South Wales Kennel Association - 14 February 2026

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge, I thoroughly enjoyed my day.

Scottish Terrier

Puppy (2,1)

1st Kenbloom Inky 10 month old, rather unsettled on the move and was holding his tail down a bit on the move and when standing, good head, well slung between legs, nice level top line, longer in the back than I would like, harsh coat. BP and pleased to see he went on to take Puppy Group 1.

Junior (2.1)

1st Kenbloom Inky (repeat)

Graduate (4,3)

1st Celmareva Hakuna Matata 18 month brindle dog, nice masculine head, lovely movement throughout with a level top line, nice harsh coat which could benefit from being taken down a bit more on the jacket. The bite could be better, but this dog won on overall balance. 2nd Kenbloom Inky (repeat), this was a difficult choice between my 2nd and 3rd placings, but the puppy ultimately won as I preferred his head and he was in better condition. 3rd Chatterdale Unique Star at Brazenhill

Open Dog (3,2)

1st Divadell Who’s to Say to Skircoat 4 year old dog, another difficult decision but ultimately preferred the head of 1, level topline, good space between the legs, lovely movement, nice harsh coat but could do with better presentation. 2nd Divadell Mighty Quinn JW 2 year old black dog, another lovely mover, nice short back, good head, chest well slung and good space between legs, would prefer elbows more tucked in, excellent presentation in correct harsh coat.

Open Bitch (1,1)

1st Divadell Harleyquinn JW this 2 year old black bitch caught my eye as soon as she entered the ring, beautiful head, lovely short back, well down between the legs with a good handspace, presented in immaculate condition with good harsh coat, she flowed round the ring, Pleased to award her BOB and she ultimately took 2nd in the Group.
