WINNER CH EMRED DIKRAM DEVILS BREW
RUNNER UP SELBULLIE DARK SIDE OF BLAZINBULLYS
BEST OPPOSITE SEX EMRED DEVILS NIGHTHAWK OF KIRKVILLE
It was both a very great honour to be asked to judge this prestigious trophy and a great pleasure to do so with Danny McGregor. Danny and I soon discovered that we were making the same comments about the same dogs, because we were both looking for the same quintessential quality – balance. We were, therefore, in complete agreement that the winner of the Regent Trophy was Ch Emred Dikram Devil’s Brew, the Runner up was Selbullie Dark Side of Blazinbully and best opposite sex, Emred Nighthawk of Kirkville. Devil’s Brew stood out as soon as he entered the ring and was exceptionally well handled, bringing out the best of him. His head is filled and turned with big white teeth in a correct scissor bite, good ear set, keen eye, all giving rise to correct expression, good round bone and tight feet, clean forehand, deep in the brisket, short in the loin with strong well angulated quarters and great ring presence. Selbullie Dark Side of Blazinbully is a cobby, flashily marked bl/brindle terrier always on the go, with his knowledgeable handler knowing when to let him have his head and when to check him back, power packed head, varminty eye, scissor bite, strong neck, short coupled, well muscled quarters and short in the hock. Different types, yes, but with one thing in common, they both carried the stamp of quality, style and type that only balance brings. We sent them both through to the Charlie Girl Cup. In bitches we found our BOS in Emred Nighthawk of Kirkville, not a big bitch, not a shouty look at me bitch but one simply feminine, exuding quality throughout, being very well balanced, standing square, straight front, adequate bone, short back, strong quarters, topped off with a clean turned head and scissor bite. Two others worthy of special mention for me were Bilboen Harlee Quin who came in as reserve competitor and pressed Nighthawk all the way and Serenbull Soul Angel. We sent Nighthawk and Harlee Quin through to the movement trophy.

THE CHARLIE GIRL CUP
There was a starting line up of nine in this competition, emphasising the overall strength of this virtue. The breeders and owners of the dogs and bitches chosen to compete should be justly proud. After first moving them straight up and down, Danny and I were able to cut out four. This is not to suggest that they were poor movers, far from it, just that the remaining five were superior. They being, Ch Emred Dikram Devil’s Brew, Ch Dofro Tjurpanna Stormrider, Ch Ukusa Dosequis, Bilboen Harlee Quin and Ch Javarke River Romance. After moving them again, two stood out, they being Ch Emred Dikram Devil’s Brew and Ch Dofro Tjurpanna Stormrider both of whom moved parallel both ways with long low strides covering lots of ground coming and powerful thrust from the hocks going. We believed that Stormrider just had the edge as he maintained a perfect topline throughout the proceedings and he took the prize.
Mr Frank Dyson (Tawnbarr) UK
My co-judge and I also judged the Charlie Girl Cup for Best Mover. I was very pleased to see there were some very good movers, which all bodes well for the breed CHARLIE GIRL CUP WINNER– Mr & Mrs D Catalina’s Ch. Dofro Tjurpann Stormrider (Ch. Megaville Signing Off ex Ice’s Satin Desire of Quentenhill). Moved completely parallel and with drive, striding out and owning the ground he walked on.

