REGENT TROPHY
Judge: Carl Pew USA
I wish to thank the Committee and the Bull Terrier Club for the honour of judging this year’s Regent Trophy Competition. The exhibits were well prepared, and their owners were most gracious to allow me to evaluate their dogs. My co-judge and I were in complete agreement in our decisions.
Regent Trophy, Charlie Girl Cup for Movement
Winner: Mr. D. Parkington’s Olliebrad Some Might Say. Shapely brindle and white, whose make and shape could be a study of the standard. His head has width and depth, an unexaggerated but smooth profile, very good expression, completely filled fore face, excellent width at the muzzle, and especially good depth at the muzzle, ears set on high, and big teeth in correct scissors alignment. Behind the collar, he has excellent length of neck leading to a very well laid shoulder assembly, front legs are straight, excellent round bone and are tucked right under his ribs correctly. Rib cage is broad and deep with a nice brisket out front. He is square in outline, top line is strong and level with just a slight arch over the loin, rear quarters are muscular and well developed with well let down hocks. He moves exactly as one would expect from his construction with balanced reach and drive, parallel front and rear, covering the ground easily while maintaining his solid top line. He was handily the winner of the Charlie Girl Cup for movement.
Coverwood Casket, Golden State Trophy
Runner Up: Miss D. Heath and Mr. S. Morris’ Ch. Bluepoint Kittiwake. Statuesque all white bitch, with a remarkably strong head without any loss of femininity. She has a dramatically turned profile highlighting her head’s excellent length, wicked expression, small high set on ears, fore face is completely filled without any indentations, strong width and depth at the muzzle and correct bite. She has good length of neck to her shoulders, front legs are straight with good bone, ribcage is well sprung and deep, just off square in outline, rear quarters are well muscled, tail set on correctly. Another top-quality dog worthy of mention was Afanbull Gorgeous George, a white and black brindle marked dog with an excellent head piece, wicked expression, and the shortest of short backs, so needed in the breed these days.
Judge: Eric Stanley (Aricon)

Many thanks to the Bull Terrier Club Committee for inviting me to judge the Ormandy Jug for Dogs. It was a real great honour and a pleasure.My co-judge and good friend Mrs. Linda McGregor were in complete agreement with our placings.
Winner: Legatt`s Ch Rabram Rock Star – is an outstanding white male with an eye patch. 5 years old with a very strong well filled classical head. Keen expression, good ear carriage and dark eye. His mouth is good with one missing incisor by an accident. Very good neck and shoulders. Short strong back, a straight front with good bone. He has a very good rib cage, deep chest and is well angulated. His movement is fair with enough drive from behind. He was well handled, and it was a pleasure to judge him.
Runner up: Foster`s Ch Bilboen Great Dragon`s Spy – a first class brindle and white. Excellent head with fill and a sweeping profile. Correct bite. Good neck and shoulders. Very good top line, straight front and good feet. Good body shape and quarters. Moved extremely well in both directions. Nicely handled we sent him forward for the Charlie Girl Cup.
Also put forward for the Charlie Girl Cup was Patterson`s Ch Golitha Generation X. A good sound dog who moved very well. Also a dog I liked very much was the young brindle and white Parkington`s Ollibrad Some Might Say, the later winner of the Charlie Girl Cup.
Judge: Linda McGregor (Merlindan)
Thank you to the Bull Terrier Club Committee for inviting me to judge this most prestigious trophy. It was also a great pleasure to have as my co-judge my dear friend Ortlieb Lothary. There were two dogs that stood out right away in the line up and my co-judge and I were in complete agreement with our decisions.
Winner: Leggatt’s Ch. Rabram Rock Star – I have judged this dog, a couple of times previously, when he was a youngster I awarded him the RCC at Darlington 2016 and at Crufts 2019 giving him the DCC, at which time he had matured so much I hardly recognised him and this time he didn’t disappoint either. A glorious white dog with an eye patch. Fully matured and in his prime at 5 years old. His head is tremendous, being well balanced of good length and width with a good arc, smoothly filled right up and finished with a gentle turn down. Good ear and eye placement. He now has an incisor missing due to an injury I was told, but other than that his mouth is correct. He has a strong tapering neck leading into a good lay of shoulders, short back and is so well proportioned throughout. Straight front, neat feet and heavy bone. Deep chest, good spring of ribs with a shapely well rounded body and strong well muscled quarters. Moves fairly well but a little close behind. Nicely handled, the dog made the most of himself. So pleased to have had the opportunity of going over him again.
