National Ch show 2026- BEDLINGTON TERRIER

I’m pleased to say I found no cracked or corny pads in today’s entry. 

SBD (4)

1. Jackson & Jackson’s Rhicullen Blue Knight. A blue youngster who earned his place in this class for his shapely outline and overall breed type, there’s nothing exaggerated about him. Liked his well shaped head, clearly masculine with low set ears, lovely dark eyes and good pigmentation. Reachy neck with a typical horseshoe front, a good depth of brisket for his age, nice arch over the loin with a corresponding underline. Sporting a well presented linty jacket. On the move he had a light mincing action whilst retaining his top line as he went around. 

2. Scott’s Amifedele Hashtag Hipster. Another nice lad, just preferring the winner’s tail carriage on the move. Good length of head with a tapering jaw and without stop, lovely dark eyes with a bright expression. Typical horseshoe front, ample neck with flat ribbing with natural rise over his loin with good underline, moderately angulated fore and aft. Moved out with a true and light springy gait and he was presented in good order. 

3. Noble’s Buttons Indus Valley

MPD (1)

1. Butler’s Mickleview Fly High At Yarbach. 8 months old, this blue lad has a pleasing profile, with a good length of neck which fits smoothly into his front assembly, he was standing a touch straight in front rather than horseshoe shaped, flat ribs and a gentle rise over his loin with correct tuck up. Lovely head with good width to skull and a tapering foreface. Excellent dentition with dark expressive eyes and low set flat ears. Shown in good jacket for his age. Scored well on the move , displaying a springy action whilst holding his top line and tail carriage. BPD. 

PD (1) 

1. Butler’s Mickleview Fly High At Yarbach. See MPD notes. 

PGD (3) 

1. Poultney’s Ratzwell Bring Me Sunshine. Slightly bigger built lad, well presented and quite shapely in profile. He moved out soundly and steadily covering the ground well with a typical gait whilst retaining his outline, which gave him the edge on this class. Lovely headpiece with deep skull, very little stop, dark triangular eyes, flat ears lying close to his cheeks, and strong jaws. Decent length of neck fitting nicely into his front assembly, typical horseshoe front. Natural curve over the loins, moderate angulations finishing in a low set on and carried tail.

2. Noble’s Buttons Indus Valley. He has a decent head with skull of a good length, to his tapered muzzle, well set and hung ears and dark expressive eyes. Long neck into sloping shoulders with the correct arched backline and corresponding underline, he was just inclined to carry his tail a little too high on the move. Well presented, he could carry a little more body and substance to advantage. 

3. Blakey’s Little Bristle Charmer Belabrisl. 

LD (5) 

1. Jackson & Jackson’s Rhicullen Blue Knight. Blue. Repeat see SBD class, scored here for his shapely outline and typical gait.

2. Nind & Nind’s Devleigh True Blue. Masculine lad with a pleasing head, small eyes giving the impression of being deep set, his low set ears were held close to his cheeks, he has very good dentition with big strong teeth and very good pigmentation. Ample neck, good depth of brisket, flattish ribs and moderate angulations fore and aft all topped off with a well presented jacket. Steady and sound on the move, today, he wasn’t holding his top line on the stack or move quite as well as the winner. 

3. Scott & Scott’s Mickleview Harvest Moon.

OD (4) A competitive class with little to separate these lovely boys

1. Offer’s Ch Woolytop The Phezantplukka JW. This immaculately presented lad is certainly an eye catcher, just had something about him that kept drawing me back to him. I liked his proportions, and curvy out line, displaying strength and masculinity without any exaggerations. Nicely balanced head, rounded skull, indistinguishable stop, tapering foreface and dark expressive eyes. His neck flows into a clean front assembly, ribbing is well let down and is flat and his top line has a gentle rise with corresponding under line and with a low set tapering tail. Scoring highly on the move with his light spring and very typical mincing movement. Pleased to award him the CC.

2. Mcnally & Mcnally’s Ch Conekesheved Out Of The Blue JW. Another top quality male, presented in A1 coat and condition, he too has great ring presence. Lovely head, balanced, flat thin well placed ears, dark expressive triangular eyes, with strength to his foreface with correct dentition . His reachy neck flows well into his front assembly with typical horseshoe front, with flat ribbing which is well let down. Top line has a gentle rise and tuck up with a tapering tail. On the move, he was sound out and back and had a lovely light springy and very typical mincing gait. RDCC.

3. Fletcher & Fletcher’s Sharnor Sultan Of Spica JW.

SBB (3) 

1. Scott’s Silverkinn Time For Tea Rose. This girl caught my eye for her lovely elegant outline and she also scored well on the move with her light springy action and accurate footfall out and back. Very feminine in outlook, good length to her head, dark expressive eyes, thin well placed ears. Reachy neck into decent front assembly with horseshoe front, natural curve over the loins, moderate angulations finishing in a low set on and carried tail. Presented in super coat.