WINNER CH BILBOEN GLOWING GODDESS
RUNNER UP CH RABRAM ROLLING DEEP
A heartfelt thank you to the Bull Terrier Club for the invitation to judge the Ormandy Jug for Bitches at this prestigious event. I was pleased with the overall depth of quality offered in the bitches and offer my congratulations to all of the entrants on their invitation to compete.It was a great pleasure to judge with Carolyn Lambert and we were in complete agreement on our selections. Our winner, Ch Bilboen Glowing Goddess is a stunning bitch. She presents a superb outline as she’s beautifully balanced and so shapely with deep well sprung ribs and a really lovely neck that flows seamlessly into her correct topline. Her back is short and she has a tail-set correct. Just the right length of leg and bone for her type. A classical head that is completely turned with good fill, depth and strong underjaw. Correct bite. Keen dark well-set eye and neat ears. Strong pasterns and good feet. She moved easily and with good reach albeit a touch close behind. She was indeed “glowing” and completely at one with her handler. Very well conditioned and beautifully presented. Congratulations to her breeder/owner/handler. Our Runner up Ch. Rabram Rolling Deep, a favourite of mine, stood out and dominated with her sheer power, bags of bone, great substance and body shape. Her beautiful head has a great length of foreface, is well filled and has a sweeping profile and good depth. Keen expression and neat ears. Bite is a couple of incisors just off. Her body is shapely with a wonderful fore chest that only comes with a well-laid shoulder and upper arm. Good cat feet with strong pasterns. She has tremendous rib spring, a short back and powerful well let down and defined quarters. She moved well going, a little loose in front. She never let up giving her owner/handler 100% the whole time.
Mrs Norma Smith (Magor) Canada
I would like to thank The Bull Terrier Club Committee for inviting me to judge The Ormandy Jug for Bitches, something I consider to be the highest honour. I was particularly pleased to have as my co-judge Mrs Norma Smith, who has been a friend for many years and it was great to have the opportunity to judge with her. We were in complete agreement with our winner and after a brief consideration for our runner up, we also agreed on our choice. Winner: Champion Bilboen Glowing Goddess. A really super white bitch of outstanding quality and type. Beautiful elegant lines when viewed from the side. Very good head, gently curved and filled with a good mouth, neatly shaped and well placed ears. Small, triangular eyes giving an excellent expression. She has a wonderful length of neck leading into a short back, correct topline and shapely, well angulated hindquarters. Good front, although her front feet turn out a touch. She has neat, cat like feet. Her movement is parallel both ways and she moved out with drive and pace, covering the ground with long strides. She was put through to compete for the Charlie Girl Cup for Movement. Shown in great condition and handled to perfection, she is certainly a beauty to behold. Runner-up:Champion Rabram Rolling Deep. A very different type to the winner but another super example of the breed. Unbelievably, she had a litter just 8 weeks ago, so congratulations to the owner who was able to present her in such good condition. Understandably she was carrying a little too much weight today but her extreme virtues more than compensate for this. She is so typy with plenty of substance and great bone. Powerful head, well filled with a good mouth. Deep, wide ribcage, short back and well angulated quarters. I personally preferred the more feminine lines of the winner but there is no denying this bitch’s many positive virtues. The other bitch to be put forward to compete in the Charlie Girl Cup for Movement was Champion Javarke River Romance.

WINNER SELBULLIE DARK SIDE OF BLAZINBULLYS
BOS EMRED DEVILS NIGHTHAWK OF KIRKVILLE