Runner up: Foster’s Ch Bilboen Great Dragon’s Spy – I have watched this dog from the ringside on quite a few occasions, seeing him mature and his progression to a well deserved Champion. A top quality brindle and white dog with a lovely long filled head, classic profile and finish. Correct bite. Good length of neck and lay of shoulders and correct topline. Straight front, deep chest, well sprung ribs and strong quarters. A very good mover, who was parallel and covered the ground. His accomplished handler got the most out of him. Put forward for the Charlie Girl Cup for movement.
Also put forward for the Charlie Girl Cup Trophy was Patterson’s Ch. Golitha Generation X who also moved exceptionally well both coming and going and who I later discovered was Dragon’s Spy’s son.
Another that caught my eye was the very smart 20 month old brindle and white dog Parkington’s Olliebrad Some Might Say. Well filled head with good profile and finish. Correct mouth. Straight front, good bone, nicely balanced all through and moved true both ways. Went on to win the Regent Trophy and the Charlie Girl Cup.
ORMANDY JUG FOR BITCHES
Judge: Eddie Ball (Firecommand)
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the Officers and Committee of The Bull Terrier Club for the kind invitation to judge this prestigious Trophy. I was honoured to accept. My Co – Judge Mrs Teresa Westwood and I were in complete agreement and the final decisions were reached with ease. It was an absolute pleasure to judge alongside Teresa. Overall, mouths were poor with few examples of fully correct dentition. Movement, for the majority was poor and the winner and the runner-up both moved freely and with grace and again, Teresa and I agreed on our choices of these two for the ‘Charlie Girl Cup’ the Trophy for movement.
Winner: Ch. Bluepoint Kittiwake owned and bred by Miss D. Heath & Mr S. Morris. Kittiwake excels in femininity; she has beautiful flowing lines and presents a picture of quality yet excelling in type which accentuates her beauty. She is a very well-balanced bitch. Her head is long, turned and has fill, she has a wicked eye and correct ear placement which gives her lots of expression. Mouth is correct. Her neck is beautiful and flows into her shoulder, the shoulder placement is correct, and she has adequate length of upper arm and the return angle to the elbow is correct. She has a level top line and holds it when moving. Her front is straight, and she has tight feet, elbows are tight, short back and she has excellent rear angulation. Kittiwake moves parallel and with drive, she flexes well at the elbow which allows her reach.
She has a tendency to turn her foot out when standing lazily but she corrects it immediately she ‘switches on’, a dog with a construction fault cannot correct it.
Runner Up: Teirwgwyn Voodoo Doll owned by Mr & Mrs Dodd, bred by Mrs A. Roberts. Teirwgwyn Voodoo Doll came from 1st Reserve into the competition itself and excelled. I really like her, a very well-balanced bitch, again, very elegant with flowing lines. She has a strong head which has depth, turn and fill. Neck flows into well placed shoulder, straight front, tight feet, good spring of rib, top line is level, she is a touch longer in the back than the winner, but she cannot be described as long in her back, I merely draw a comparison between the two. Her rear quarters are strong and well angulated. She moves parallel and with ease. Well handled. Voodoo Doll has a slight mouth fault, and it was the difference today. It was that close. I have no doubt that she will go on to her title. Good Luck.
Judge: Teresa Westwood (Tulsadoom)
I would like to thank the Bull Terrier Club for giving me the honour of judging the Ormandy Jugs for Bitches at the prestigious Trophy Show. It was not only a pleasure to be presented with so many beautiful bitches but also fulfilling this duty with my co-judge Eddie Ball. All bitches were shown in excellent condition and the owners should be proud of not only how they were presented but how they conducted themselves in the ring. On the overall decisions there was very little discussion as we were both in complete agreement, not only on the Winner and Runner Up but that they both should be the exhibits that go forward for the Charlie Girl Cup for movement.
