Skye Terrier

PGD (2,0)

1. Heale & Davies’ Rhoderns Arbika of Trelawneki. 21 mth old who is still to fully mature but was a comfortable winner in this class for me. He presented a very good outline with slightly crested neck of good length, he’s nice and firm through the topline, short in loin and tail pleased for both set and carriage. Masculine headpiece with excellent skull, expressive eyes of good colour, super ears for size and set, strength to muzzle and scissor bite. Well boned with pleasing angles front and rear and went so well on the go around, moving his width in front but just a fraction closer behind. Quality coat and very well presented. Reserve Best Dog.

2. Simpson’s Tiny Winne Argon Targaryen (Imp Swe). 18 mth old who carries good bone but he could have made more of himself in the ring. Muscular neck of pleasing length, ribbing carried well back but topline not quite that of winner. Powerful head with masculine expression; moderate breadth to skull, feathered ears of good set, nice dark eyes and strong muzzle. Front angles not quite as good as 1 and therefore on the go around he didn’t quite have the length of stride I was looking for.

1. Ryan’s Flanagan The Troublemaker at Feorlig (Imp Svk). 2 yr old drop-ear. Well presented lad who was good to go over. Muscular neck of good length, firm level back, ribbing extends well back, short loin and tail correct for set and carriage. Masculine head and expression with excellent skull, the very best of eyes, ears lying flat as desired, powerful muzzle and correct dentition with nice big teeth! Pleasing front assembly with good forechest and very good return of upper arm and firm muscular hindquarters. When gaiting, he went so well on the go around and moves freely when coming towards. Straight coat of excellent texture. Best Dog.

PB (1,0)

1. Ryan’s Feorlig No Good Deed. Most promising youngster of 7 mths. I thought her correct for type and outline and she was so good hands on. Slightly crested neck of good length to balance, firm level back, ribbing carried well back and developing well for age, nice short loin and tail of correct carriage. Super headed pup with moderate breadth to skull, ears set on just right, expressive eyes of good colour, strength to muzzle and scissor bite. She is well boned and has good angles front and rear and her forechest development pleased. When gaiting, she moved freely on the down and back and pleased on the go around too. Reserve Best Bitch and Best Puppy. Pleased to see she later topped the Puppy Group.

VB (1,0)

1. Curtis’ Ch Verumamicus Aurora of Brakemill JW OSW. 7 yr old who I have done well for previously. Today she still appealed and was presented here in super condition. Carrying good bone, she presents a lovely outline with a super neck, firm level back, correct ribbing which extends well back, short muscular loin and tail just right for set and carriage. Feminine headpiece yet retaining power and strength; moderate breadth to skull, expressive eyes of good colour and correct placement, good ears, strong muzzle and scissor bite. She has good angles both ends and pleased for forechest. On the move she goes well on the go around with drive from the rear and pleased on the down and back too. Good quality coat and well presented. Best Bitch, BOB and Best Veteran. Delighted to see she later took Veteran Group 2.
