Junior Dog (1)

1. Rattustrap Crimes at Night

One year old dog of very pleasing size and proportions, elegant, still masculine. Very pleasing head with excellent length and very good ears. Delightful temperament. Good rise of neck. Moderate angulation in front and behind. Could do with some more arch over his loin. Quite well set tail. Brilliant colour and excellent thumb marks and pencil marks. He moved well from behind, somewhat wide in front and could extend more from the side, but kept his balance well and was well synchronized. Res Best Male.

Post Graduate Dog (1)

1. Rattustrap Beer Humbug

Strong and masculine dog, still elegant. He has a strong masculine head, quite pleasing ears. Could do with some less lips. Deep cheset, curvy underline, I would prefer some more arch over loin. Well set tail. Moderately angulated both ends. Would prefer less width in front. Very good coat and colour, including thumb marks and pencil marks. Moved well from behind, wide in front and could extend more behind.

Open Dog (3)

1. Ch. Talanors Time For Fun

A really good representative of his breed and sex. Masculine and strong, but his overall picture is still very elegant and shapely. Well shaped, chiselled head. Ears are pleasing most of the time, but one of them can go off. Excellent terrierlike expression. Good neck. Moderate, but balanced angulation both ends. He has a slight arch over the loin and a very attractive underline. Retained his balanced on the move and moved soundly coming and going. Excellent coat and colour, including pencil and thumb marks. One from the top drawer. Best Male and BOB.

2. Wystry Dempsey’s Tipple JW

Smaller dog, not as masculine, within the standard, but not up to the winner. Elegant in head, excellent expression, very good ears. Deep chest. Some shape to his topline. Could do with more angulation behind. Moved OK, but proud of his tail. Very good coat and colour, including thumb marks and pencil marks.

Open Bitch (2)

1. Ch. Kentwone Lyra at Janmark

Elegant bitch, very feminine and of overall quality. Enough length of leg. Very attractive head with excellent expression from her dark eyes. Her arrogant attitude impressed. Pleasing neck, well set. Deep chest. She has a definite arch over the loin, making for an attractive curvy outline. She stacked higher behind than in the front, but evened out in movement. Enough angulation behind. Excellent coat with good pencil and thumb marks. She is a particularly sound mover from all angles. Best Bitch and BOS

2. Ch. Digelsa Dark Indulgence at Wystry JW

Taller bitch, still elegant and feminine. Attractive head with excellent ears and expression. Long neck. Quite good front angulation. She has some arch to her topline. Could do with more angulation of stifle and hock, still moved out quite well from the side. Excellent coat and colour, but her thumb marks could be more prominent. Res Best Bitch
