SOFT COATED WHEATEN BOSTON 09 Judge(s) Mrs Lynn Wassall BD LOOFAHSA TEENAGE DIRTBAG (MRS S P & MR N J BARRETT) Soft-coated Wheaten Terriers The overall standard of the dogs was good with some very promising youngsters. My only concern was with faulty mouths. I was surprised to see so many. PD (2) 1 Clarke’s Loofahsa Scaramouche, lovely pup, stood square & with good angulation, soft coat of good colour, correct dark pigment & eye, well bodied, held his level topline on the move. BP; 2 Salisbury’s Orliscwt Bobbin Along, moved well & with drive once he’d settled, but he has time on his side at just 6 months. JD (1) 1 Bott’s Whitevale Prince Of Thieves, masculine dog, excellent pigmentation, good scissor bite, put together very well, moved with drive maintaining his level topline. PGD (3,1a) 1 Lawrernce’s Snowmeadow Mumilous Niilo, super coat, good dark pigment & eye, stood square, good reach of neck. A little unsettled; 2 Lloyd’s Kazeen Bright Delight, coat of good colour. Not the reach of neck of 1, movement was a bit erratic. OD (3,1) 1 Barrett’s Loofahsa Teenage Dirtbag, dog I’ve liked from afar & didn’t disappoint me, lovely soft coat of correct texture & colour, good reach of neck & tailset, compact & balanced dog, moved well, not exaggerated in anyway, everything to like. BD; 2 Munn’s Ch Snowmeadow Jazzy Jacob, larger than 1, good pigment & eye, coat falls in soft waves, kept his level topline on the move. RBD. PB (3) 1 Smith’s Janey Jimjams Jasmina, well bodied pup, stood square, good reach of neck, moved OK; 2 Salisbury’s Orliscwt Goldilocks, very much a baby at just 6 months but her terrier perkiness caught my eye, her movement was one of the best; 3 Hammond & Evan’s Calvenace Toppa Totty. JB (3) Some difficult decisions as all the entries were of a high standard. 1 Howes’ Daisymaes Arrabella, quality lady, stood square, lovely outline, good pigment & eye, level topline, correct tailset & carriage, moved on her toes; 2 Tilley’s Starzak Solid Gold Ez Action, many of the attributes of 1 but not the coat colour. Moved freely & with drive, one to watch; 3 Bott’s Whitevale Sunshine Straw. PGB (3,1) 1 Barrett’s Denzilly Truly Scrumptious at Saffini, well bodied girl, coat of good colour & texture, nice head & neck, moved well; 2 Hammond & Evans’ Calvenace Boodles, smaller than 1 with lovely wavy coat, a lot to like about her but I couldn’t asses her movement because she was lame. OB (6,2) 1 Tilley’s Ch Snowmeadow Hetti Hopscotch at Starzak, beautiful girl with super soft coat, feminine expression, correct pigment & eye, level topline, good angulation, her movement was the best of the day & she showed her socks off. BOB & G4; 2 Munn’s Ch Snowmeadow Jellybean, quality bitch with everything going for her, similar in many ways to 1, although shorter coupled. RBB; 3 Dunhill-Hall’s Fantasa Blonde Isabelle.