Winner: of the Ormandy Jug for Bitches Ch Bluepoint Kittiwake for me is a bitch who oozes breed type and quality. Not a big substantial bitch but everything in proportion and very neatly packaged. White with small eye patch, her head is well filled and turned. Small, well placed ears along with small eye give correct punishing expression, all topped off with correct scissor bite. Her front is straight with good round bone, adequate fore chest and nice tight feet. Her good length of neck leads into well placed shoulders and short back. Rear quarters are well angulated and muscled which shows when she moves with drive. Holds her top line on the move and tail is carried correctly. Overall, very well balanced. Never stopped showing and is a credit to her handler/owner
Runner Up: Teirwgwyn Voodoo Doll is different in type to the winner. An upstanding, substantial bitch who is still very feminine. White with red ear, head has gentle profile with good width and depth all the way through the muzzle. Her expression is as it should be with correct ear placement and keen eye. She does have a slight mouth fault but canines are correct and for me could not detract from the overall picture. Good reach of neck into well placed shoulders. Deep brisket enhances the overall substance. Slightly long but holds everything together not only when stood but also when on the move. Drives with power from good rear and covers the ground with ease. Again, another bitch who shows from the moment she enters the ring.
SANDAWANA TROPHY
Judge: Kerry King (Brasshead) Australia
Firstly I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge this prestigious event, I am extremely honoured to have been given this opportunity. It was a pleasure to judge with co judge Phil Brodeur “Philgin” USA, we had a wonderful entry of coloured bull terriers. Our winner of the dogs were between #18 CH Bilboen Great Dragon Spy and #22 Olliebrad Some Might say, two lovely brindles with our winner being the more mature, heavier boned boy CH Bilboen Great Dragon Spy with our Opposite of Sex Winner the very typey Ch Emred Devils Nighthawk of Kirkville. Both coloured boys were sent through to the Charlie Girl Cup for Best Mover.
WINNER: CH Bilboen Great Dragons Spy
Strongly built brindle and white boy, he took my eye as soon as he entered the ring. He has a strong head with plenty of width and depth with a well turned head, scissor bite. Well balanced, Quality round bone right down to his catlike feet . Good lay of shoulder with plenty of prosternem. He has a level top line with well muscled hindquarters finished off with short well boned hocks. He moved well coming and going with plenty of drive.
RUNNER UP: CH Emred Devils Nighthawk at Kirkville

WINNER: CH. Bilboen Great Dragon’s Spy
A brindle and white dog possessing full masculinity and presentation. He has a nice head with good fill, length and depth, one could wish for a tad more width at the end of the muzzle. . Good mouth. Pleasing expression that could be further enhanced with a more oblique eye placement. Could use a tad more length of neck and bone. Good front and shoulder leading to a firm topline. Short back. Good spring of rib. Well let down in the rear. Good movement both in front and rear to the point that we sent him on to the Charlie Girl Cup. He is at peak form and it was a pleasure to award him the Trophy.
RUNNER UP: CH. Emred Devil’s Nighthawk of Kirkville
A square but feminine, typy package. She has a pleasing head with good width and depth. Expression would be exemplary with a more varminty eye, but it is enhanced by good ear placement. Acceptable bone for her size. Nice length of neck. Short back with a slight dip in topline. Good spring of rib. Good rear. Moved well in rear, a tad restricted in front. Obviously off a recent litter, her typiness was rewarded. Lovely girl.
INTERNATIONAL TROPHY
Judge: Geoff Skelton (Yashman)
The Bull Terrier Club held its annual trophy show at the Royal Court Hotel where it was my honour to be asked to judge the International Trophy along with my co judge Mr Chris Wright. This was a great experience for me as Chris and I lived by each other and started our journey in the breed at the same time. We had a great selection of quality dogs from across Europe to go over but we agreed on our winners.
Winner From Hungary: Attila Huse ‘ Rebelside I Feel Good’
White dog who as soon as he entered the ring took your eye with his great ring presence and type, a dog of animation and power. His head is filled with turn but not over done. Has a wicked eye and correct ear placement which gives a striking expression, mouth is ok. He has a powerful neck which leads into a staight front with good feet. Good spring of rib and has a short back, has a good bend of stifle and moved ok. I would have liked his elbows a little more tucked under him and a better tail set but even this doesn’t take away from such a quality dog.
Runner Up: Attila Huse ‘Rebelside Silver Rosie’
White girl as with the dog bounced into the ring and said look at me, a mix of animation and type, Her head is turned with fill, cracking eye and ear placement, piercing expression. Has excellant bone but remained feminine, Mouth is good. Front is straight with good feet. Good depth of chest with a short back, has a well angled rear an moved ok.

On writing this critique I realized they are litter mates, they are such alike and an absolute credit to their breeder.
Judge: Mr Chris Wright (Rightstuff)
I would like to thank the Committee of The Bull Terrier Club for the Invitation to Judge the International Trophy.
