Liverpool Terrier Club

Liverpool Terrier Club 1 November 2026

I was so pleased to be invited to judge Veteran and Best in Show at this well run show. The Officers and Committee are so determined for the Club to move forward and succeed so they do deserve support from all the Terrier exhibitors in the area. They had attracted a very good entry and my line up for Best in Show had a full compliment of breeds.

AV Veteran

Ch Lavaux’s Bahamian Chris

A 7 year old dog in super coat and condition. He has a long clean head with well set and fringed ears, strong neck into well placed shoulders. Deep rib and keeps his topline correctly. Muscular quarters and has a lengthy stride

Ch Janski Bugurovski

A Cesky who is so well balanced, clean skull and strong foreface, well set ears, enough neck into a well constructed front typical in topline and well set tail , clear colour and put on a good performance.

Best in Show

It seems that all the Best of Breed winners had stayed to compete so competition was quite high. I could have shortlisted several good exhibits but the pressure of time as the hall needed to be vacated at 4pm, left me little time to spare.

Having said that my Best in Show winner was the lovely Airedale Ch Toulsyork Utterly Bonded, in super coat and condition. He has a clean head of good length, strong muzzle and neat ears, well set. Flowing neckline into well placed shoulders, good rib and short coupled, correct tail set and his coat of harsh texture had been well prepared. He was true on the move.

RBIS was the Kerry Blue Kebulak Mr Marvellous who provided good competition , looking well and his coat starting to change colour, clean head, enough neck and carrying a good body, showed to advantage .

BIS 3 was the Veteran Skye

BIS4 was the young Bedlington Maevani Huntress of Spica who had a head of good length, clean skull, dark eye and lovely ear placement, typical in topline and correct tailset, nicely angulated hindquarters, well presented coat of good texture.

Best Puppy was the Bedlington Maevani Huntress of Spica

RBPIS was the young Cairn who was also Best of Breed. Furythor Truly Scrumptiious So alert and has a super expression giving an impressive outline , trust she has a good future.

BPIS 3 was an attractive Sealyham Ornella Honey Moon, who gives a good outline and was well presented in super coat. Needs time to fill her frame

BPIS 4 was a Skye attending her first show, Headscrook Bonnie Wee Lass at Kilfinan only 7 moths but has the makings of a good future. Long head and dark eye, well set ears and a well boned front. Needs time obviously for her coat to develop.
