SKYE JUDGE NATIONAL TERRIER 17

NATIONAL TERRIER 2017
SKYE TERRIERS

Thank you to the Society, the stewards and exhibitors. This was an appointment I had looked forward to and being inside the weather was not a concern I had to worry about. Prior to the show some had been busy predicting the winners, I don’t know whether they were right or not, but I came home with a clear conscience. At the end of the day you can only judge what is in front of you and on occasions you are disappointed as ones you like just don’t perform on the day.

The dogs were shown in good clean condition and I was pleased to see clean teeth and no soft ears. The hall was very noisy and also a number of dogs were not happy with the ring which in turn affected movement. This did have a bearing on some of my decisions.

1.. Huckle’s Silvaspangles Midas Touch. Not his usual handler but still a confident young man. Correct coat covering good proportions. Please head and expression. Would like to have seen darker points.

JD ((1)(0)
1 Woodhead’s Knowlespring Drummer Boy. Well presented in good condition. He is certainly long, low and level. Good front and good rib to loin ratio. He just needs time to mature.

PGD (1)(0)
1 Herbert’s Tweedsmuir Stargazer. Solidly made elegant young man and a delight to go over. Handled on a loose lead which allowed him to move naturally. Just needs to mature that little more.

LD (3)(0) Interesting class. Three different types and all had something to offer. 2 and 3 were just unfortunate to meet the winner.
1 Large’s Juger Edelweiss Mickey Mouse Is Madaza. Drop Ear who is still waiting to decide what colour he will eventually end up. Excellent head and ear placement, good dark eye. Good well proportioned construction. Strong well angulated rear. Pleased to award him Res CC.

2 Thomson’s Glorfindel Shadow Boxer SHCM. I’ve admired him since a youngster watched him develop. He is a frustrating dog who is correctly made, balanced and so typical of the breed. Unfortunately he is not a natural showman and this is where he tends to lose out. However, he is certainly worth persevering with and his day will come.

3 Bailey’s Talyot Nimrod by Marjayn. Lacking in coat today which made it easier to enjoy his construction.

OD (3)(0)
1 Curtis’ Ch Brakemill Barnum SHCM. As I have written before – he is a good cream who certainly stands out. Love his strong head and dark eyes. Strong well muscled body and has certainly fulfilled all his early potential. He moved out well and did all that was asked of him. Dog CC.

2 Marshall’s Emoticon Kiaora Glorfindel (Imp) Good head and expression. Lot of substance to him, to be picky would like a better front, but certainly not the worst today. His jacket has improved as he has aged and enhances his proportions. Level top line but not quite as long as winner.

3 Burscough’s Glorfindel Secret Shadow At Kilfinan SHCM. Well balanced, pleasing outline and so much to like. Unfortunately today was not his day.

PB (2)(0)
1 Robert’s Glorfindel Effort at Sunabil. Nice type cream with correct coat. Pleasing to go over and shows promise. Moved out well. Best Puppy.

2 Heath’s Perryland Hello Again. Not as settled on the move as winner. Nice outline, correct head and gentle dark eyes. Just needs time to mature.

JB (4)(0)
1 Barrass’ Gallondean Foreign Spirit. Top size but feminine. Correct head and dark eye. Good reach of neck. Good angulation but movement was not settled.

2 Woodhead’s Knowlespring Candy Cane. If only she had settled and definitely not happy with the noisy venue. Having said that she has the potential to go all the way. 3 ‘Ls’ covered by correct coat and her head has that certain ‘something’.

3 Robert’s Glorfindel Effort at Sunabil

PGB (4 )(1)
1 Zvezdina’s Juger Edelweiss Mary Poppins (Imp). Today she filled my eye. Top size but oh so feminine. She has glamour, poise and balance. Presented in first class condition. I was pleased to award her the CC. In the challenge she had that extra bit of ‘sparkle’ and deserved BOB.

2 Bryden’s Esgia's Sula Froya. On first glance she looks the part but unfortunately not the happiest on the table which was also reflected in her movement. She3 certainly let her handler down.

3 Downes’ Tweedsmuir Star Wonder Among Tsuki. Nice bitch who doesn’t always make the most of herself.

LB (3 )(1)
1 Burscough’s Glorfindel Shadow Wings At Kilfinan. Today she was unlucky to meet the ticket winner. She is so feminine, looks the part and is a delight to go over. Moved out well in total accord with her handler. I am sure her day will come. Res CC.

2 Marshall’s But Beautiful Of Morningsky. Liked her as youngster and still do. Sadly today she was certainly not happy with the noisy venue and ring which was reflected in her movement. When she relaxed she was well balanced and put down in excellent condition.

OB (2)(0)
1 Grainger’s Perrylands Georgia. Last judged her as a puppy. She has developed into a good honest example of the breed. I had hoped her ears would not remain as ‘tight’ but this was not to be. She moved out well and deserved her place today.

2 Barrass’ Ch Lavaux Spirit Of The Isle Of Gallondean SHCM. Pleasing type, very soundly made but tending to roach at times both standing and on the move. She certainly made her handler work in the ring.
