WEST HIGHLAND WHITE JUDGE MIDLAND COUNTIES 12

West Highland White Terriers

A breed I always enjoy judging. One of the unspoilt breeds in that they have changed little over the years. Overall quality as always remains high, a number of dogs of the highest merit. My main criticism would be regarding size. Part of the charm of this breed is in its size & I did feel few were over the top.

MPD (4)

1 Smith’s Lizandycris Call My Bluff at Roxberg, smart, sound, grand stamp, has time to firm in front action. BP;

2 Thomson’s Ashgate Gleouraich, giving away with age. As one expects from this kennel, lovely quality, good eye & pigment, can finish well;

3 Squires’ Kimgarwyn Defender.

PD (2)

1 McLoughlin’s Ley Hey Latest Legend, good jacket. Tailset a little low. Needs time;

2 Strand’s Crinan Code Name, coat has time to harshen & topline firm.

JD (4)

1 RCC, Jennings’ Comdale Johnny Boy, strong quarters, moving out well, coat has time to harshen;

2 Purchon’s Lindenka Donovan, can turn the tables, excellent coat. Not quite so collected on the move;

3 Hayton’s Pedrohay Roberto.

PGD (6)

1 Jenkinson’s Highcross Willie Be Charmed, smart dog, excellent coat, moving & showing well. Colour could be clearer but a good pattern of the breed;

2 Molony’s Killynether Kolumbo, loved his size, neat dog of lovely quality & temperament. Could have been more positive on the move;

3 Stock’s Lindenka Baxter.

LD (5)

1 Noyce’s Maxula Name Of The Game, much to recommend, excellent make, shape & coat;

2 Taylor’s Flassendale Fairlie, standing appeals for type & quality. Could be firmer in front;

3 Millen’s Sarmac Starlite Express.

OD (6)

1 CC, Britten’s Ch Walk The Line vom Deipen Brook to Krisma, great Westie, smart, short backed with excellent coat, soundest of movers coming & going, has a glittering career. Just lost to the BOB as he became a little disinterested when the chips were down. I was reminded afterwards that I gave him his first RCC as a youngster;

2 Jenkins’ Ir Ch Havasu Hugo Boss, unlucky to meet 1. A classy dog of the highest order, pleasing size, could gain his UK title;

3 Dale’s Something Special Superbia Lynnsto.

MPB (8)

1 Clements’ The Dashing Devils Precious Star, high class, has the look, strong quarters, good coat;

2 Jennings’ Comdale Charlie Girl, good mover, short back, excellent coat, lovely puppies;

3 Dale’s Lynnsto Crystal Kiss.

PB (6)

1 Lancaster’s Clanestar Cloud Chaser, all quality, smart;

2 Lewis’ Bellevue Daydream at Leodhas, same excellent type, short back, excellent coat, can turn the tables;

3 Mealing’s Reifrandies Muirne.

JB (10)

1 RCC, Dale’s Lynnsto Eye Candy, smart, pleasing size;

2 Squire’s Kimgarwyn Orchid, close up, excellent quality, short back, good jacket, this breed has some really classy youngsters about;

3 Hooper’s Yorsar Betsy Ross.

PGB (4)

1 Stock’s Lindenka Apple Charlotte, good honest type, excellent coat. Overweight for the showring.

LB (11)

1 Smith’s Lingbeck Playing The Lady, high class, cobby & so sound on the move;

2 Burns’ Burneze Plan Bea, another out the top drawer, up to size but lovely pattern;

3 Cooper’s Brorastar Words Of Love.

OB (8)

1 CC & BOB, Steemson’s Bocans Hot Stuff, fills the eye with her great quality type & soundness, first class harsh jacket, short back, like the DCC she is a top show dog, I was spoilt for choice for BOB, on the final go-round she was so collected & won by a whisker. G4 in the strong terrier group;

2 Griffiths’ Ch Karamynd Drama Queen;

3 Cooper’s Brorastar Ain’t She Sweet.
