Belfast Dog Show Society

I would like to thank the secretary and committee of Belfast Dog Show Society for giving me the opportunity to award my first set of CC’s here at home. To all the exhibitors who travelled to Belfast, thank you, I appreciated your time and effort given to make the trip.

Although number of exhibits on the ground were few, they represented depth of quality in the breed. Pleased to report that I encountered no health issue in any of the exhibits ie skin or misplaced canine teeth. Overall, teeth are bigger than when I last judged.

Junior Dog (1)

Breun Miss Cathy

1st Zackshine Sinner In Silk: Just nine months old and still very much a puppy. Well portioned head with broad skull, deep stop, dark eye and a nice ear placement. Good size of teeth with strong jaw. Adequate reach of neck running into clean shoulders, could have a slightly better layback. Good bone, toeing out slightly but this may be just an age-related issue. Well, ribbed with strong rear and nice tail set. He just did not settle on the move, a wilful boy, I am sure his time will come. Best puppy dog

Open dog (2 : 1)

Zaccariello Mr F

1st It Ch Zackshine High Technology: standing alone but what a masculine male nothing over done. Strong broad skull but not course in any way with good stop, fill beneath eyes, strong broad jaw, large teeth, dark piercing eyes, picture completed with neat ears and gentle flowing arched neck, clean well laid shoulder. Presented in excellent coat and condition. This boy has great bone, well ribbed and short coupled. Strong level topline with excellent tail set and plenty behind the tail. Muscular hindquarters that propelled him round the ring with such free movement. A very nicely balanced male. DCC and BOB. Delighted to watch him take 2nd place in the terrier group

Miss C Crozier

2nd Dalskairth Glamis Girl: I have watched this girl and was not disappointed going over her. Pleasing head and expression and used her ear well on alert.

 Mrs P Chambers

3rd Circinus Dreaming All Day: this girl doesn’t disappoint with what is under the coat everything is there. Just be careful when trimming head that you don’t lose the varmity expression creating a rabbit in the head light expression.

Miss C Breun

4th IrCh Zackshine Glenrosa: Smaller finer in type than the other three, good head with strength for her stature. Nice shoulder level topline and tailset. Dog and handler could move with a little more purpose.
