SCOTTISH JUDGE NATIONAL TERRIER 14

Scottish Terriers

A lovely entry of 63 awaited me at National Terrier, this very special show for terrier people. Our ring was in the annexe & some of the dogs certainly did not like the noise & echoes.

I was pleased with the puppies who took it all in their stride. It was a pity there was no veteran class scheduled as I had quite a few older Scotties who were well presented & conditioned but who couldn’t quite hold their own against 2-3 year olds.

Temperaments throughout were excellent. Several were shown overweight & there were some rather big, hefty bitches who for me lacked femininity. Presentation could have been better here & there – masses of furnishings left on the outside of the hindquarters & front legs do not enhance the finished look of a well turned out Scottie.

There were a few with wide set, large ears but they were in the minority.

MPD (0).

PD (4)

1 BP & RCC, Plane’s Stuane Kings Sword, 9 months black, comfortable winner, very together for one so young, such a sound mover with excellent reach & drive, short back, tail on top, good coat texture, well bodied. Keen & alert in expression & demeanour, full of character, just looked better & better & in the challenge could not be denied the RCC;

2 Earl’s Eskwyre Tom Foolery at Rolanka, 11 months brindle, no mistaking him for anything but a full blooded male. Masculine head, muscular neck, big body & rib, well presented & handled, good bone & substance. Not moving too well in front;

3 Hill’s Samstever Gold Amulet.

JD (5,1a)

1 Plane’s Stuane Royal Myth, 11½ months, half brother to PD winner. Quality puppy, in good form, steady showman, good bone & depth of chest, clean head of good length, intelligent expression, neat ears, sturdy body, harsh jacket, good tailset & carriage, moved quite well;

2 Todd’s Eskwyre Waterloo Sunset, 17 months black, masculine head, well rounded ribs, deep chest, ample bone, moved OK, showed well when something took his interest. Ears a little wide set, coat not as harsh as 1. Slightly long cast;

3 Hardy’s Magandthan Black Bronze.

PGD (6,1)

Difficult class as a couple who I liked just refused to show.

1 Sykes’ Sandbourne Ready Freddie Go, 23 months brindle, harsh coat but presentation could be improved. Focused showman who moved quite well. Typical head of good length, dark eyes, fit & well muscled;

2 Meek’s Benartybrae Macarena at Benbetham, half brother to 1. 2 years wheaten, excellent coat texture, strong body, showed with spirit when he felt like it. Excellent bone. Just a little plain in head;

3 Greenwood’s Petmon Royal Magician.

LD (5,1)

1 Shaw’s Elfricia New Adventure with Terratom, black, coming up to 4, good size & type, won this class with a bit to spare. Well conditioned & presented, excellent coat, well proportioned with good ribcage, most attractive head & expression, performed well. Good tailset & carriage;

1 CC, Rutherford’s Carisco Midas Touch, 2½ years wheaten with very good coat texture. Fit & healthy with firm sturdy body, good bone, ribs carried well back, muscular neck, level topline, moved with a purpose, showed with composure & fully deserved the CC, his first after 4 RCCs. I liked his head & expression, dark almond shaped eyes & very good pigment;
