NORFOLK BORDER UNION 12 Judge(s): MRS CATHY THOMPSON-MORGAN (BELLEVILLE) Norfolk Terriers PD (4) 1 Phillips’ Jaeva Peeping Tom, very attractive typy b/t, short back, good neck & shoulder, well proportioned head, well carried tail, more mature than 2 Phillips’ Blakens Xpress Yourself, lovely head & eye, excellent shoulder. Longer cast than 1 but better bite; 3 Davies’ Villassa Morrello. JD (5) Very close thing between these two, different types but lots to like in both of them. 1 Phillips, Gullick & Wilding’s Javea Made In Gold, won on overall balance, good length of neck, straight front, level topline, good bone & rib, moved well both ways. Just prefer more depth of brisket to bring him lower to the ground but that should come with maturity. CC & BOB; 2 Smith’s Javidel May Just Have Too, beautiful head & eye. Just not the neck & balance of 1. Short back, good spring of rib & depth of brisket. Bit unsettled on move but when settled moved well. RCC; 3 Hilditch’s Watercroft Royal Mail. PGD (3) 1 Hurrion’s Villassa Done Deal, quality b/t in excellent coat, more compact than 2, good head & mouth, nice bone & substance, showed & moved well. Just lacked that extra something in challenge; 2 Simpson’s Emgage Longton cum Megalex, attractive dog, longer cast than 1, moved very well both ways but not showing his best here. LD (3) 1 Green’s Wharfvalley Diamond Star, short & compact, good head & expression, nice bone & spring of rib, coat holding together. Prefer longer upper arm to improve front movement; 2, Mountfield’s Arderry Sky Rocket, nice dog, not as compact as 1 but has quality & bone, good spring of rib, strong skull & muzzle, in lovely coat. OD (4) 1 Mitchell’s Roxway Direct Line, very short & compact, strong skull & muzzle, good bite, nice length of neck, in excellent coat, I have given him a RCC before, however front movement let him down in the challenge. A very pleasing overall picture when standing; 2 Atkinson’s Moortop No Choice, a dog I have often admired, well proportioned head but without the strength of 1, compact, very good spring of rib, in excellent condition, moved & showed well. PB (8) 1 Phillips’ Blakens Starlight Xpress, very attractive quality puppy, good head, short & cobby, moved well both ways, showed well; 2 Cooper’s Tegwani Dream for Settrenda, very similar to 1 but not the shoulder & front & slightly longer cast. Better bite than 1, showed very well. Needs to be steadier on move; 3 Hurrion’s Vilassa Cherry Ripple. JB (1) 1 Stevenson’s Brickin Pipe Dream, very showy, well built 6 months puppy, cobby with good spring of rib, nice feminine head with lovely dark eye, in good coat, moved well both ways. PGB (5) 1 Mitchell & Phillips’ Tegwani Crystal Ball, very short b/t, good skull & mouth. Prefer more stop. Good spring of rib. Front movement let her down in challenge; 2 Harpham & Hulance’s Diggery What A Treasure, longer cast than 1 & not in best coat. Nice head but not the strength of 1. Level topline, moved well both ways. More mature than 3 Newton’s Strathinver Reddy To Star. LB (1) 1 Stevenson’s Brickin Hop And Skip, very showy red in good coat, could have a stronger head but overall presence & balance made up for that in challenge, correct bite, moving well both ways. Made a good pair with the dog in the BOB challenge. CC. OB (5) 1 Gee’s Watercroft Hot Love, quality bitch I have often thought has been unlucky, nice head, excellent presentation, looking lovely here, cobby & moving well, bone OK, good spring of rib, well balanced, just flagging in challenge. RCC; 2 Green’s Wharfvalley Diamond Diva, not the head or substance of 1, good mouth, nice hindquarters, moved well. CATHY THOMPSON-MORGAN |
