Isobel Taylor (Saffrosa)

I would first like to thank the committee for their invitation to judge alongside their hard work put into the show. My two stewards, Ian & Lisa, allowed the ring to run efficiently. Many thanks.

I was most pleased to receive such a lovely entry at an open show. Whilst the breed may be low numerically they are certainly not short of quality. Those working to preserve the breed here in the UK should be commended.

Australian Silky Terrier

Puppy (1,0)

1 - Pet Pursuit Zillion Dreams with Limartine (IMP FIN)

6 m/o dog who is most promising. Strong, masculine head with silver topknot coming through. Forelegs straight and sat well under body, forechest developing well. Neck is of good length and topline level, tail carried erect at all times. Hocks are well let down and stifles well bent. Coat is correct for age. He presents a lovely outline with just the right amount of substance. Looking forward to seeing how he matures. BPIB

Limit (1,0)

1 - Limartine Red Inferno

18 m/o dog with plenty to like. Strong head with flat skull, keen eyes of oval shape. Well developed forequarters with good lay of shoulder, elbows fitted to ribs. Longer than tall with crest to neck and level topline. Good bend of stifle in rear with hocks parallel. Finished with coat of correct colour and texture, tan is rich and roots dark. He is keen and on his toes, just as should be. Most impressive on the move. BOB

Open (1,0)

1 - Limartine Red Letter

4 y/o mature bitch in great coat. Head is strong yet feminine, ears V shaped and set high on. Upper arm well angled with shoulders laid well back, feet cat-like. Deep chest with ribs well sprung. Moderately low set with ideal proportions, level topline held at all times. Hindquarters well developed which allows her to power around the ring. Well balanced bitch - just preferred the spirit of the limit winner today.