It was a great pleasure to judge the Sandawana Trophy with Jan Dykema and we had no trouble in coming to joint decisions. Thank you to the club for the invitation to be part of this unique event.Having the males in the ring first, followed by the bitches, is a good move, making life easier for dogs, handlers, spectators and judges alike. We had a classy selection of coloureds to go over; as ever one could have wished for more traditionally marked brindles. From the males, Selbullie Dark Side of Blazinbullyswas our choice. He’s a beautifully typy black brindle, very much all of a piece and with masses of breed character. His head and expression are excellent with a super profile and roman finish, enough fill, the wickedest of eyes and ears bang on top. OK neck into the shortest of backs with a correct topline and tailset, bone in proportion, straight front legs, tight feet and some forechest. Plenty of substance for his size. Could wish for a bit more turn of stifle but he stands four square. Moved true behind when he settled, though slightly wide in front. Jaunty side gait, could have a shade more reach and drive. I loved the overall picture, every inch a Bull Terrier. Also in contention was Bilboen Final Conflict, good to see such a handsome brindle, a good all-round dog with plenty of bone and substance if not so ultra-compact as winner. Ch Vetsbullies Jesus of Briden has a super head and bone but his mind was on other things today. The sound athletic movement of the red Neverland Devils Own was a pleasure to see. On to the bitches and these were more even with all of them in with a shout. For her sheer typiness our choice was the tricolour Emred Devils Nighthawk of Kirkville, ultra-feminine and with tremendous personality, beautifully turned head with super eyes and ears and again such a varminty expression, has the Emred trademark in combining an exceptionally short back with an eyecatching reach of neck, super shapely body, bone in proportion and a decent forechest. Again moves with style if not with the greatest length of stride. We also considered La Perla Warbonnet, a striking, much bigger tri of a contrasting type with a handsome head and who scored on her super bone, reach and scope. Not so short in back as the winner and will I suspect take more time to reach her full potential. The petite red Serenbull Soul Angelis particularly good behind the collar with a super shape and correct angulation (well laid shoulders seem so rare nowadays) and consequently moved really well in all directions; she and Devils Own were our choices to go on to the movement trophy. Now for the hard bit, choosing between Dark Side and Nighthawk for the overall win. Thought they complemented each other well, with similar virtues and similar balance, though unquestionably masculine and feminine respectively. For me the dog scored decisively on pasterns and feet, and at the crucial moment he moved truer behind. Two lovely examples of Bull Terrier type, and good to see them make their mark in the Regent Trophy competition later in the day.
Mr Simon Parsons (Deavitte) UK
After years of attending the trophy shows in the UK and observing from the sidelines, I was beyond thrilled to participate in this historical event from inside the ring. Thank you for the opportunity to judge the Sandawana Trophy. Judging with my co judge Simon Parsons, was a pleasure and our minds met in every instance so that no referee was necessary. The classes were divided into dogs and bitches. This was very good procedure as it gave the animals and owners more space to show off the positives virtues of each dog/bitch. Congratulations to every exhibitor and thank you for participating. Simon and I had some wonderful exhibits to examine. In the end: Winner from the dog selection: Selbullie Darkside Of Blazinbullys (Ch Blazinbullys Dark Knight ex Selbullie Too Hot To Handle) Owners : Mr & Mrs. Mathison: Breeders : Mr. M Thompson & Miss T. Wood A powerful black brindle that commanded the ring with his “look at me” attitude. Just enough spark to stand up on his toes and just enough great nature to show that bully character we all love to see. A super combination! Viewed from the side he is ultra short backed with proper amount of rise over the loin and good tail set. Elbows well tucked in, leading to legs with adequate bone for his style of dog. Rear could do with a smidge more turn of stifle. Hocks well let down. Front view shows straight front, cat toes and good width of chest. Oh my, that head! This dog shines with what is the archetypical signature of our breed. Fully turned and filled with expression that is “varminty” and wicked, set off by front than rear but with the ease and jaunt that is typical for our breed. Kudos to his breeders and owners. Winner from the bitch selection: Emred Devils Nighthawk of Kirkville( Ch Emred Devils Advocate ex Emred Dear Prudence) Owners: M. Young & D. Lamonby; Breeders: R.