I was delighted to see my Best Veteran go onto be placed 3rd in the Veteran finals of the day. SPECIAL BEGINNERS (2) 1 Whitelams’ Madaza Star a very nice type to this 2.5 year old bitch very feminine strong head with good length nicely veiled, correctly sized ears well set and fringed, nice dark eyes, good slight stop, strong jaw with correct dentition. Slightly crested neck into strong broad shoulders and a very firm level back to a strong rump and well set on tail. She has nice front and rear angulation, and her body is so well ribbed back into a strong short loin. Her fawn double coat texture was clean and in excellent condition and presentation, this gave her the advantage over the youngster whos coat is in the inbetween stage and hard to get correct. Short well boned legs were quite straight, strong quarters and hocks. Powerful stridewitha nice free powerful action. 2 Haighs’ Vindovaia Coat Of Colours. Lovely to see a young puppy male in the ring certainly has the long low and level requirement and as long a he develops and does not get walked too much should stay a lovely shape. Strong masculine head, good skull ears need to settle and firm and are too low set but this may alter as his head matures. Nice dark eyes with some puppy veiling. Strong long arched neck, broad shoulders a firm long back with good strength, nice rump well set, but carried high on the move, just needs training, Very nice body with substance and depth and oval ribs well carried back into a short loin and a strong rump and thigh. A soft dark grey going silver puppy double coat little too open but being trained with length coming from the parten. Strong short legs and tight feet, once he settled down showed an sound free movement. Vet (3) 1 Kendricks’ Ch Frisco Kiaora At Jeraro (Imp Cze), not far off 8 years old and how this dog has improved and become more masculine, not having seen him for some time and now having the opportunity to go over him it was a pleasure.

Best Veteran lovely to see him placed in the Veteran final quite an honour at a Terrier show. 2 Heaths’ Perrylands Hello Again same age as the winner and looking very smart of a good size and well presented in a beautiful conditioned double fawn coat of correct length. This bitch was so feminine with a strong well developed head of good length, correct ear shape and set with good fringes, liked her expressive eyes covered with a good veiling, nice stop separated her strong foreface and jaw. I would have liked a little more neck length, strong shoulders and good front development with depth to her chest, good boned legs and tight feet. Although a nice length of body she was a little shorter than the male, having a firm straight back and moulded rump with well set tail carried well both on stance and move. Strong quarters and hocks from which she moved off so free and soundly. 3 Parkers’ Tweedsmuir Feebee Mine ShCm MPD (2,1) 1 Heales’ Rhoderns Arbika Of Treiawneki a real baby, just 7 months but so well developed for his age, once matured should have a good show career. At his age he is well built and has the correct long low and level so as he develops properly should grow well. Nice strength to his head, good skull and well set ears although they do need to firm and settle. Dark expressive eyes, slight stop and good foreface and jaw with correct dentition. Good neck length shoulders, a firm level long back with nice rear quarters, tail set fine and carried ok. Lovely angulation to both ends of a good body with oval ribs well set back, having susbstance and depth needed at this age. Well presented double dark grey coat with enough length and in nice presentation, well boned short legs and correct feet, a stylish happy mover once under control into his stride could be seen to be sound with a nice action. BPD PD (2,1) 1 Haighs’ Vindovaia Coat of Colours PGD (3,1) 1 De Leies’ Vermamicus Cicero With Castrumskye very impressive male on the stack and very nice to go over on the table, he is certainly all dog and has the most stunning masculine head, has strength and correct balance, good back skull width with correctly set on and positioned ears with good fringes, slight stop to a strong foreface with correct dentition. Long slightly arched neck to strong broad shoulders and broad level back of good length, muscular rump and well set and carried tail. I would like a little better front angulation, holds elbows in on strongly made and boned legs that are fairly straight with tight feet. Deep body with good weight, well ribbed with oval ribs well back into a short loin, very well presented in a straight light fawn jacket with lovely length and of a harsh texture. Good return of stifle and strong hocks. Moved soundly just lacks drive at times, but when moved faster by his owner handler does pick up a good stride and has a sound action. 2 Herberts’ Riskerytree Ravenwing. Just heading for 2 years old and holds a nice outline being long low and level to be critical I would like him to be a little more masculine but with time should come. Overall shape to his head but needs more strength and length, ears are set well could be bigger and better coated. Lovely dark eye shape with alert look. Correct dentition. Good neck length shoulders and firm back with enough length, well developed rump and well set and carried tail. A good body but needing more depth and substance, nice oval ribs well back into a short loin. A very well presented black harsh textured double coat in nice condition, being straight of good length. Well shaped legs with enough bone, tight round forefeet moved out really well, sound both ends. LD (2,1) 1 Lynes’ Madaza Box Of Frogs A nearly 3 year old stunning male, today he had that lovely outline of being very long of the correct height so low and holding his topline firm. Masculine head of strength with strong back skull, this boy has large droppd ears with plenty of fringes lying flat a side of his head. Lovely dark eyes with nice vieling over, slight stop, nice tapering to a powerful foreface and jaw with correct teeth. Good neck length into broad shoulders being so well built with a lot of length, has a very long back which does make his topline look slightly uneven at times. Great body substance. His front could be deeper at his chest but is nicely angulated, his ribs are oval and well back into a strong short loin. Strong rump well muscled, good return of stifle and let down hocks. So well presented in a beautiful straight double cream coat of lovely length and texture. So well handled to get the best from him, moved at a good pace and showed a sound action with drive and reach. Pleased to award him DCC and BOB. OD (5,1) 1 Heaths’ Ch Lavaux’s Bahamian Chris I see this 4 year old is the son of my Veteran winner, very smart dog on the stance and nice to go over, good strength correct shape to his head, well set and used ears well fringed, dark elert expressive eyes under good vieling. Nice taper to his strong foreface and jaw with correct dentition. Holds neck on a strong slightly crested neck into his laid back shoulders, of good length to his firm back to a well shaped rump and well set and held tail. Would like a better front angulation, short strong legs of good bone could be slightly straighter. Good depth of body with nice weight and ribs well shaped back into his short loin. Very well presented in a harsh double straight silver grey coat of good length. Muscular hindquarters with good return of stifle and straight hocks, Very free sound mover but I would like more power and drive in his action. RCC 2 Baileys’ Rhoderns Haggis At Marjayn This is one strong, stunning dog that is long and low and certainly should carry his title. I did feel he could have been my winner, but he let me down today and unfortunatey stood with a noticeable dip in his topline although this disappeared on the move. Lovely masculine head so correctly shaped and so well coated and veiled. Loved his dark blsck well fringed ears set and used, and expressive dark round eyes, slight stop to strong tapered foreface, strong jaw all well furnished. Muscular long crested neck into well laid back shoulders and a very long back to strong hindquarters with well set tail carried correctly. Lovely depth to his angulated front and chest, well ribbed back with deep oval ribs into a short loin.

