Cesky Terrier

L (1): 1 RBOB Bishop’s Ulmo Bohemia Des Hauteurs De La Sole at Kyntilly (Imp), grey dog of 2 years, mature boy, clean strong neck, good body proportions, correct topline, good bend of stifle with muscular thighs, moved with propulsion.

O (3, 1a): 1 BOB Fewings’ Komidion Rhapsody In Ryme, grey bitch coming up 6 years, a little shy on the move but thought she was better made through the front than 2. Good body proportions, correct topline, good bone but feminine with it, she moved well but just not as confident as 2 Fewings’ Komidion Schubert, grey dog of nearly 4 years, confident mover, strong neck into shoulders, correct body length, well-muscled quarters with correct bend of stifle.

Jack Russell Terrier

Delighted to award him G2 & PG2; 2 Rushforth’s Adoraden Jack Of Diamonds, bitch of 8 months, brisket down to elbow, nice front assembly, correct body ratios. She could be better through the rear pasterns which was evident on the move.