2. Lowe & Lowe’s Mickleview After Midnight By Tessarion. Similar size to winner and she was also presented in very good order. Pleasing feminine head which has good length, dark expressive triangular eyes with well placed thin ears. Her neck flows into a clean front assembly, just standing a little straight in front rather than horse shoe shaped. Her ribbing is flat, body outline has nice balance with gentle rise over loin with correct tuck up. Good profile movement, just a fraction close going away. 

3. Jackson & Jackson’s Terrablue Spirit Bizzibeddies.

MPB (2)

1. Fletcher’s Maevani Huntress Of Spica. Two promising pups both blue, I just preferred the outline of this girl and felt that today, she had a slightly better neck and head carriage on the move. Her head is lovely, very feminine without losing strength, narrow, deep with enough length to her foreface, she has dark eyes with a bright expression and thin flat low set ears. Ample neck, correct horseshoe front, quite a deep brisket with flat ribs, and she has a natural arch over the loin with a corresponding under line. Moderately angulated throughout. Liked her profile movement light and springy, just needing to tighten up a little on the out and back as you expect at this early age. Presented in super order and what a little show girl she is already, a real eye catcher. Delighted to award her BPB and BPIB. 

2. Scott & Scott’s Mickleview Lay Down Sally. Slighter older girl and lots to admire about her, she too has a delightfully feminine head, very dark eyes, good length and strength to her foreface, no stop and very dark eyes and pigmentation. Quite a long neck and needing time to fill her frame a little bit more and drop in brisket so didn’t quite have a flowing outline as yet. Natural curve over her loins and moderately angulated fore and aft. She has very nice light and springy profile action and like the winner just needs to tighten up a little in front and rear movement. Shown in lovely coat and condition. 

PGB (5.1abs) 

1. Hart & Hart’a Silverkinn Spice Girl JW. This young lady caught my eye as soon as she came into the ring, immaculately presented, elegant and shapely without being overdone in any way, and pleasing for balance and type. Long feminine head, with no stop, eye colour and pigmentation to match her liver coat. Very good neck and shoulders, typical horse shoe front, natural curve over her loins and corresponding under line. Moderately angulated fore and aft, finishing with a low set tapering tail. Super light and springy movement.

2. Martin’s Honeymist Tilted Halo. Similar in type to winner and also beautifully turned out. Liked her shapely well balanced outline. Feminine head with length, good fill under the eye and minimal stop. Dark triangular eyes, her ears held close to her cheeks. Ample neck which flow nicely into correct shoulders. Typical horseshoe front and well let down brisket. Nice flow of top line with natural arch of the loin and corresponding tuck up. Good mover with light spring gait. 

3. Long’s Dunkeswell Pepper Dash.

LB (5,1abs) 

1. Baldwin & Baldwin’s Woolytop What's It All About. Smart girl, feminine and curvy giving a pleasing outline which she holds both standing and on the move. Feminine head, well shaped eyes, colour to match her coat, her ears are thin and low set framing her face. Clean neck of good length, with her brisket down the elbow, flattish ribs and gentle curve over the loin with matching underline and low set tapering tail. Moderately angulated fore and aft. Moving out well with the light mincing action. Beautifully turned out.

2. Godden’s Woolytop Sign Of The Times At Vakurblue. Another pleasing girl and close up to the winner, slightly bigger mould but all in proportion and well balanced with a curvy outline. Feminine head, good eye shape with a kind expression. Long neck, clean and elegant, enough depth of chest and brisket is well let down. Just standing a little untidily at the front on the stack. Her ribcage has the desired flat ribs and her top line shows a nice rise over the loin, with a good underline. Moderate angulation in the hindquarters. Moved out well in all directions, and presented with a good linty jacket.

3. Porter-Manning & Porter’s Woolytop Secret Wispa Among Wallaroo JW

OB (4) A competitive class

1. Mcnally, & Mcnally’s Ch Conekesheved Too Shy JW. An eye catching and stylish girl who was immaculately presented and conditioned. Her handler getting the best out her to show off her many virtues. Loved her flowing graceful lines, she’s so balanced and all in proportion. Feminine head, pear shaped with good length of foreface, well shaped dark eyes, and thin low set ears all set off with her profuse silky top knot. Her neck flows nicely into a clean front assembly, typical horse shoe front, she has a deep brisket with flat ribs, and shows a graceful arch over the loin with a corresponding tuck up finishing with a low set tapering tail. She scored highly on the move with her light springy and very typical mincing movement, sound out and back too and she has the best of side gaits. No hesitation in awarding her the BCC and BOB. 

2. Hanes’ Ch Janmark The Name Of The Game Jw. Another very beautiful girl, with her flowing, graceful lines and first class presentation. Her feminine head is nicely balanced with dark, well-shaped eyes giving a keen expression, and low set, thin, velvety ears . I liked her clean neck of good length which flows nicely into her front assembly with the correct horse shoe front, good depth to the brisket, and the right amount of spring to her ribcage. She holds her top line both standing and, on the move, with a natural rise over her loins to a well set on and carried tail. She has a lovely side gait that is light and springy, just couldn’t quite match the purposefulness of the winner today. Happy to award her the RBCC.
