JUDGE NAOMI RAMSHAW
SPECIAL AWARDS CLASSES
I would like to thank The Bull Terrier Club for inviting me to judge the special award classes, and for putting on such classes to encourage new judges. I would also like to thank the exhibitors whom allowed me to go over their dogs, especially when most, if not all of them, exhibit at championship show level.
Special Award Junior Dog Or Bitch. Entries 1 Absentees 0
1st BLAZINBULLYS SWEET SURPRISE (MISS E PULLEN)
Cobby brindle and white bitch. Well marked with good bone and substance. She has a good head with gentle curving profile, width, depth and fill. Her ears are on top, eye a little bold. Mouth fault. She has a good front and tidy feet, as well as depth and spring of rib. Decent shoulders, although a little more length in upper arm would be preferred. Moved well both ways at a slower pace, rolling a tad when moving faster. Presented well and showed excellently for her handler.
Special Award Post Graduate Dog Or Bitch. Entries 3 Absentees 2
1st VILLENSIA VIRTUOSO (MISS L VILLENSIA) Elegant tricolour bitch with great virtue. She has a super head, full right up with downface, width and finish. Ears set a little wide apart. Slight mouth fault. Good front and feet and decent forequarter angulation. Level topline and adequately turned hindquarters. Moved better coming than going, a tad close behind. Never stopped showing and presented in beautiful condition, a credit to her handler.

1st SPARTIATE DEVILS VISION (MR & MRS D A & S M HACKETT)
Compact tricolour bitch with great bone and substance. Her head is gentle in profile with good length, depth and finish. Correct Mouth. Decent shoulders, although to be picky would prefer more lay back. Straight front and tidy feet. Good spring of rib and depth of brisket. Short back, tail set a little high. She has enough turn of stifle and moved with drive, although a little close behind. Presented in great condition and handled well.
2nd TEIRWGWYN VOODOO DOLL (MR & MISS M & A DODD & ROWLANDS)
Upstanding white bitch with red ear marking. Good head with downface, finish and fill to balance. Good front and tidy feet. Decent shoulders and level topline. Tail set a little high. Adequate turn of stifle, above average mover in both directions and held her topline on the move. Presented in beautiful condition and handled well. In my opinion the nature of her mouth fault cost her higher honours.
3rd ROMAGNA RUMOUR HAS IT (MR & MRS M & Y MORGANS)
Well balanced white bitch, the eldest in her class and still retaining her mojo. Nice head with downface, width and fill. Mouth fault. Straight front, feet could be tidier. Good shoulders and level topline. Sound hindquarters. Co-operated well with her inexperienced handler who I hope will continue to show in future.
