PARSON RUSSELL MANCHESTER 26 Judge: Mrs Suzanne Pattyn PARSON RUSSELL JUDGE MANCHESTER 26 First, I have to thank the Manchester Dog Show committee for inviting me to judge the Parson Russell Terrier. Also, a big thank you to the very capable stewards who helped me with the organisation of the entries and paperwork. Also, many thanks to the exhibitors who entered their dogs (38) and accepted my judgment and their sportsmanship. PD (3) 1. Smith Bellvalley Blackhawk of Alncroft, 11 months old, young dog, very flashy, well balanced with a wonderful head, nice well-set ears, correct stop, nice dark eye, good muzzle and teeth. Very nice neck which goes into a topline that could be a little firmer, good tailset and erect tail. Body with enough depth and substance, spannable. Nice angulation in front and rear. Good-boned legs and nice feet. Very good double coat. Moves very well, fluently and parallel. 2. Woods Glen Wayward Rumble, 1 year old dog, lovely size and shape with a nice head, nice earset and ears, nice shaped dark eye, good muzzle and teeth. Nice neck, well laid-back shoulders. Topline could be better and also the tailset. Front and rear angulation are OK. He is spannable. Nice boned legs and feet. Good rough double coat. Moves correctly but lacks practice. JD (2) 1. Mitchell Foxfur Espionage for Rodzina, 18 months old dog of excellent breed type, well balanced, complete white with two tan ears. He has a nice head with nice earset and very well-placed little tan ears. Nice dark eyes, so well pigmented. Good muzzle with excellent teeth and such a kind expression. Nice neck which ends in a clean front assembly with parallel forelegs. Nice ribcage and spannable. Good topline with good tailset and tail. Correct boned legs with compact feet. Nice angulation in front and rear. Very good rough pelt. He moves very well, parallel, with good reach and drive. He was very well presented. He became RD. 2. Prey Teare Zaracle Stirrup Style, 9 months old, nice dog, very masculine but much too tall in size. Masculine head with good earset and ears, nice dark eye, would like more stop, strong muzzle and teeth. Nice neck, topline, tailset and tail. Nice angulation in front and rear. Correct boned legs and feet, nice rough coat. Moves correctly with good drive. Overall nice dog but tall! LD (5,2) 1. Woods Wayward Timeless JW, 18 months old dog with a very nice masculine head, nice earset and ears, nice dark eye and strong muzzle with good teeth. Nice neck which goes fluently into a good topline and tailset. He is spannable. Angulation in front is OK, rear could be better angulated. Nice boned legs and feet. Excellent rough coat. Excellent mover, fluent with good drive. Needs a little more practice. 2. Manson Vienview Top Dollar, 11 months old dog with a nice masculine head, nice dark eyes, nice ears which are very well set, strong muzzle and good teeth, would like more stop. Nice neck which goes into well laid-back shoulders. Topline could be a bit firmer, good tailset and tail. Nice angulation in front and rear with good-boned legs and feet. Not spannable. Excellent coat. Moves very well. Pity he is too tall for the breed. OD (6,1) 1. Manson Fuller, Peterman, Am GCH Or CH Lux CH Int Ch Heir Apparent, almost 6 years old dog.
