I would also like to thank all of the terrier exhibitors for entering and bringing your dogs notwithstanding being a very hot day.

Border Terrier

Puppy (2 entries, 0 abs)

1st 533 Lings’ Bigginpeak Asbradelei (BP)

This 8-month-old puppy bitch has a worthy structure and good maturity for her age. She has a neat, feminine head and a lovely reach of neck onto well-laid shoulders. She also has a correct return of upper arm. She is spannable and short coupled. Her hocks are well let down onto straight back pasterns and the neatest of feet. Given her structure she moved very well and I was satisfied to see her as Best Puppy.

2nd 528 Hall’s Borderrush Bog Bean

This 7-month-old puppy needs more body and maturity but she has quite a good outline and moved well. She is currently very raw but when she matures I am sure she will be a winner.

Junior (2 entries, 0 abs)

1st 527 Hall’s Borderrush Riscal Rioja

This bitch has a moderately broad skull with short strong muzzle and attractive dark eyes. Her forelegs are straight and well boned; not overdone. She has good quarters and was shown in very good coat. Moving, she moved very well across the ring carrying her tail well.

2nd 535 Tomlinson’s Fairhambrook King Soloman

This male has a masculine head with dark eyes, dark pigmentation and a correctly short balanced foreface. He has quite a good reach of neck into well laid shoulders. His front legs are straight onto very neat well arched feet. He has spannable correct ribs and a strong loin. He also has good quarters and moved correctly.

Post Graduate (4 entries, 2 abs)

1st 529 Heathcote’s Wadesleia Lady Madonna Saxheath VW

A 10-year-old bitch with grey fur round the muzzle. She has good pigmentation and lovely dark eyes. She has a good reach of neck into well laid shoulders and a good top-line and excellent stifles with well let down hocks. She was also my 3rd place winner in the veteran class.

2nd 526 Hall’s Ravenside Ramona At Borderrush

Unfortunately, this exhibit was not co-operating well with her handler today, nevertheless she has good bone and very neat feet. I would prefer her to have a better bend of stifle, but she moved correctly.

Open (4 entries, 2 abs)

1st 525 Hall’s Borderrush Rambutan JW

This bitch was very impressive with pleasing expressive dark eyes and a feminine head onto a good reach of neck into a very good lay of shoulder. She also has a good return of upper arm and an excellent level top-line. Shown in good harsh coat. She stands with four balanced well boned legs and has accurate stifles. Her movement was impressive so I was pleased to award her Best of Breed.

2nd 530 Heathcote’s Fevstone Polar Ajax At Saxheath

This male was also very attractive. He has a good reach of neck and good forequarters; and agai, he has a correctly spannable ribcage. When they moved together they were both impressive exhibits but standing doesn’t quite have the stifles as my first place winner. I was pleased to award him Reserve Best of Breed.

Dandie Dinmont Terrier

Puppy (2 entries, 1 abs)

1st 540 Sleight’s Bonnybeck Miss Independent

This bitch is very young puppy but she should have a bright future as she has excellent angulation fore and aft. She has quite a strong head, a correct bite, and she is impressive when standing but of course she needs more time to develop. However, today her confirmation was impressive and I was pleased to award her Best of Breed and also Best puppy.

Junior (1 entry, 0 abs)

1st 539 Sleight’s Finamor’s King Of The Road At Bonnybeck

Handled very well by the winner of puppy class, this 17-month-old male was presented in a very well-trimmed coat. I did prefer the puppy, who oozes quality and promise. Therefore, this male was Reserve Best of Breed.

Parson Russell Terrier

Puppy (2 entries, 1 abs)

1st 542 Baker’s Pacolito Veni Vedi Veci (BOB & BP)

A masculine Parson terrier who is very well made with good straight bone and substance. He has a very well-balanced head and neat V shaped ears to the corner of his eye. He has very good front angulation, a level top-line with slightly arched loin. He has a straight tail carried upright on the move. His hind quarters are well muscled; a very impressive mover. I was very pleased to award him Best of Breed and Best Puppy.

