SKYE JUDGE PAIGNTON 10

Skye Terriers

I found the quality of the dogs & bitches were of a high standard & as I had not judged the breed for some time this was very pleasing but also made my choices harder. On the plus side all exhibits were well presented & I was pleased to see that the younger exhibits were very promising thus securing the future off the breed. The minus side was that I felt 3 or 4 dogs were a little jaded & have seen them go better. Perhaps a long season of shows was the reason.

JD (2)

1 Richardson’s Talyot Learchus, well presented masculine dog with balanced head, strong scissor bite, strong fill under eyes, bright dark eyes, used his ears well, good sloping falling into well placed shoulders, balanced rib to loin ratio, good depth of chest, level topline, used muscular rear to drive around the ring;

2 Shuttleworth’s Whicheeta Celtic Keepsake, this was his very first show but is full of promise, good masculine head with dark eyes, strong scissor bite, well placed earset, strength in jaw, nice reach of neck, level topline, good rib to loin, well muscled, had to give way to the ring presence of 1.

PGD (0).

1 Samuel’s Skyelander Wee Man of Storr, have watched this drop eared dog since a youngster, found him so masculine with correct ear carriage, domed shaped head, dark eyes, strong jaw with scissor bite, slopping neck into laid back shoulders, good depth of chest, balanced rib to loin ratio, muscular rear giving drive, in great coat, took the ring demanding his place.
