Skye Terriers

PD (0).

JD (1)

1 King’s Celticbridge North Wind, promising cream of good substance, good eye. Would prefer more fringing to ears. Correct bite, strong jaw, well made, coat coming in nicely for age & of hard texture, level topline. Moved OK, needs to settle but am sure he will given time.

PGD (6)

1 Samuel’s Skyelander Wee Man of Storr, have judged this young drop eared silver boy before & liked him very much again. Beautiful head & expression, correct bite, strong jaw, well constructed, lovely reach of neck, good length of rib, long, low with level topline, floated round the ring moving soundly. CC, just lost out in the BOB challenge as he would not settle to show himself off to best advantage;

2 Harrison’s Knowlespring Jail House Roc for Trenson, very close decision, lovely cream youngster. They could change places another day, similar remarks apply. Well constructed & as always moved well. Could have used his ears to better advantage;

3 Lynch’s Kenmilltri Fraxinus.

LD (4)

1 Barrass’ Gallondean Moonlight Shadow, gorgeous headed dog, correct bite, good earset, strong jaw, well constructed with great back movement. Wish he would carry his tail a little lower;

2 Pringle’s Tsuki Outlaw Star, well made young man, has all the essentials of construction, good bite, long, low & level. Have seen him more settled, needs a bit more time for furnishings to come in;

3 Macqueen’s Lynaire Mr Darcy of Azrakhan.

OD (8,2)

1 Barraclough’s Ch Skyeotts Midnight Majesty at Wemoway, another gorgeously headed drop ear, black, correct bite, lovely eye, strong jaw, well made, moved well & soundly, presentation lovely. RCC, just preferred length of CC winner;

2 Breeze’s Salena Black Shadow, as always from this kennel presented to perfection, nicely made young man, lovely head, moved effortlessly round the ring. Just a shade higher than one.

3 Garland-Collins’ Bhuidh Steamy windows

PB (1)

1 Richardson’s Talyot Katy, pretty puppy with pleasing head & expression, correct bite, held her topline moving & standing. BP.

JB (0).

PGB (6)

1 Downes’ Jeraro S’Wonderful of Tsuki, pretty bitch, nice eye, good mouth, pleasing head, good earset, well made & well presented, moved OK;

2 Garland-Collins’ Bhuidh Motholeli, another lovely bitch I have admired from the ringside, well constructed having all the essentials. Unfortunately not as settled as I have seen her before;

3 Hawkes’ Gallondean Bluemoon Magic at Maridale.

LB (2) A.

OB (6)

1 Macqueen’s Ch Azrakhan Capercaillie, loveliest of bitches, long, low & level, gorgeous head, correct eye & mouth, good earset, well made, moved soundly. CC & BOB;

2 Bryden’s Ch Acheo Bidey In, very close decision, similar remarks apply, just preferred height to length ratio of 1 but another lovely bitch. Beautifully presented, great head, bite & earset, good construction, great mover. RCC;

3 Barraclough’s Su Ch Skyeotts Amnesix High Sky Miracle at Wemoway.