A fantastic selection of super Bull Terriers all in great condition. I enjoyed Judging with Geoff as we have been friends for many years and were both in complete agreement on our winners.

A credit to the breeder
Judge: Carl Pew USA
I wish to thank the Committee and the Bull Terrier Club for the honour of judging this year’s Regent Trophy Competition. The exhibits were well prepared, and their owners were most gracious to allow me to evaluate their dogs. My co-judge and I were in complete agreement in our decisions.
Regent Trophy, Charlie Girl Cup for Movement
Winner: Mr. D. Parkington’s Olliebrad Some Might Say. Shapely brindle and white, whose make and shape could be a study of the standard. His head has width and depth, an unexaggerated but smooth profile, very good expression, completely filled fore face, excellent width at the muzzle, and especially good depth at the muzzle, ears set on high, and big teeth in correct scissors alignment. Behind the collar, he has excellent length of neck leading to a very well laid shoulder assembly, front legs are straight, excellent round bone and are tucked right under his ribs correctly. Rib cage is broad and deep with a nice brisket out front. He is square in outline, top line is strong and level with just a slight arch over the loin, rear quarters are muscular and well developed with well let down hocks. He moves exactly as one would expect from his construction with balanced reach and drive, parallel front and rear, covering the ground easily while maintaining his solid top line. He was handily the winner of the Charlie Girl Cup for movement.
Coverwood Casket, Golden State Trophy
Runner Up: Miss D. Heath and Mr. S. Morris’ Ch. Bluepoint Kittiwake. Statuesque all white bitch, with a remarkably strong head without any loss of femininity. She has a dramatically turned profile highlighting her head’s excellent length, wicked expression, small high set on ears, fore face is completely filled without any indentations, strong width and depth at the muzzle and correct bite. She has good length of neck to her shoulders, front legs are straight with good bone, ribcage is well sprung and deep, just off square in outline, rear quarters are well muscled, tail set on correctly. Another top-quality dog worthy of mention was Afanbull Gorgeous George, a white and black brindle marked dog with an excellent head piece, wicked expression, and the shortest of short backs, so needed in the breed these days.
Judge: Eric Stanley (Aricon)
It was an honour to judge The Regent Trophy and Charlie Girl Cup with my very good friend Carl Pew We were in complete agreement on our decision With a large entry they were very well behaved. With poor toplines, stiff stilted movement and bad mouths becoming the norm and visiting dogs from abroad becoming more prevalent

ORMANDY JUG FOR DOGS
Judge: Ortlieb Lothary (Amadis)
Many thanks to the Bull Terrier Club Committee for inviting me to judge the Ormandy Jug for Dogs. It was a real great honour and a pleasure.My co-judge and good friend Mrs. Linda McGregor were in complete agreement with our placings.
Winner: Legatt`s Ch Rabram Rock Star – is an outstanding white male with an eye patch. 5 years old with a very strong well filled classical head. Keen expression, good ear carriage and dark eye. His mouth is good with one missing incisor by an accident. Very good neck and shoulders. Short strong back, a straight front with good bone. He has a very good rib cage, deep chest and is well angulated. His movement is fair with enough drive from behind. He was well handled, and it was a pleasure to judge him.
Runner up: Foster`s Ch Bilboen Great Dragon`s Spy – a first class brindle and white. Excellent head with fill and a sweeping profile. Correct bite. Good neck and shoulders. Very good top line, straight front and good feet. Good body shape and quarters. Moved extremely well in both directions. Nicely handled we sent him forward for the Charlie Girl Cup.
Also put forward for the Charlie Girl Cup was Patterson`s Ch Golitha Generation X. A good sound dog who moved very well. Also a dog I liked very much was the young brindle and white Parkington`s Ollibrad Some Might Say, the later winner of the Charlie Girl Cup.
Judge: Linda McGregor (Merlindan)
Thank you to the Bull Terrier Club Committee for inviting me to judge this most prestigious trophy. It was also a great pleasure to have as my co-judge my dear friend Ortlieb Lothary. There were two dogs that stood out right away in the line up and my co-judge and I were in complete agreement with our decisions.
