I wish to thank the Bull Terrier Club for the fabulous opportunity to judge the Lichfield show. Wonderful entry, superb location and the nicest people. A big thank you to Shaun Mathison and Dr. Joao Salvado for their assistance in the ring. And a special thank you to our greatest asset in England, the friendship of Pete and Anna Blair and Steve Bradder and Julie Bradder whose generosity was above and beyond what anyone would expect. Seeing you all is already a joy, but being treated like family is a privilege I won’t soon forget. Lastly a thank you to Dr. Dinu Catilina and Lisa for their hospitality and the opportunity to spend time with them and Hannah and Alfred. If I thought of an ideal trip in my mind, it would never be this good and you all made me feel appreciated and I hope you know how lucky I am to have you all in my life!

1st QUENTINHILL ARMAGEDDON (MS J SZEWCZYK)
The overall impression is one of potential. A brindle and white youngster with a nice headpiece. Width and filled he length of his muzzle, good dentition. Compact body holding his topline level. Elbows tight as they should be. As would be expected, movement a bit difficult to assess as this happy youngster was excited to be there. What small bit I was able to glean was good in both directions. BP

1st JAVARKE MUNDOO (MRS J JOHNSON)
Went to this nicely profiled black brindle. Packed head with a brilliant wide muzzle, terrific eye placement and he uses his ears well. His front shoulder is not ideal, but his topline remains true. Terrific bone and outstanding rear angulation. His ribs are starting to spring, adding to his strong appearance. Also, on the plus side he moved reasonably well in both directions. He was in good condition and handled to perfection. RBD
2nd KARMARA'S SUGAR DADDY (MRS & MR R & T KARTA-WILLIAMS & WILLIAMS)
This white with head markings 14 month old was very pleasing. He finished 2nd in this class on his front shoulder and less bone compared to the class winner. On the plus side his head is quite nice with a sweeping profile, long and strong and finished well. His expression does not suffer. As mentioned, his shoulder is not ideal but follows his type. Rear angulation is spot with a strong second thigh. Lovely feet add to his many virtues.

1st DEVARCA ANYTHING GOES (MRS & MR R & J SULLIVAN)
Substantial brindle and white, well balanced with good make, shape and bite. Strong head but ultimately could not match the strength of the winner. Strong bone good spring of rib and strong hind quarters. His movement coming is not his strong point but his drive going was correct. Topline down to tail set was correct. Well-conditioned dog and a joy to go over.

1st KENXTWEN LET'S GO (MISS A TOWNEND)
A thug of a red and white. Excellent quality and good proportions. From his head to his bone, he is packing power into a small space. A captivating picture where his neck blends into a short back and correct tail. Lovely feet. His movement going is powerful, but his movement coming is his major downfall and his biggest cross to bear.

1st NAPIER PURE COPPER (MR & MRS M & T FLETCHER)
Red and white, this fellow is well put together with mixes of balance, bone and substance. Extremely powerful headpiece, long, strong with plenty of turn. Keen well placed eye, a correct mouth and tidy ears. Ideal shoulder assembly into a long neck and short back. The aforementioned huge, round bone standing on tight cat feet. Gun barrel front with depth of brisket. All of these virtues translated into strong coming and going movements with drive to smile about. Ultimately leading to his taking the top prize of Best in Show. Compliments to his owner! BD BIS

Puppy Bitch Entries 3 Absentees 1
1st SELBULLIE CHINA WHITE AT KINOKEYA (MR BURNIKELL)
A quite lovely white with head markings whose expression jumps out immediately. A lovely head surrounds that glinting eye with small ears and a good mouth. Correct topline puts her ahead of the second in this class. Her front shoulder is not perfect, but she moved nicely when her puppy enthusiasm allowed for it. Plenty of time to grow and mature and she should be one to watch.
2nd GULWINGS LEAVE IT OUT LOVE (MR & MRS G G & S E TOMLINSON)
Second in this class, this red and white was nonetheless lovely. Long smooth turned head with good bite. Bone and substance are adequate, and she moves decently both ways, but I would wish for stronger and shorter topline. She was also full of herself and made her handler work a bit. I would like to see her with a few more pounds but maturity and experience will help. A nifty little package.