& D. Lamonby There was a veritable “embarrassment of riches” in this class as more than one bitch could catch your eye for very different reasons. The winner, Nighthawk, is an tri colour sweeps and curves package while retaining tons of type. No mistake, this is a feminine bitch that also exudes bully character. Side view brings the shortest of backs with the depth of fore chest and reachy neck with excellent lay of shoulder leading to a smooth top line with nary a wrinkle. Correct tail set. Like the dog she could use a bit more turn of stifle. Profile is an unbroken arc from top of head to tip of nose with excellent length. View from the front is equally impressive. Well-filled head with tiny tight triangular eyes placed high on head. Small tidy ears, used well. Perfect bite. Her chest is broad and deep with a straight front leading to feet that, if you were picky, could be a bit tighter but style and bully character brought her to the forefront today. Moved with attitude and perkiness. Well handled to perfection. The final decision was a “flip a coin” moment with outstanding virtues of both dog and bitch being very similar. Type type and more type in each. The dog tipped the scale by a pennyweight in the end moving a bit more true and a bit more up on his toes but on any other day it could be reversed and both are stellar examples of the breed. Other animals in consideration: Bilboen Final Conflict. A well marked brindle with lots to offer in the substance category Ch Vetbullies Jesus of Briden. Lovely dog that really wanted to be in with the bitches for reasons of his own and let his handler know it! La Perla Warbonnet. Substantial tri color bitch that caught my fancy. Upstanding with super bone and a dynamite front with cat feet and a lovely head. Charlie Girl Choices for Best Mover Dog: Neverland Devils Own. Red dog, sound and true in every direction. Bitch: Serenbull Soul Angel. Red and white well made bitch tracking smoothly around the ring is every direction Respectfully submitted,

Many thanks to the BTC Committee for the honour of judging the BTC International Trophy. Unfortunately my co-judge, Mr. Jimmy Henderson, was unable to judge on the day due to the extreme fog that morning. My very dear friend Mrs. Josephine Hylands (Terjos) stepped in and it was an experience I will never forget. There was a great deal of quality in the ring and we were in complete agreement with both our Trophy winner and Best of Opposite Sex. I would like to thank the exhibitors who made the very long journey to bring their dogs to compete. From Poland, the winner of The Bronze Bull Terrier Head, was the brindle dog, Busta Rhymes Let’s Go Party Bulterier. A masculine dog with a powerful head, who never stopped showing. His brindle is a rich mahogany and notably, was one of the few brindles on the day. His head is long and deep, has good width of muzzle and correct dentition. Ears are well placed and along with his small eye gives the classic varminty expression. Neck is long, with a good shoulder and topline. Lovely straight front and strong pasterns. He has well angled rear quarters and a correct tailset. He moved well both front and rear. From the side his topline held true; he moved freely and tracked nicely. Congratulations to his handler who skillfully showed an energetic young dog to this very deserved win. From France, our choice for The Terjos Trophy for Best of Opposite Sex, was the lovely white bitch, Bullyrun Noosa. This type of compact, powerful bitch with a smooth athletic build, always catches my eye. Her head is feminine, and packed full from every angle. Her clean, sweeping downturn is to be admired. Her eyes are obliquely set with ears on top, making for wicked expression. Dentition is correct. Her front construction is very good with good bone all the way down to strong pasterns and correct feet. She is short backed with a correct tailset. She carries beautiful round muscle both front and rear and was shown in hard condition. She moved well all ways. This is a high quality bitch.
Mrs Melanie Whitehair (USA)
I was asked to judge in the International Trophy in place of Mr Jimmy Henderson, who was unfortunately unable to travel to the show because of heavy fog, and it gave me great pleasure to do so. I was doubly pleased to be able to judge with my very dear friend, Mrs Melanie Whitehair, whom I have known for a long time. Melanie and I were in complete agreement throughout the judging process. The winner of the International Trophy was BUSTA RHYMES LETS GO PARTY BULTERIER from Poland. A very striking, heavyweight, brindle dog with a power packed head, with great depth and lovely turn. He caught my eye when he walked into the ring as he has a good eye and a lovely expression, with ears bang on top, lovely front and feet. Mouth okay with a well-developed shapely body and nice quarters. He moved well both ways. The winner of the Terjo’s Trophy for Best Opposite Sex was BULLYRUN NOOSA from France. An outstanding bitch, oozing femininity with a beautiful head, completely filled and turned with a stunning profile. Super eye and expression with lovely neat ears bang on top, mouth good. She has a lovely long neck and a nice short back with lovely shapely body lines and she just exuded type and quality. She moved well both ways. My thanks to all Exhibitors for travelling to the UK and presenting such lovely dogs and bitches to participate in the International Trophy