Open (1 entry, 0 abs)

1st 541 Baker’s Pacolito Notorious

A spannable, smooth coated feminine bitch who looks good when standing with a good level top-line and good hind-quarters. The puppy, owned by the same handler, was Best of Breed since he has more angulation fore and aft; so I believe he will have a bright future. Pleased to award her Reserve Best of Breed.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Puppy (3 entries, 1 abs)

1st 548 Parry’s Saxstaff La Diosa

A tan and white bitch puppy with straight well boned front legs and neat feet. She has a very well-muscled body for her age and an excellent spring of rib. Since she is very well balanced, she moved well and came to an impressive stance. Pleased to awarded her Best Puppy.

2nd 545 Hemstock’s Jolihem Naboo The Enigma

A predominantly white female SBT, who is a little older than my winner and not quite as mature but she has a very good attitude. She also has well boned forelegs and very well-muscled stifles but needs more maturity and practice to move well, which I am sure she will do in the future.

Junior (1 entry, 0 abs)

1st 551 Speirs’ Zeno

A very well-balanced male with a masculine head, a broad skull and a distinct stop onto a good reach of neck. He has a glorious, shiny black and short close coat. His body is very well- muscled and his stifles are also very well-muscled. He moved out quite well and came to a good stand with an impressive outline.

Post Graduate (2 entries, 0 abs)

1st 550 Petts’ Arkenstaff Shes The One At Brydonstaff (BOB)

A two-year-old bitch with a very feminine broad skull. She has a good reach of neck into well laid shoulders and a correct return of upper arm. Her body is balanced and she has excellent well-muscled stifles with well let down hocks. Standing she was equally balanced on her legs, not twisting in or out which she also exhibited with her impressive hind action movement. Pleased to award her Best of Breed

2nd 546 Holloway-Vine’s Bow Girl

She has a balanced deep head with a broad skull but her bite is not quite correct. Her front legs are quite well boned and straight but didn’t have the hind-quarters of my first place winner. She was shown in a good short shiny coat. She has really nice feet but sadly she did not want to move today; sadly the weather was really too hot for her.

Open (2 entries, 0 abs)

1st 547 Lloyd’s Kalostaff Es Lo Que Es JW (Res BOB)

This male has a broad head and very pronounced cheek muscles. His neck is strong and well-muscled and his body is very balanced with a good spring of rib and a very well-muscled level top-line. His front legs are very well boned and he stands well, both fore and aft, with strong muscled quarters. Today he lost out to the Post Graduate winner who was the Best mover today. Nevertheless, I was still pleased to award this exhibit Reserve Best of Breed.

2nd 549 Parry’s Leebee’s Zakiyah At Saxstaff

Standing this bitch has a very typical head and body for the breed overall. However, today, she did not co-operate with her handler on the move, so she needs more experience and practice. Once this exhibit has learnt how to move and show to advantage, she should do well since she is very well made.

Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier

Puppy (1 entry, 0 abs)

1st 555 Symonds’ Calvenace Hunky Dory (BP & RBOB)

An eleven-month-old male with a moderately long head with a level skull. He has a good reach of neck into well laid shoulders and a level top-line. He was shown in an excellently prepared wheat-coloured coat. He has excellent stifles and he moved very well with good drive from the rear. He should have a good future so I was pleased to award him Best Puppy and Reserve Best of Breed

2nd 552 Gent, Gent & Gent’s Calvenace House Of Fun

A 5-year-old male, presented well with adequate fore-quarters and good hind-quarters. However, his gait/action was not ideal today; probably due to the hot weather.

A mature male with a good spring of rib, a short back with a level top-line. His front legs are straight and well boned. He has a full hard wiry strong coat which was very attractive but since this day was so hot, it was understandable that he was panting heavily on the move.

2nd 571 Brookes’ Zetamaz Ella Viday

When this exhibit walked into the ring I thought she would be my winner since she has an impressive outline and a perfectly carried straight tail. However, today she was not behaving to perfection. I have seen this bitch shown to perfection and when she behaves she takes my breath away.
