Many thanks to the Coloured Bull Terrier Club for this wonderful opportunity to judge their show. The quality of Bull Terriers was very high and made my day challenging; many thanks to their exhibitors for bringing them. It was exciting to see so many well made Bull Terriers and I had some difficult decisions. The day was very enjoyable with the help of my capable Ring Stewards, Roger Woodward and Chris Wright. Also, many thanks to Mary Marsden and Jackie Musgrove for their help through the day. Kelly Marples served us a stunning lunch which was much appreciated.

Many thanks to the exhibitors for bringing me these two lovely animals!
I believe that the most difficult task of a judge is to write a critique of any veteran. Fortunately for me, all of the well deserved applause from the audience for these two lovely animals carried thru onto my recorder and muffled my comments.

1st SERENBULL BUFFALO SOLDIER (MRS & MISS & MISS S & K & L NISBET & KELLY & KELLY)
This young dog was a real treat to see in the ring! An upstanding, solid red smut with wicked expression. His ears are right on top of his packed full head, well placed eye and a gentle turn to his roman finish. Mouth is perfect. Nicely angled both front and rear, a lovely short back and correct tailset. Very surprised to see a youngster move this well; his handler had prepared him nicely for his job. Well done! BPIS
2nd UKUSA ZAIKAI (MR & MISS M & R RUDDOCK & CASTREY)
Red smut puppy dog who is well marked. High quality exhibit with a strong head. Good bone and straight front. Moved fairly well and was a tad long in back at this stage. He was having a very good time.

1st MIINROC ONLY THE BRAVE (MISS F MILLS)
Red smut and white terrier type boy. Head is long with gentle turn, good eyes and ears. Long neck and good shoulders with a level topline. Could use more angle behind. In all a nice compact package.

1st CHARMING KING (MISS J D MOORE)
Nicely balanced brindle dog, shown in excellent condition. Gently turned head with good depth of muzzle and tidy ears right on top of his head. Excellent expression. Good straight front, moved well both ways. Very well turned out.
2nd RABRAM ROYAL STAR (MR R LEGGATT)
Black brindle dog with good strong head. He has a very nice eye but his expression was a bit spoiled on the day as he wouldn’t use his ears. Clean, balanced body lines, correct tailset and moved well both ways.

1st KOELLEN CUBEN GOLD (MR M SAMSON)
I liked this red dog very much and he pushed hard for best dog. He has a good strong head with well placed eyes and ears. Straight front, good shoulders, level top line and good rear angles. If he had a bit more width of muzzle and a touch more fill under his eyes he could have gone the whole way. RBD

1st BROKEN ARROW'S PEAKY BLINDER AT TULSADOOM (MR & MRS D & T WESTWOOD)
A very powerful and well made brindle dog. Head is strong and packed full with well placed, varminty eyes. Ears right on top of his head finishing an excellent expression. Nicely angled front and back with a very good topline. He tested his handler on the move and the handler was able to work it through. He held his topline and moved well both ways. In the end, it was his wide and packed full, masculine head that carried him through. Also, he was my choice for the Movement Trophy BD & BIS
2nd BULLYSOUL TO HARD TO HANDLE (MR & MRS S & K KETTLEBOROUGH)
Well balanced and nicely marked brindle and white dog. His head is strong and turned nicely complimented with a good eye and expression. Long arched neck with a good front and tidy feet. Good rear angles and tail set; he moved well both ways.

1st SERENBULL SOUL ILLUSION (MRS & MISS & MISS S & K & L NISBET & KELLY & KELLY)
Happy and cobby, tricolour girl who is littermate to today’s Best Puppy. Long strong and deep powerful head that is filled and turned. She has an unfortunate mouth fault but that shouldn’t detract from her overall quality. This girl has excellent angles front and rear and also has a wide deep chest. I loved how her neck, shoulder and chest flowed beautifully. Her movement was appropriate for her age and her handler got the most out of her.

1st UKUSA JEZEBEL TO NEVERLAND (MRS D Y GODSALL)
Beautifully marked brindle. Very elegant for such a substantial bitch. She has a long, strong and gently turned head with a nice roman finish; perfect mouth. Good expression with a small eye and ears right on top of her head. Long arched neck that flowed nicely onto her topline. Correct tailset and very well angled behind. She was a bit of a handful on the move but in the end her very patient handler got the job done nicely. High quality exhibit. BB
2nd MIINROC ENVY ME (MISS F MILLS)
Very showy and well made red bitch. Feminine and filled head with nice eyes and tidy ears. Excellent front, shoulder slightly upright, deep chest with a good topline. Her hard condition really showed off her rear angles. Held her topline while moving well in front and a touch close behind. Lovely bitch.

1st MIINROC AMBER MYSTIQUE (MRS S LILLYMAN)
Another showy and well made red bitch. Powerful, feminine head with excellent profile. Small, well placed eyes and thin tidy ears on top gave her keen expression. Shoulder slightly upright but strong, level topline and well made in rear. Moved well both ways. Well done! RBB
Reserve Best Bitch was my most difficult decision of the day. Turned out they are high quality littermates, MIINROC ENVY ME and MIINROC AMBER MYSTIQUE. They were almost twins; identical in quality. On the day I preferred MIINROC AMBER MYSTIQUE as her varminty expression was the decision maker. Congratulations to the breeders for producing these lovely girls!

2nd KOELLEN TRI BEING A GIRL AT ZANKOL (MR & MRS C & S TAYLOR)
Challenging decision. Also a substantial, high quality entry. Good head and expression perfect bite. Well made front and rear however and was showed to perfection. She lost it on her movement which was close in front.