WINNER CH BILBOEN GLOWING GODDESS
RUNNER UP CH RABRAM ROLLING DEEP
A heartfelt thank you to the Bull Terrier Club for the invitation to judge the Ormandy Jug for Bitches at this prestigious event. I was pleased with the overall depth of quality offered in the bitches and offer my congratulations to all of the entrants on their invitation to compete.It was a great pleasure to judge with Carolyn Lambert and we were in complete agreement on our selections. Our winner, Ch Bilboen Glowing Goddess is a stunning bitch. She presents a superb outline as she’s beautifully balanced and so shapely with deep well sprung ribs and a really lovely neck that flows seamlessly into her correct topline. Her back is short and she has a tail-set correct. Just the right length of leg and bone for her type. A classical head that is completely turned with good fill, depth and strong underjaw. Correct bite. Keen dark well-set eye and neat ears. Strong pasterns and good feet. She moved easily and with good reach albeit a touch close behind. She was indeed “glowing” and completely at one with her handler. Very well conditioned and beautifully presented. Congratulations to her breeder/owner/handler. Our Runner up Ch. Rabram Rolling Deep, a favourite of mine, stood out and dominated with her sheer power, bags of bone, great substance and body shape. Her beautiful head has a great length of foreface, is well filled and has a sweeping profile and good depth. Keen expression and neat ears. Bite is a couple of incisors just off. Her body is shapely with a wonderful fore chest that only comes with a well-laid shoulder and upper arm. Good cat feet with strong pasterns. She has tremendous rib spring, a short back and powerful well let down and defined quarters. She moved well going, a little loose in front. She never let up giving her owner/handler 100% the whole time.
Mrs Norma Smith (Magor) Canada
I would like to thank The Bull Terrier Club Committee for inviting me to judge The Ormandy Jug for Bitches, something I consider to be the highest honour. I was particularly pleased to have as my co-judge Mrs Norma Smith, who has been a friend for many years and it was great to have the opportunity to judge with her. We were in complete agreement with our winner and after a brief consideration for our runner up, we also agreed on our choice. Winner: Champion Bilboen Glowing Goddess. A really super white bitch of outstanding quality and type. Beautiful elegant lines when viewed from the side. Very good head, gently curved and filled with a good mouth, neatly shaped and well placed ears. Small, triangular eyes giving an excellent expression. She has a wonderful length of neck leading into a short back, correct topline and shapely, well angulated hindquarters. Good front, although her front feet turn out a touch. She has neat, cat like feet. Her movement is parallel both ways and she moved out with drive and pace, covering the ground with long strides. She was put through to compete for the Charlie Girl Cup for Movement. Shown in great condition and handled to perfection, she is certainly a beauty to behold. Runner-up:Champion Rabram Rolling Deep. A very different type to the winner but another super example of the breed. Unbelievably, she had a litter just 8 weeks ago, so congratulations to the owner who was able to present her in such good condition. Understandably she was carrying a little too much weight today but her extreme virtues more than compensate for this. She is so typy with plenty of substance and great bone. Powerful head, well filled with a good mouth. Deep, wide ribcage, short back and well angulated quarters. I personally preferred the more feminine lines of the winner but there is no denying this bitch’s many positive virtues. The other bitch to be put forward to compete in the Charlie Girl Cup for Movement was Champion Javarke River Romance.