1st VATAHA THE KARMACOMA (MISS A BARTKOWIAK)
A very good red and white youngster who has beautiful clean lines. She sparkles showing off her exceptional head with the sweeping profile love by many. Piercing dark eyes. She has moderate shoulder angulation which is her most significant fault. Rear angulation is lovely along with correct tail carriage. Movement coming is affected by the should but going is strong with power and drive. Bone was above average as were her feet. Presented and shown well.
2nd JAVARKE GALADRIEL AT ADRELLBULZ (MISS L M DAVISON)
Black and white young lady who was a bit more reserved in her performance today. She has a nice feminine head with good length and turn. Good length of neck and she moved decently both ways though I would wish for a stronger and shorter topline. Excellent all around but less interested in being there and that cost her on the day.

1st JAVARKE FAIRY WREN (MRS J JOHNSON)
A lovely brindle and white whose power is front and center. She had poise and flair. Very good head with nice turn, lacking a bit in fill and muzzle width. After that she just checks box after box for front construction, bone, feet. Good fore chest and foreleg. Hindquarters well let down and all together it made for an easy moving girl. Her strength of head kept her from moving along on the day, but certainly one I would love and highly likely to be great producer in the whelping box.
2nd SPARTA Z RZYMSKICH LEGIONOW (IMP POL) (MS K SZPAK)
My apologies to her owner but a very difficult to access white girl who’s lack of showmanship on the day cost her. She was a bit coarse but had a strong enough head with fill under the eye. A more masculine than feminine muzzle and look from the side. Her front shoulder and pasterns were her biggest faults and would undoubtedly affect her movement and stance, but she was uncooperative in that area. A bit more ring training would allow for a better portrait but just was not easy to critique on this day. My apologies again.

1st CLANSMANN FLAME OF GORY (MR P CAMPBELL)
Gleaming smaller red and white with a nicely filled head. Not as much turn as ideal with a touch of brow but a nice dark well-placed eye. Lovely markings with a good bite. Long neck into nice shoulder and front construction. Adequate bone and clean feet. Short back, nice rear angulation and a happy outgoing nature. Presented well and a free and easy mover and her numerous virtues made her memorable as she is not overdone in any way and won the class on her soundness.
2nd SPARTA Z RZYMSKICH LEGIONOW (IMP POL) (MS K SZPAK)
Second in this class she was unfortunate to the bitch above. This white girl with head markings ran into a real showgirl today, but this does not take away from her virtuous head with fill, width and power. Lovely neck down into an above average shoulder. Wonderful bone but would like a tighter stronger pastern. Her feet could also tighten a notch. Lovely level topline and a muscular and angulated rear. Moved well all the ways of the ring. Certainly battled for the class gave away a few small faults a terrific girl with admirable virtues.

1st MEDUSAMYNE LOVELY JUBBLY PUMPKIN (MISS A HIRST)
PUMPKIN Super white girl with ear marks who took the class and Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed. Clean packed head with extremely good width and depth, packed to the end of her muzzle with perfect scissors bite. Piercing eye lending to breath taking expression, nice ear set completes her headpiece. Strong neck of good length leading into a well laid shoulder. Grand bone all the way down to her toes. Short backed with good depth of brisket and well sprung ribs. Rear angulation was ideal, and these qualities set her apart and more importantly allowed for the best mover on the day. She glides while still covering the ground with power. A pleasure to watch as she never puts a foot wrong. BB RBIS BOS
2nd TULSADOOM MESHUGGENEH (MR & MRS D & T WESTWOOD)
While second in this class she was the toughest decision of the day and was ultimately awarded Reserve Best Bitch. She possessed nearly all the virtues of the class winner and fell short only on movement. A head with length, strength and fill. This white girl with an ear mark mirrors her class competitor in ideal construction and angulation. Bone and feet are ideal. She moves freely but with less power and she is a bit more jaunty which makes her seem like she is working a little harder at it. Ties are not allowed, but this lady really made the decision tough because she is quality through and through and a testament to good breeding. RBB

1st TEIRWGWYN VOODOO DOLL (MR & MRS M & A DODD)
Nothing warms my heart like our seniors and this lady is timeless. White with head markings, she has a gently curving profile which shows off her femininity and a lovely head with decent expression. She does have a mouth fault but if she were Stateside no one would notice. Age has taken her topline a bit, but not her bone, angulation or feet. She moves like she looks happy and her look at me attitude was a wonderful conclusion to the afternoon. A credit to good breeding and great care. My appreciation to her owner for bringing her out so we could enjoy each other.
