Class A BABYPD 2/1

10 Bullmarina Limited Edition

Stunning all white boy at almost 5 months. The baby of the show,this little fella just has to grow. Flat topped bricked shaped skull with plenty of length, the darkest of pigment emphasised by his brilliant white pristine coat and dark round eyes, all topped off with neat rose ears, which he used when required. Straight ample bone to tight feet and pasterns. Great top line and rear angulation. Showed himself like a pro which gave his handler very little to do. Excellent confident mover and I hope a bright future.

9 month old – Brindle & white

Very mature heavy boned youngster. Large flat skull, dark open eyes, neat full nose roll placed well back from large open nostrils. Rose ears correctly placed. Arched powerful neck dropping to withers and rising to rear to give a good topline. Angulation on rear could be better but enough for a big boned dog. Moved well both ways, handled very well and showed very well for a young boy.

Great lay back , excellent length of neck. Straight bone to slightly turned out feet. Great side profile length in neck leading lovely into a gentle curved top line to a very healthy straight tail and well off for rear angulation. Moved ok when settled.

I noticed this dog in this very hall 7 months ago at his first show and he turned my head then. 13 months old, standard sized quality dog. Flat skull, with excellent rose ears and a very tidy split nose roll with the darkest of pigment to nose with open nostrils. The most magnificent jaw, wide with upsweep with good dentition. Perfect shoulders into straight boned legs , tight pasterns above. Well knit toes, well arched neck with his topline gently rising over his loins to a healthy tail, with an underline to match. Good rear angulation when stacked. Moved well, walking with his width and correct rear movement, keeping top line or the more. Immaculately presented, and very well handled.

Nice standard sized boy. Still a puppy, and could have done well if he had returned to ring and challenged for best puppy. Nicely balanced, all round, flat skull. Sour expression with length, wide jaw and good dentition. Dark pigment, great width of chest and great front shoulders. Well tacked on, made his handler work, but this young team is keen and it’s starting to come together.

W/R 9.5 Years old. Bitch

What a credit to the owner. Full of pizzazz. Although her face is drawing in this old girl, she still has it. Her super width of jaw gives off the sourest of expressions. Body condition and muscle tone could be mistaken for a girl half her age. Not hesitating to jump off the ramp, and strutting her stuff with absolute ease. Her coat was beautiful, a few light blemishes here and there but the glint in her eye gave her the class win. A pleasure to see.

2nd 9 MR J Dean

Hawksbulls Quinn at Bullmarina

7.5 years old. White male

Again, this dog is looking fantastic. A lot more substance than 1st and definatly still all male. Coat and muscle tone are very good, and in tip top condition. Movement on 1st better coming. Dark pigmentation and again, a youthful glint from the darkest clear round eyes, wide jaw, well placed rose ears held back when not in use. Wide chest with deep brisket. This boy knows his job and another from this owner that gives the handler an easy day’s work.

First thing this young lady hits you with is a super wide, tight fitting jaw., with open nostrils above, all encased in a dark pigment. Good dentition and upturn. Neat full nose roll, held well back from nose. A dark clear eye with deep furrow below a flat skull. Fine rose ears can at times appear to be held high when her attention is given excellent lay back. Well tacked on shoulder to straight bone in legs, with a broad chest and well dropped brisket. Well off for neck with a topline rising from withers ending in a loose straight tail.

A month difference between 1st and 2nd and at this age it’s a massive difference, although I did find them both to have similar attributes. Again, a wide jaw with good dentition. Flat skull with correctly placed rose ears. Dark pigment, clear eyes, a lighter nose roll than 1st held well back from open nostrils’ Excellent reach of neck into nicely curved top line. Tacked on shoulders to straight boned legs. Pasterns slightly let down. Another shown in excellent condition and handled her first show with a stand in handler very well indeed.

Rougebull Centre of Gravity

9 month old R/W

I Really like this girl when she’s firing on all four cylinders Today she made her handler work hard for everything she got. Although she stood like a rock she was very reluctant to open her eyes, almost asleep, but she did what she had to do. We gave her a couple of laps around the ring to see if she would burst into life A very all round balanced girl, shown in excellent condition, her coat being particularly nice. Flat top skull, rose ears placed correctly. Clean lines and a healthy nose roll with deep furrow, good length of skull and excellent dentition. Good barrel rib and well off for bone in front legs. Curved top line into straight free tail. Moved well once motivated, well handled working hard to get the best out of this young girl.

Full nose rope with the finest of wrinkle, open nostrils, tacked on shoulder, good depth to brisket and ample bone for her size keeping her balanced.