Winner: Leggatt’s Ch. Rabram Rock Star – I have judged this dog, a couple of times previously, when he was a youngster I awarded him the RCC at Darlington 2016 and at Crufts 2019 giving him the DCC, at which time he had matured so much I hardly recognised him and this time he didn’t disappoint either. A glorious white dog with an eye patch. Fully matured and in his prime at 5 years old. His head is tremendous, being well balanced of good length and width with a good arc, smoothly filled right up and finished with a gentle turn down. Good ear and eye placement. He now has an incisor missing due to an injury I was told, but other than that his mouth is correct. He has a strong tapering neck leading into a good lay of shoulders, short back and is so well proportioned throughout. Straight front, neat feet and heavy bone. Deep chest, good spring of ribs with a shapely well rounded body and strong well muscled quarters. Moves fairly well but a little close behind. Nicely handled, the dog made the most of himself. So pleased to have had the opportunity of going over him again.
Runner up: Foster’s Ch Bilboen Great Dragon’s Spy – I have watched this dog from the ringside on quite a few occasions, seeing him mature and his progression to a well deserved Champion. A top quality brindle and white dog with a lovely long filled head, classic profile and finish. Correct bite. Good length of neck and lay of shoulders and correct topline. Straight front, deep chest, well sprung ribs and strong quarters. A very good mover, who was parallel and covered the ground. His accomplished handler got the most out of him. Put forward for the Charlie Girl Cup for movement.
Also put forward for the Charlie Girl Cup Trophy was Patterson’s Ch. Golitha Generation X who also moved exceptionally well both coming and going and who I later discovered was Dragon’s Spy’s son.
Another that caught my eye was the very smart 20 month old brindle and white dog Parkington’s Olliebrad Some Might Say. Well filled head with good profile and finish. Correct mouth. Straight front, good bone, nicely balanced all through and moved true both ways. Went on to win the Regent Trophy and the Charlie Girl Cup.
ORMANDY JUG FOR BITCHES
Judge: Eddie Ball (Firecommand)
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the Officers and Committee of The Bull Terrier Club for the kind invitation to judge this prestigious Trophy. I was honoured to accept. My Co – Judge Mrs Teresa Westwood and I were in complete agreement and the final decisions were reached with ease. It was an absolute pleasure to judge alongside Teresa. Overall, mouths were poor with few examples of fully correct dentition. Movement, for the majority was poor and the winner and the runner-up both moved freely and with grace and again, Teresa and I agreed on our choices of these two for the ‘Charlie Girl Cup’ the Trophy for movement.
Winner: Ch. Bluepoint Kittiwake owned and bred by Miss D. Heath & Mr S. Morris. Kittiwake excels in femininity; she has beautiful flowing lines and presents a picture of quality yet excelling in type which accentuates her beauty. She is a very well-balanced bitch. Her head is long, turned and has fill, she has a wicked eye and correct ear placement which gives her lots of expression. Mouth is correct. Her neck is beautiful and flows into her shoulder, the shoulder placement is correct, and she has adequate length of upper arm and the return angle to the elbow is correct. She has a level top line and holds it when moving. Her front is straight, and she has tight feet, elbows are tight, short back and she has excellent rear angulation. Kittiwake moves parallel and with drive, she flexes well at the elbow which allows her reach.
She has a tendency to turn her foot out when standing lazily but she corrects it immediately she ‘switches on’, a dog with a construction fault cannot correct it.
Runner Up: Teirwgwyn Voodoo Doll owned by Mr & Mrs Dodd, bred by Mrs A. Roberts. Teirwgwyn Voodoo Doll came from 1st Reserve into the competition itself and excelled. I really like her, a very well-balanced bitch, again, very elegant with flowing lines. She has a strong head which has depth, turn and fill. Neck flows into well placed shoulder, straight front, tight feet, good spring of rib, top line is level, she is a touch longer in the back than the winner, but she cannot be described as long in her back, I merely draw a comparison between the two. Her rear quarters are strong and well angulated. She moves parallel and with ease. Well handled. Voodoo Doll has a slight mouth fault, and it was the difference today. It was that close. I have no doubt that she will go on to her title. Good Luck.
Judge: Teresa Westwood (Tulsadoom)
I would like to thank the Bull Terrier Club for giving me the honour of judging the Ormandy Jugs for Bitches at the prestigious Trophy Show. It was not only a pleasure to be presented with so many beautiful bitches but also fulfilling this duty with my co-judge Eddie Ball. All bitches were shown in excellent condition and the owners should be proud of not only how they were presented but how they conducted themselves in the ring. On the overall decisions there was very little discussion as we were both in complete agreement, not only on the Winner and Runner Up but that they both should be the exhibits that go forward for the Charlie Girl Cup for movement.
