My main concern is front movement and its construction, I found quite a few were upright in shoulder and therefore lacked the reach required. Pigmentation was good in all exhibits & presentation was in most very good. PD (1) 1 Burns Bellevue Deal Breaker For Burneze. I liked this smart youngster, he has a masculine outlook. Nice head shape, good dark eye and good sized teeth. Well placed ears, lovely reach of neck blending into a level back. Straight front, needs to tighten in movement, good depth of body. Well made hindquarters with a correct tailset. Moves with drive. In a quality coat that was well prepared, showing well, he was my BP. Happy to hear he took PG4. JD (1) 1 Thompson's Ashgate Falkirk. Nice for size & overall balance. Good head, nicely filled muzzle, good stop & well placed ears. Good reach of neck, good front. Nicely ribbed & short in back. Strong in hindquarters, with a correct tailset. Coat of good texture, could have been trimmed better. Smart mover. PGD (2,1) 1 Thompson's Ashgate Falkirk LD (1) Fox's Hillsted Same Direction. Nice sized boy, good in head with the desired dark eye. Straight in front, good length of neck with a level back. Mature in body, well made hindquarters with a good tailset. I liked his balanced shape. Not too keen on the table, but on the floor he is a different dog, good mover both ways. OD (2) 1 Burns Burneze Let's Be Frank. Came saw and conquered. Upstanding young male. Takes your eye, I liked his overall shape and balanced outline. He has a very pleasing head, well defined stop with dark eyes, nicely placed ears. Straight in front, good depth of body. Excellent reach of neck that runs into his short level back & with a correct tailset. Well made hindquarters which gives him plenty of drive. Showing well & top class presentation. CC & BOB, pleased to hear this was his 3rd CC, he then went on to win the Terrier Group. (His second one) 2 Britten's Bellevue Lucky Devil At Krisma. A nice looking boy, slightly smaller than 1. Nice head, dark well placed eyes, good ear placement & defined stop. Good neck with a level back. Deep in body with the desired ribbing, correct tailset. In shorter coat than 1, preferred the front of 1. Showed steadily. RCC. VD (1) 1 Gale's Bellevue Street Trader. 7 years, nice honest type of male. Really has a nice head type, correct ear placement, well defined stop. Mature in body, correct tailset. He had pleasing movement both ways. In a quality coat & showed steadily.

Nicely made mature body, correct tailset with good hindquarters, good mover both ways. In nice condition with a good quality coat. Showing well. BV MPB (1) 1 Gale's Shaunteves Snapshot. Just 6 months & very much a baby, saying that I was impressed with the way she behaved. Good head for her age, plenty of time for it to develop, good reach of neck & straight front. Good body, correct tailset. In nice coat & went well for a baby. PB (1) 1 Burns Burneze All On My Todd. What a lovely puppy, she has very good breed type. I liked her keen expressive head, good in neck & shoulders. Level back with correct tailset. Good in body, she has a very nice turn of stifle. In a quality harsh coat, lively mover & showed well. In the challenge I was drawn to her balanced outline, RCC. LB (2) 1 Gale's Bellevue Jump For Joy At Bocans. She has a nicely balanced shape. Nice feminine head & expression.

Good in front, mature in body with well made hindquarters. One of the best movers of the day. Carrying a good quality well prepared coat, nice showgirl.

Excellent head & expression, mature body & correct tailset. Well made hindquarters which she uses well, would have liked a more positive front action. In super coat & presentation as were all the dogs from this exhibitor. David Winsley Go To Top Of Page
