Thank you to the Officers and Committee for the kind invitation to judge this breed and a special thanks to all who entered your lovely dogs under me. I really enjoyed this appointment with some difficult decisions.
I must also thank the two excellent stewards on the day.
Special Beginners Dog or Bitch 1 entry
1st Ward, Littlemount Raspberry Leaf. Very pretty bitch puppy, super coat texture, very feminine expression, good ear placement, moved well reaching in front. Kept her topline on the move. Pleased to see her winning the Terrier Special Beginners Group.
Puppy Dog 1
Gee, Watercroft Rumour Has It. 9 month old puppy. Excellent overall type, with a super strong head with broad skull and wide muzzle with good bite. Excellent coat texture and presentation, good shoulder placement, Moved well both ways. Pleased to award him Best Puppy in Breed and delighted to see him placed 2nd in a strong Terrier Puppy Group. I am sure he will have a very bright future. One to watch.
Junior Dog 1
Thompson-Morgan, Belleville Turn the Tables. Good head and expression with a dark eye and strong muzzle with good bite and large teeth. Super straight front and well angulated rear, strong bone. Very well presented. A little unsure of himself in the noise in the hall today, but when settled moved well.
Yearling Dog 0
Post Graduate Dog 0
Limit Dog
1st Jenkins, Dark Moon. Black and Tan male, Strong masculine head and super expression with a dark eye, correct ear carriage and good bite, Good shoulder placement and strong bone. Super coat texture so well presented. Moved well reaching and driving,
2nd Ward, Littlemount Celyn Y Mor. Unlucky to meet 1 today. Pleasing head with a broad skull. I just preferred substance, shoulder placement and front of the winner.
Open Dog 3
1st Gee, Ch Watercroft Easy Tiger. What can I say about this boy that has not been said before. A super type who catches the eye as soon as he enters the ring. So very well made, reaching and driving with a very strong rear, and keeping his topline on the move. If I am being ultra critical perhaps he is a little overweight, but having said that he is a super male and could not be denied the CC and BOB today..
2nd Thompson-Morgan, Ch Layhefields Great Ridge By Belleville. Another super type with a pleasing head and strong muzzle, super bite. Very short coupled, Good should placement, well angulated hindquarters, moved very well. No hesitation in awarding him the RCC today. Two super quality males. On another day they may well change places.
3rd Nunez, Treehouse Always There For You (ATCBC8069USA)
Veteran Dog 0
Puppy Bitch 3
1st Gee, Watercroft Juicy Gossip. What a super young lady. Litter sister to the puppy dog. Another super type with lovely feminine head and expression and good bite. Good shoulder placement, short coupled, moving with reach and drive and keeping her topline on the move. A difficult decision when challenging her litter brother for Best Puppy in Breed, however, I just preferred his substance and showmanship.
2nd Mullan, Watercroft Tittle Tattle, What a litter, a litter sister to the winner of the class and the dog puppy. Another super type, with good head properties, very similar attributes as the winner, not an easy decision.
3rd Ward, Littlemount Raspberry Leaf
Junior Bitch 1
1st Jenkins, Kinsridge Strawberry Moon. I loved this bitch and she pushed hard for the CC. So well balanced, with super head and expression, super coat and presentation, moved so true, really striding out with a strong level topline which she kept on the move. I was pleased to award her the RCC I am sure she will have a very bright future. I will watch her with interest. I was delighted to hear after judging that she already has 3 CC’s. I am not surprised.
Yearling Bitch 1
1st MacCartney, Nordalset Storming In To Ivrig. Black and Tan bitch. Pretty head and expression with good ear placement. Slightly longer in body. Very happy in the ring moving well.
Post Graduate Bitch 1
1st Phillip, Nordalset Brite N’Shiny, Nice bitch to go over. Feminine head with good bite and expression. Deep in chest. Moved well.
Limit Bitch 2
1st Tate, Jaeva Poker Face. Black and Tan. Very feminine bitch, broad skull, good ear placement and dark eye, good bite. Straight front, well angulated rear giving her reach and drive and keeping her topline on the move.
2nd Haydon & Hurrion, Villassa Quote of Kisses at Earthlaw JW. Another very nice type with a good head and expression. Difficult decision I just preferred the front on the winner, hence the second place.
Open Bitch 3 (1 abs)
1st Gee, Ch Watercroft Stitch in Time. A lovely bitch to go over everything in the right place. So well balanced with a super outline. Lovely broad head and super expression with good bite and dark eye. Super coat texture and presentation. Well angulated front and rear. Hocks well under giving drive when moving and keeping her topline on the move, very short coupled. Pleased to award her the Bitch CC.
2nd Thompson-Morgan, Belleville Firestar. Another quality bitch. Larger type than the winner, good head and expression, strong bone. I just preferred the shoulder placement and movement of the winner
Veteran Bitch 1
MacCartney, Ivrig Dancing in the Sun. Almost 8 years old. Pleasing head with dark eye. Ears could fall closer to the cheek. .Very happy to be in the ring. Really enjoying herself and moving well for her hander. Best Veteran in Breed.