Winner: of the Ormandy Jug for Bitches Ch Bluepoint Kittiwake for me is a bitch who oozes breed type and quality. Not a big substantial bitch but everything in proportion and very neatly packaged. White with small eye patch, her head is well filled and turned. Small, well placed ears along with small eye give correct punishing expression, all topped off with correct scissor bite. Her front is straight with good round bone, adequate fore chest and nice tight feet. Her good length of neck leads into well placed shoulders and short back. Rear quarters are well angulated and muscled which shows when she moves with drive. Holds her top line on the move and tail is carried correctly. Overall, very well balanced. Never stopped showing and is a credit to her handler/owner
Runner Up: Teirwgwyn Voodoo Doll is different in type to the winner. An upstanding, substantial bitch who is still very feminine. White with red ear, head has gentle profile with good width and depth all the way through the muzzle. Her expression is as it should be with correct ear placement and keen eye. She does have a slight mouth fault but canines are correct and for me could not detract from the overall picture. Good reach of neck into well placed shoulders. Deep brisket enhances the overall substance. Slightly long but holds everything together not only when stood but also when on the move. Drives with power from good rear and covers the ground with ease. Again, another bitch who shows from the moment she enters the ring.
SANDAWANA TROPHY
Judge: Kerry King (Brasshead) Australia
Firstly I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge this prestigious event, I am extremely honoured to have been given this opportunity. It was a pleasure to judge with co judge Phil Brodeur “Philgin” USA, we had a wonderful entry of coloured bull terriers. Our winner of the dogs were between #18 CH Bilboen Great Dragon Spy and #22 Olliebrad Some Might say, two lovely brindles with our winner being the more mature, heavier boned boy CH Bilboen Great Dragon Spy with our Opposite of Sex Winner the very typey Ch Emred Devils Nighthawk of Kirkville. Both coloured boys were sent through to the Charlie Girl Cup for Best Mover.
WINNER: CH Bilboen Great Dragons Spy
Strongly built brindle and white boy, he took my eye as soon as he entered the ring. He has a strong head with plenty of width and depth with a well turned head, scissor bite. Well balanced, Quality round bone right down to his catlike feet . Good lay of shoulder with plenty of prosternem. He has a level top line with well muscled hindquarters finished off with short well boned hocks. He moved well coming and going with plenty of drive.
RUNNER UP: CH Emred Devils Nighthawk at Kirkville
A typey feminine black brindle bitch, showed to perfection. She is well balanced front and rear, beautiful sweeping profile with good expression and scissor bite. Very shapely bitch, oozing quality, moved well.
JUDGE: PHIL BRODEUR (Philgin)
I would like to thank The Bull Terrier Club for inviting me to judge. Many thanks, also, to my co-judge Ms. Kerry King for making it such a fun and enjoyable experience. And finally, to all the exhibitors who make it happen. I had a great time!
WINNER: CH. Bilboen Great Dragon’s Spy
A brindle and white dog possessing full masculinity and presentation. He has a nice head with good fill, length and depth, one could wish for a tad more width at the end of the muzzle. . Good mouth. Pleasing expression that could be further enhanced with a more oblique eye placement. Could use a tad more length of neck and bone. Good front and shoulder leading to a firm topline. Short back. Good spring of rib. Well let down in the rear. Good movement both in front and rear to the point that we sent him on to the Charlie Girl Cup. He is at peak form and it was a pleasure to award him the Trophy.
RUNNER UP: CH. Emred Devil’s Nighthawk of Kirkville
A square but feminine, typy package. She has a pleasing head with good width and depth. Expression would be exemplary with a more varminty eye, but it is enhanced by good ear placement. Acceptable bone for her size. Nice length of neck. Short back with a slight dip in topline. Good spring of rib. Good rear. Moved well in rear, a tad restricted in front. Obviously off a recent litter, her typiness was rewarded. Lovely girl.
INTERNATIONAL TROPHY
Judge: Geoff Skelton (Yashman)
The Bull Terrier Club held its annual trophy show at the Royal Court Hotel where it was my honour to be asked to judge the International Trophy along with my co judge Mr Chris Wright. This was a great experience for me as Chris and I lived by each other and started our journey in the breed at the same time. We had a great selection of quality dogs from across Europe to go over but we agreed on our winners.
