I would like to thank all the exhibitors who made the effort to travel up to Edinburgh for the early, 9am start where I was pleased to note that, whilst the quantity of dogs was low, the quality was pleasingly high. On the positive side of things, movement was, on the whole, good but, on the downside, particularly in the dogs, mouths were not all they should be. That said, mouth faults, be they incisors or canines, are not ‘disqualifications’ and as a judge I’m required to balance the full gamut of faults and virtues, placing the dogs accordingly with those with the most type and virtue (in my opinion) standing at the top. It is the breeder’s job to take a longer term view and improve their stock by careful and informed selection of breeding partners.

1st BROOKBULLY AVENGER (MR J EMETT)
I loved this young dog, only 13 months, white with red head marking. His head is excellent, having arc, turn, width, depth and fill. Two incisors just level. Lovely clean lines with correct bone and substance, very well balanced with a good neck, shoulder and topline. Short coupled with strong quarters, he moved very well behind, just a tad close in front. I looked at him closely in the final line-up but he’s not quite ready, another month or two to spring his ribs, settle with his handler and he will easily go the distance. One to watch.

1st RABRAM ROYAL STAR (MR R LEGGATT)
A super, masculine black brindle with an excellent head, having long sweeping arc and turn plus width, depth and fill. His mouth is not correct having 2 level incisors and one instanding canine. Nevertheless, oozes type, long strong neck into good shoulders, correct topline and muscular quarters which he uses to full advantage on the move. Front feet a little untidy and I’d like to see him more settled and co-operative with his handler. His virtues, however, well outshone his mouth fault and I was pleased to award him. RDCC
2nd BOBUDDY BRONN (MR S ROFF)
Super heavyweight white with a strong masculine head, having width, depth and fill but not quite the arc of the winner, mouth just slightly off with 2 teeth level. Well constructed and handsome dog showing maximum substance for size with a very good front and strong quarters, he moved extremely well both ways.
3rd TAYLAJAY GAME ON (MRS K MARPLES)

1st IRAZISTABULL STAR OF HADES (MESSRS A & S RAE)
Upstanding black brindle who I have admired from the ring-side and who didn’t disappoint on handling. Beautiful sweeping profile, width and depth, mouth just two teeth level with correct canines. Fully mature, with correct bone and substance, decent shoulder, good straight front and broad strong chest, level topline, good quarters and bend of stifle. Moved well, being parallel both ways although, perhaps if you were splitting hairs he could ‘drive’ off his quarters a little more but, there’s always something!. One to be proud of and I was very pleased to award him DCC & BOB
2nd ARICON EYECON (MR E STANLEY)
White terrier type with pleasing lines, his head is strong and masculine but not the profile or width of the winner, ears are untidy. Good construction with correct neck, shoulders and topline, he moved well both ways.

1st CH BLAZINBULLYS DARK KNIGHT (MR & MRS R & S MATHISON)
Black brindle with a pleasing head, being long with correct arc, width and fill, his mouth is perfect. Built on flowing lines he has a good neck, shoulder and topline with a good, straight front. Decent quarters standing with a good bend of stifle but a little close on the move behind. For me, in the final challenge, he lost out to the two more masculine and powerful dogs
2nd MEGAVILLE HIGHER GROUND (MR & MRS P & A BLAIR)
White, different type altogether. Masculine with super bone and substance he has a strong head with width, depth and fill but would like a more complete profile. Again mouth correct. Good shoulder, topline and straight front, he was disappointing on the move both ways.

1st SERENBULL BACK TO BLACK AT CIVERT (MRS J HEDGES)
Very pretty tricolour - with a beautiful head, having width, fill and arc, sadly she is both undershot and has 2 instanding canines – what a pity. Good bone and substance, well constructed all through, she moved well both ways. BP

1st IRAZISTABULL PANDORA'S STAR (MR & MISS D P & S MCDONAGH & MCLEISH)
Pretty, feminine white with a correct profile, width and depth, would ideally like a little more fill, mouth is correct. Attractive shapely lines, good neck shoulder and front, strong quarters and moving quite well both ways
2nd MELAIMEE LOLLYPOP SHADOW (MS & MR C & H PEAK & SAHIN)
Tricolour with a long head, broad and wide but needing a little more arc. Incisors correct but both canines instanding. A little over-awed by the occasion today, she was nicely constructed and moved out well both ways

1st BILBOEN ANGELS KISS (MR & MISS J & S KOCABA & WHITE)
Very pretty and pleasing brindle and white with an excellent head, super profile, broad, well filled and turned, one instanding canine. Well constructed with a good shoulder, topline and quarters and good bend of stifle. She was a surprisingly disappointing on the move, appearing to need a little more muscle tone and ‘condition’ to complete the picture.

A tough class with some very good bitches
1st GORBAIN ICE MAIDEN TAWNBARR (MESSRS F & E & MRS J DYSON)
Beautiful white with a super head, having arc, width, fill and turn. Well made all through, powerful with plenty of bone and substance she has a correct shoulder and topline and very strong quarters which, when she settled, she used to full advantage, moving out very well behind. She’s not the most co-operative showgirl and she put her handler to the test but I was, nonetheless, very pleased to award her the BCC.
2nd ABENAKI ROMANTIC DESTINY (MRS H BLOOM)
Another lovely bitch, although of a different, more elegant, type – a super showgirl who pushed hard both in this class and in the challenge for RCC. Very feminine and elegant with a good head, although not the fill of the winner, her mouth is perfect. Lovely flowing lines, long elegant neck, good shoulder and topline, straight front and strong quarters. She moved extremely well both ways.

1st UKUSA VEGAS AT DITON (MR & MRS A J & D B MCCANN)
Beautiful white, presented in tip-top and sparkling condition. Lovely feminine head with gently sweeping profile, width, fill, correct expression and a perfect mouth. Well made all through with a good shoulder and topline, straight front and strong quarters, she didn’t disappoint on the move. Very pleased to award her the RBCC
2nd DARK MAGIC TOUCH (MR K RAMSHAW)
Black brindle and white of a different type being an upstanding and stately girl. Lovely sweeping profile, if not quite with width and fill of the winner, mouth is correct. Lovely elegant neck, good shoulder and topline, straight front, she made a lovely picture standing but lost out on the move. Again, well presented and very well handled.
