, a little long in the foreface but in general the standard of the youngsters was very pleasing and with many young exhibitors coming into the breed this assures the future of this endangered breed. My judgements were accepted with good sportsmanship and made this a very enjoyable appointment. PD (3,1) 1 Redman’s Puddockswell Rockit 8 month. Mustard. Body shape developing well, giving good profile on the move. He is very confident in the ring. Head nicely domed, with bright dark eyes. Sound movement both ways and covered the ground well. Nice one for the future. 2 Cruden & Kaye’s Puddockswell Knuckles Mcginty For Shamsky. At 6 months. And still a raw baby and in full puppy coat. Taking everything in his stride. Nice head and expression will be interesting to see how he matures. JD (4) 1 Tinsleys Cloverwood Happy Daze. A stunning Mustard boy from this kennel. Lovely masculine head, dark eyes with soulful expression. Underjaw is strong for age and big teeth. His reach of neck in to shoulders very pleasing. Thick double jacket, beautifully presented as always . Good drive from rear, light loose in front due to age which will tighten up as his chest drops. RBD 3 Buckley’s Lovelottie Busy Bean. PGB (4,1) 1 Cundall’s Puddockswell What The Dickens Of Bleaklee Strongly made Mustard boy. Head correct and eye placement. Deep chest with ample rib good turn of stifle. Would like a little more length in loin. But he took this class by movement. 2 Cruden& Kaye’s Dyfevalley Midnight Blue Nice for type, carrying condition today, giving rather stocky outline. Super double jacket and net tail set. 3 Atkinson’s Poppetaiz Mrbluesky At Hullpride. OD (5,1) 1 Butchers’s Ch Mishahda Mischief Managed. This Mustard boy filled the eye when he entered the ring, Super example of this breed. Showing strength and elegance, beautifully prepared for the ring. His domed head fitted the hand, and silky pendulous ears. Big dark eyes well placed into the correct length of face. Big teeth for doing the work he was bred for. Neck strong and flowed into his lovely lay of shoulder. Chest deep with great ribcage. Length of loin and gentle curves provided the perfect outline for me. BOB 3 Drake and Kurg’s Ch Estill Mykillkvi With Tollcross 1 Bells Cloverwood Total Legend. He took this class with ease and will soon win himself out of this grade before long. Super Pepper and I look forward with interest to see how he does in the future. BSPB 2 Baker & Denton’s Cloverwood Storm Shaddow another nice dog from this kennel.
