I would like to thank the Bull Terrier Club for the honour of giving me the opportunity to judge the October Open Show. I realise there has been comments regarding the numbers present but I feel this is a reflection of the current trends everywhere. However I had a lovely day and was made to feel both comfortable and supported. a lovely lunch was provided by resident chef Jane Peakin (Byzantine) and at the end of the day I left feeling rested and at peace with my decisions

1st MOSTAHBULL BOTH BARRELS (MR & MRS R & A THOMAS)
7½ month tricolour. Good front and rear movement . Adequate profile.
Reggie’s puppy brain will develop into his big boy body and he will continue to improve and become less work for his handler. His creases will iron out and he will become easier to appreciate. Kept in super condition and well handled.

1st UKUSA HAYABUSA AT GROUNDWORX (MR & MISS C & N WEST & JONES)
For me an eye catching substantial dog with good make and shape. Adequate profile and width. Cyril was presented in beautiful condition and well handled making him a pleasure to watch. Moves a little close behind but barely out of puppy. I feel this may improve with time and exercise. BD
2nd AFANBULL GORGEOUS GEORGE (DONNA SARIAGE)
Another strong white dog with head markings. George has a lot going for him, with a good head. Would have liked tighter pasterns and less rear angulation but these can be remedied by presentation as underneath are the bones of a very nice dog.

1st LOUKA GONE RACIN schm (MISS E PULLEN)
At 8 years old Mr McPhangus a tricolour looked good for his age. Good head with a tight canine but this is offset by his make and shape moved well both ways if a little stiff in stifles which is more acceptable for his age. Overall a very nicely made dog in sparkling condition and presentation. More than happy to award Angus RBD.

1st BLAZINBULLYS SWEET SURPRISE (MISS E PULLEN)
Lovely brindle and white. Good head, mouth fault that is more than compensated for by her virtues. Bosie obviously enjoys her food and a few pounds less would show off her lovely make and shape.
2nd BLAZINBULLYS BONNIE LASS (MS & MR M & T ADEY-MCCONNELL & MCCONNELL)
Bonnie is sister to Rosie and on another day under different circumstances could have swapped placings. A lovely well made bitch with a perfect mouth. White with a red eye patch she is kept in mint condition without a hair out of place. Bonnie moved up and down as if an old pro being in tune with her handler.

1st VILLENSIA VIRTUOSO (MISS L VILLENSIA)
A lovely coloured bitch. Bowe is hard to fault on examination. Good rear angulation. Her markings and stance fool you into thinking she is upright in shoulder, but her jaunty movement and gate soon correct this impression. A nicely balanced package who moves well and is well handled and presented in tip top condition. RBB

1st TEIRWGWYN VOODOO DOLL (MR & MISS M & A DODD & ROWLANDS)
Substantial eye catching white bitch. Beautifully packaged and in lovely condition. Her mouth fault easily outweighed by her obvious virtues. Found it hard to fault this girl. BB BIS
2nd SPARTIATE DEVILS VISION (MR & MRS D A & S M HACKETT)
Although fond of her own voice this girl was well handled and at no point did I find her offensive. Lovely head with a good mouth. Well balanced with nice movement. Again presented in gleaming condition. A pleasure to watch. I regret not asking her name!
3rd ROMAGNA RUMOUR HAS IT (MR & MRS M & Y MORGANS)
Poppy was a white trooper taking her handler our for the first time. Her handler took her cue from Poppy and all went well. Would have preferred her shorter cast but she moved well and strutted up the mat showing herself off like a young girl again. Her mother and I watched enviously. Her handler did a very nice job and learnt from Poppy.
