BOS DARK MAGIC TOUCH (MR KEITH RAMSHAW)
BP RABRAM ROYAL STAR (MR R LEGGATT)
I was delighted to receive an invitation to judge Bull Terriers at Scottish BTC Open Show as I have always found it to be a nice show with a friendly atmosphere. I would like to thank all members of the Committee for their hard work and the exhibitors for entering under me. Thank you to the secretary and two lady stewards for their help and assistance. The quality of the dogs presented was excellent, I was very pleased that all the exhibits were shown in a good condition. Handling was at a high level too. My co- judge Bridget Salwski-Mielchen (Slantingshore), who judged Miniature Bull Terriers, and myself were in complete agreement for our Best In Show and Best Puppy in Show. Those titles went to two outstanding specimens who have a bright future ahead.

1st RABRAM ROYAL STAR (MR R LEGGATT)
10 months old, beautifully marked black brindle and white. A very smart dog of a great type. His head is powerful, very well curved and has enough fill. Strong and deep under jaw. Beautiful expression, good eye, small ears bang on top, correct mouth with one canine misplaced. Lovely front and tidy feet. Good bone, tail set correctly. Masculine for his age. Moves well in front, a little close behind. Very good temperament typical for the breed. A very promising young male of a high quality, whose name suits him perfectly. BP RBD BEST PUPPY IN SHOW.

1st ALIZARIN SILVER GUNSMITH (MR & MRS G & C MCCULLOCH)
18 months old lovely brindle and white of a good type, well put together, good turn of head, I would like a little bit more fill. Small, neat ears which are set well, perfect mouth. Good lay of shoulders into straight front and good cat- like feet. Moves ok in front, little close behind, holds his top line well. A very good make and shape, moderate length of back. I would like a little bit more bone. Nice dog of a pleasant temperament, who was handled very well, in a lovely condition.
2nd BRADAK INKREDIBULL GENERAL AT FUNKAIDELIX (MISS & MR F & K LIGHTBURN & LIGHTBURN)
2 years old male, beautiful brindle and white colour. Bigger then number 1 and more matured. His head has a good curve and finish, keen, dark eyes. Sadly, his nose lacks pigmentation. Mouth unfortunately undershot, but correct placed canines. Pity that he did not use his ears today and was a little bit nervous in the ring. Overall make and shape is good, straight front, correct feet, good bone, well set tail. In good condition. Shame that today he didn’t make the best of himself for his handler.

1st BLAZINBULLYS DARK KNIGHT (MR & MRS S & R MATHISON)
Typy, 18 months old black brindle and white male whose head has good turn and finish. Surprisingly small eye for a coloured dog, giving the most piercing expression. I would prefer a little bit more fill under eyes. Perfect mouth. Lovely, small ears, which he uses, set correctly. Beautiful make and shape, great lay of shoulders, ultra short back, straight front and tidy cat-like feet. A great example of a good temperament – a real showman. Handled to perfection and in immaculate condition. Moves with drive and power. He is not a big dog but has maximum substance for his size and a great balance. You really have to go over this dog to fully appreciate his quality. I am happy I had such opportunity. BD BOB BEST IN SHOW
2nd COSMOPOLITAN ORDEAL BY FIRE (ACTAR00756HUN) (MR S PARRA LOPEZ)
Very attractive, of a good type, 2½ year old, red and white male, nice markings, a lovely turned and well filled head, beautiful eye, ears are neat and set nicely, unfortunately mouth off but canines are placed correctly. Lovely neck leading to well laid shoulders, short back and well angulated rear. Very good tail set. Good feet and straight front. In my opinion could carry a little bit more weight. Good bone. Movement better coming than going, holds his topline well. A very nice dog with a pleasant temperament. Handled well.

1st DIKRAM DREAM LEGACY (MR & MRS M & D LITTLEFAIR)
3½ years old, beautiful brindle and white bitch, full of type. Her head is very well turned with impressive, tremendous fill, best head in show today. Small eyes and small neat ears bang on top. Two incisors off with correct placed canines. Superb strong under jaw. Plenty of bone, square front and correct feet. Could have a better lay of shoulders. Short back and well angulated rear. Tail set correctly. Would like to see her more on her toes when standing, however moves with drive and typical for the breed attitude. Loved her type.
2nd IRAZISTABULL STAR OF ATHENA (MR & MISS DP & S MCDONAGH & MCLEISH)
Nearly 2 years old, white female with ear marking. Her head is very turned, I would prefer a little more fill. Nice, well set ears. Mouth unfortunately off but good placed canines. Very leggy, with a long neck into good shoulders, moderate length of back, very good cat-like feet and correct tail set. I would prefer more bone. She is not my type of bitch however her virtues cannot be overlooked – she has dark, keen eye giving piercing expression, flowing, clean body lines, great bent of stifle, shown in immaculate condition, credit to her owners. Her greatest asset is her screaming femininity. Showed lovely for her experienced handler.

2 years old, very smart and showy black brindle and white female. Her head is beautifully turned, deep and strong but still very feminine. Good under jaw, perfect mouth and canines placed correctly.