BOS EMRED DEVILS NIGHTHAWK OF KIRKVILLE
It was a great pleasure to judge the Sandawana Trophy with Jan Dykema and we had no trouble in coming to joint decisions. Thank you to the club for the invitation to be part of this unique event.Having the males in the ring first, followed by the bitches, is a good move, making life easier for dogs, handlers, spectators and judges alike. We had a classy selection of coloureds to go over; as ever one could have wished for more traditionally marked brindles. From the males, Selbullie Dark Side of Blazinbullyswas our choice. He’s a beautifully typy black brindle, very much all of a piece and with masses of breed character. His head and expression are excellent with a super profile and roman finish, enough fill, the wickedest of eyes and ears bang on top. OK neck into the shortest of backs with a correct topline and tailset, bone in proportion, straight front legs, tight feet and some forechest. Plenty of substance for his size. Could wish for a bit more turn of stifle but he stands four square. Moved true behind when he settled, though slightly wide in front. Jaunty side gait, could have a shade more reach and drive. I loved the overall picture, every inch a Bull Terrier. Also in contention was Bilboen Final Conflict, good to see such a handsome brindle, a good all-round dog with plenty of bone and substance if not so ultra-compact as winner. Ch Vetsbullies Jesus of Briden has a super head and bone but his mind was on other things today. The sound athletic movement of the red Neverland Devils Own was a pleasure to see. On to the bitches and these were more even with all of them in with a shout. For her sheer typiness our choice was the tricolour Emred Devils Nighthawk of Kirkville, ultra-feminine and with tremendous personality, beautifully turned head with super eyes and ears and again such a varminty expression, has the Emred trademark in combining an exceptionally short back with an eyecatching reach of neck, super shapely body, bone in proportion and a decent forechest. Again moves with style if not with the greatest length of stride. We also considered La Perla Warbonnet, a striking, much bigger tri of a contrasting type with a handsome head and who scored on her super bone, reach and scope. Not so short in back as the winner and will I suspect take more time to reach her full potential. The petite red Serenbull Soul Angelis particularly good behind the collar with a super shape and correct angulation (well laid shoulders seem so rare nowadays) and consequently moved really well in all directions; she and Devils Own were our choices to go on to the movement trophy. Now for the hard bit, choosing between Dark Side and Nighthawk for the overall win. Thought they complemented each other well, with similar virtues and similar balance, though unquestionably masculine and feminine respectively. For me the dog scored decisively on pasterns and feet, and at the crucial moment he moved truer behind. Two lovely examples of Bull Terrier type, and good to see them make their mark in the Regent Trophy competition later in the day.
Mr Simon Parsons (Deavitte) UK
After years of attending the trophy shows in the UK and observing from the sidelines, I was beyond thrilled to participate in this historical event from inside the ring. Thank you for the opportunity to judge the Sandawana Trophy. Judging with my co judge Simon Parsons, was a pleasure and our minds met in every instance so that no referee was necessary. The classes were divided into dogs and bitches. This was very good procedure as it gave the animals and owners more space to show off the positives virtues of each dog/bitch. Congratulations to every exhibitor and thank you for participating. Simon and I had some wonderful exhibits to examine. In the end: Winner from the dog selection: Selbullie Darkside Of Blazinbullys (Ch Blazinbullys Dark Knight ex Selbullie Too Hot To Handle) Owners : Mr & Mrs. Mathison: Breeders : Mr. M Thompson & Miss T. Wood A powerful black brindle that commanded the ring with his “look at me” attitude. Just enough spark to stand up on his toes and just enough great nature to show that bully character we all love to see. A super combination! Viewed from the side he is ultra short backed with proper amount of rise over the loin and good tail set. Elbows well tucked in, leading to legs with adequate bone for his style of dog. Rear could do with a smidge more turn of stifle. Hocks well let down. Front view shows straight front, cat toes and good width of chest. Oh my, that head! This dog shines with what is the archetypical signature of our breed. Fully turned and filled with expression that is “varminty” and wicked, set off by front than rear but with the ease and jaunt that is typical for our breed. Kudos to his breeders and owners. Winner from the bitch selection: Emred Devils Nighthawk of Kirkville( Ch Emred Devils Advocate ex Emred Dear Prudence) Owners: M. Young & D. Lamonby; Breeders: R.