His rear quarters are toned with good return of stifle and let down hocks and tight feet. Has well boned short legs fairly straight and tight feet. Has a lovely stride but does not move out with drive and I believe this is due to his handler not having the strength to move him faster. 3 Shuttleworths’ Whicheeta Walk The Walk MPB (2,1) 1 Baileys’ Rhoderns Ailsa Bay Avec Marjayn, just a baby 7 months old and looked quite confident on the move although just needs to settle but had a nice sound action with nice reach and drive.

Of good length but I would have liked her back to have been a little more level as she stood and moved uneven. At 17 months she is still developing and maturing, her head needs to strengthen, with more width to her back skull, well set and carried ears with some fringing. Sweet expressive eyes with vieling over, slight stop, more strength to her foreface just a little narrow at present. Lovely length to her crested neck to good shoulders, enough angulation front to short legs with enough bone. Good oval ribs well back to her short loin. Beautiful presentation to her straight cream coat which is just changing colour and into her adult coat as the texture is becoming harder, at present has a lot of shine to her retained puppy coat.

She has done a lot of winning and brought the breed to the fore. In my opinion there is just too much of her for me. She has the most powerful well shaped head but my opinion I would like a little more refinement for a bitch.

She has a small worked head, lacking in back skull, small ears needing to settle and not sitting well with some fringing, but she does use them. Dark alert eyes under veiling. Slight stop narrow foreface and jaw. Good neck length to well set shoulders, into her back of good length, well set on tail. Body has enough angulation front and rear but she needs more substance and weight, she has oval ribs set well back into her short loin. Well presented and coated in a straight solid black jacket of nice texture and length. Would like more stenght of bone in her short legs, she moves out soundly from both ends but has not power drive.
