LB (2) 1 Whinncup’s Bunnybois Inspiration, pleasing cream bitch. Lovely head & expression with beautiful black ears. She was very well presented & in good coat. Nice neck & shoulders, good chest room, OK front but feet turn out & good rear. This girl held her topline well both standing & on the move. She is glamorous & demands attention.

She is a glamorous & feminine cream bitch in good coat. She has a lovely head & expression with beautiful black ear fringing. She has a lovely neck which she used to her advantage. Good shoulders & front with enough chest room. She has a good rib to loin ratio & holds her topline well. Ideally she could be a little longer but she is long enough. She was beautifully presented & moved around the ring well; 2 Curtis’ Ch Brakemill Briar Rose, grey bitch in good coat. She has a good length to her & held her topline well. She has a fair neck & front OK. Today she seemed very tense & did not show herself as well as she could. VB (1) 1 Macqueen’s Ch Azrakhan Capercallie, this 9 years girl really frustrates me! I have judged her twice now & often admired her from the ringside. She is a very well made girl in beautiful coat. But, again, today she just did not want to give her best. She went through the motions but gave her handler nothing other than the bare minimum. SUE BREEZE Go To Top Of Page

Skye Terriers

Thank you for the entry. I am pleased to say that temperaments on all of the exhibits was good. Mouths were also good. There was a lack of muscletone in some exhibits which in turn will have an effect on movement & toplines. In my opinion fronts in particular need watching, I appreciate that a Skye’s front is not straight like a WFT but it shouldn’t be twisted & out at elbow. The rear end action on some exhibits is not good. Skyes should show their pads when moving with the pads coming up true & not twisting out to the sides. Also the slight skip on some exhibits is incorrect & could be indicative of a problem. I do find however that Skye’s in general are not happy inside on those concrete floors & show much better outside on the grass.