& D. Lamonby There was a veritable “embarrassment of riches” in this class as more than one bitch could catch your eye for very different reasons. The winner, Nighthawk, is an tri colour sweeps and curves package while retaining tons of type. No mistake, this is a feminine bitch that also exudes bully character. Side view brings the shortest of backs with the depth of fore chest and reachy neck with excellent lay of shoulder leading to a smooth top line with nary a wrinkle. Correct tail set. Like the dog she could use a bit more turn of stifle. Profile is an unbroken arc from top of head to tip of nose with excellent length. View from the front is equally impressive. Well-filled head with tiny tight triangular eyes placed high on head. Small tidy ears, used well. Perfect bite. Her chest is broad and deep with a straight front leading to feet that, if you were picky, could be a bit tighter but style and bully character brought her to the forefront today. Moved with attitude and perkiness. Well handled to perfection. The final decision was a “flip a coin” moment with outstanding virtues of both dog and bitch being very similar. Type type and more type in each. The dog tipped the scale by a pennyweight in the end moving a bit more true and a bit more up on his toes but on any other day it could be reversed and both are stellar examples of the breed. Other animals in consideration: Bilboen Final Conflict. A well marked brindle with lots to offer in the substance category Ch Vetbullies Jesus of Briden. Lovely dog that really wanted to be in with the bitches for reasons of his own and let his handler know it! La Perla Warbonnet. Substantial tri color bitch that caught my fancy. Upstanding with super bone and a dynamite front with cat feet and a lovely head. Charlie Girl Choices for Best Mover Dog: Neverland Devils Own. Red dog, sound and true in every direction. Bitch: Serenbull Soul Angel. Red and white well made bitch tracking smoothly around the ring is every direction Respectfully submitted,

Many thanks to the BTC Committee for the honour of judging the BTC International Trophy. Unfortunately my co-judge, Mr. Jimmy Henderson, was unable to judge on the day due to the extreme fog that morning. My very dear friend Mrs. Josephine Hylands (Terjos) stepped in and it was an experience I will never forget. There was a great deal of quality in the ring and we were in complete agreement with both our Trophy winner and Best of Opposite Sex. I would like to thank the exhibitors who made the very long journey to bring their dogs to compete. From Poland, the winner of The Bronze Bull Terrier Head, was the brindle dog, Busta Rhymes Let’s Go Party Bulterier. A masculine dog with a powerful head, who never stopped showing. His brindle is a rich mahogany and notably, was one of the few brindles on the day. His head is long and deep, has good width of muzzle and correct dentition. Ears are well placed and along with his small eye gives the classic varminty expression. Neck is long, with a good shoulder and topline. Lovely straight front and strong pasterns. He has well angled rear quarters and a correct tailset. He moved well both front and rear. From the side his topline held true; he moved freely and tracked nicely. Congratulations to his handler who skillfully showed an energetic young dog to this very deserved win. From France, our choice for The Terjos Trophy for Best of Opposite Sex, was the lovely white bitch, Bullyrun Noosa. This type of compact, powerful bitch with a smooth athletic build, always catches my eye. Her head is feminine, and packed full from every angle. Her clean, sweeping downturn is to be admired. Her eyes are obliquely set with ears on top, making for wicked expression. Dentition is correct. Her front construction is very good with good bone all the way down to strong pasterns and correct feet. She is short backed with a correct tailset. She carries beautiful round muscle both front and rear and was shown in hard condition. She moved well all ways. This is a high quality bitch.
Mrs Melanie Whitehair (USA)
I was asked to judge in the International Trophy in place of Mr Jimmy Henderson, who was unfortunately unable to travel to the show because of heavy fog, and it gave me great pleasure to do so. I was doubly pleased to be able to judge with my very dear friend, Mrs Melanie Whitehair, whom I have known for a long time. Melanie and I were in complete agreement throughout the judging process. The winner of the International Trophy was BUSTA RHYMES LETS GO PARTY BULTERIER from Poland. A very striking, heavyweight, brindle dog with a power packed head, with great depth and lovely turn. He caught my eye when he walked into the ring as he has a good eye and a lovely expression, with ears bang on top, lovely front and feet. Mouth okay with a well-developed shapely body and nice quarters. He moved well both ways. The winner of the Terjo’s Trophy for Best Opposite Sex was BULLYRUN NOOSA from France. An outstanding bitch, oozing femininity with a beautiful head, completely filled and turned with a stunning profile. Super eye and expression with lovely neat ears bang on top, mouth good. She has a lovely long neck and a nice short back with lovely shapely body lines and she just exuded type and quality. She moved well both ways. My thanks to all Exhibitors for travelling to the UK and presenting such lovely dogs and bitches to participate in the International Trophy
