Puppy ( 1 entry/0 absent))

1st Jacksons Rhicullen Blue Knight. 10 month old boy with a pleasing head, filled up under the eye but no excessive muscle in the face. Correct triangular shaped eye. Coat of correct texture, guard hairs present.. Pleasing front with correct angulation giving the classic Bedlington front assembly, good shoulder construction. Rear angulation presenting with a good bed of stifle and well let down hocks which when put together with the pleasing front rewarded this boy with excellent movement.

2 lovely girls in this class but with differing qualities.

1st Lowe’s Mickleview After Midnight By Tessarion. 15 month female, she has a pleasing balanced head, not over muscled and all in proportion. Top Knot is the correct texture, silky to touch and not over profuse or over trimmed. Correct ear set and carriage, correct shape and colour of eye. Everything is in proportion with this youngster, correct rise over the loin. Unsettled when standing at times but I did not hold this against her, moved well.

2nd Ellis’s Fralex Culibre Jacquetta. 17 month old female and another lovely example of the breed. I judged her at 6.5 months and said she showed lots of promise, she has matured into a lovely bitch. Well groomed and presented to perfection. She has a lovely outline overall, everything is in proportion with no exaggeration. Coat of correct texture, soft and linty with guard hairs evident. She really is a stunning girl however her movement let her down today and she crabbed a little on the way back to me.

1st Baldwin’s Woolytop What’s It All About. 5 yr old female presented in excellent condition. She was groomed to perfection, presenting correct head shape which when examined confirmed that nothing was hidden and no exaggerations. Pleasing front of correct shape. Correct bend of stifle and hocks well let down, rear angulations correct and rewarding with lovely movement in all directions. Correct rise over the loin with no exaggeration. She made my decision hard for the reserve best of breed but she deserved it on her excellent movement on the day. (RBOB)

1st Offer’s Woolytop The Phezantplukka JW 22 month old dog.(BOB). A dog I have judged before and recall giving him a Terrier Puppy Group 1. A stunning classy male who is up to height but he is all in proportion. Well presented, correct head with good eye and ear set. Chest is deep and he has just enough rise over the loin with no exaggeration. Moved well. We suspected he had sensed a female in season and he was a little naughty on the table but settled well. Hocks are well let down, correct bend of stifle.

2nd Baldwin’s Ch Woolytop Leading Lady. My notes say ‘ liked her a lot’. A quality 6yr old female presented in excellent condition. Coat of correct texture, and groomed to a high standard. Correct shape head, no exaggerations. Correct eye colour and shape, ears of correct set and carried close to cheek. Furnishings not exaggerated. I liked her a lot and she pushed hard for the reserve BOB but she lost out to her younger sister but his may have been more to do with handling on the day.

Fox Terrier (Smooth)

Puppy (1 entry/ 0 absent)

1st Brookes’s Zetamaz Devil Made Me Do It. 6 month Dog with lots of character. Well put together with lots of promise. Correct straight movement for such a youngster, walking with plenty of drive. Chest developing nicely and showing correct proportions for front and rear quarters. Well presented. (Best Puppy in Breed)

Junior (1 entry/ 0 absent)

1st Brookes’s Zetamaz Candy Man. 6 month old dog, litter brother to the puppy class winner. Well what can I say about this young man, not as well schooled as his litter brother but showing lots of promise. Pleasing front when standing with the right amount of bone, correct and straight. Lovely ear presentation, carried correctly. He was really playful and I struggled to see him move to assess him correctly but I think this boy shows just as much promise as his litter brother and will give him a run for his money.

Herpleasing qualities include her well laid back shoulder, straight correct front and powerful rear quarters. She is in proportion that rewards great movement. (BOB)

2nd Hughes, Osbourne & McKenna Belfox XIMI (Imp Bel). 21 month old female, mature and of well developed appearance. Lovely head, correct neck and shoulders complimenting a good depth of chest Standing a little wide at times. Correct turn of stifle and hocks well let down. Pleasing ear carriage and moved very well. It was very close for these 2 girls and I can only have one winner. Reserve BOB.