Winner From Hungary: Attila Huse ‘ Rebelside I Feel Good’
White dog who as soon as he entered the ring took your eye with his great ring presence and type, a dog of animation and power. His head is filled with turn but not over done. Has a wicked eye and correct ear placement which gives a striking expression, mouth is ok. He has a powerful neck which leads into a staight front with good feet. Good spring of rib and has a short back, has a good bend of stifle and moved ok. I would have liked his elbows a little more tucked under him and a better tail set but even this doesn’t take away from such a quality dog.
Runner Up: Attila Huse ‘Rebelside Silver Rosie’
White girl as with the dog bounced into the ring and said look at me, a mix of animation and type, Her head is turned with fill, cracking eye and ear placement, piercing expression. Has excellant bone but remained feminine, Mouth is good. Front is straight with good feet. Good depth of chest with a short back, has a well angled rear an moved ok.
Would like her elbows to be tucked in and better tail set but as with the dog she carries this with ease.
On writing this critique I realized they are litter mates, they are such alike and an absolute credit to their breeder.

REGENT TROPHYJudge: Carl Pew USA
I wish to thank the Committee and the Bull Terrier Club for the honor of judging this year’s Regent Trophy Competition. The exhibits were well prepared, and their owners were most gracious to allow me to evaluate their dogs. My co-judge and I were in complete agreement in our decisions.
Regent Trophy, Charlie Girl Cup for Movement
Winner: Mr. D. Parkington’s Olliebrad Some Might Say. Shapely brindle and white, whose make and shape could be a study of the standard. His head has width and depth, an unexaggerated but smooth profile, very good expression, completely filled foreface, excellent width at the muzzle, and especially good depth at the muzzle, ears set on high, and big teeth in correct scissors alignment. Behind the collar, he has excellent length of neck leading to a very well laid shoulder assembly, front legs are straight, excellent round bone and are tucked right under his ribs correctly. Ribcage is broad and deep with a nice brisket out front. He is square in outline, topline is strong and level with just a slight arch over the loin, rear quarters are muscular and well developed with well let down hocks. He moves exactly as one would expect from his construction with balanced reach and drive, parallel front and rear, covering the ground easily while maintaining his solid topline. He was handily the winner of the Charlie Girl Cup for movement.
Coverwood Casket, Golden State Trophy
Runner Up: Miss D. Heath and Mr. S. Morris’ Ch. Bluepoint Kittywake. Statuesque all white bitch, with a remarkably strong head without any loss of femininity. She has a dramatically turned profile highlighting her head’s excellent length, wicked expression, small high set on ears, foreface is completely filled without any indentations, strong width and depth at the muzzle and correct bite. She has good length of neck to her shoulders, front legs are straight with good bone, ribcage is well sprung and deep, just off square in outline, rear quarters are well muscled, tail set on correctly.
Another top-quality dog worthy of mention was Afanbull Gorgeous George, a white and black brindle marked dog with an excellent head piece, wicked expression, and the shortest of short backs, so needed in the breed these days.
Judge: Eric Stanley (Aricon)
It was an honour to judge The Regent Trophy and Charlie Girl Cup with my very good friend Carl Pew

ORMANDY JUG FOR DOGSJudge: Ortlieb Lothary (Amadis)Many thanks to the Bull Terrier Club Committee for inviting me to judge the Ormandy Jug for Dogs. It was a real great honour and a pleasure.My co-judge and good friend Mrs. Linda McGregor were in complete agreement with our placings.
Winner: Legatt`s Ch Rabram Rock Star – is an outstanding white male with an eyepatch. 5 years old with a very strong well filled classical head. Keen expression, good ear carriage and dark eye. His mouth is good with one missing incisor by an accident. Very good neck and shoulders. Short strong back, a straight front with good bone. He has a very good ribcage, deep chest and is well angulated. His movement is fair with enough drive from behind. He was well handled, and it was a pleasure to judge him.
Runner up: Foster`s Ch Bilboen Great Dragon`s Spy – a first class brindle and white. Excellent head with fill and a sweeping profile. Correct bite. Good neck and shoulders. Very good topline, straight front and good feet. Good body shape and quarters. Moved extremely well in both directions. Nicely handled we sent him forward for the Charlie Girl Cup.
Also put forward for the Charlie Girl Cup was Patterson`s Ch Golitha Generation X. A good sound dog who moved very well. Also a dog I liked very much was the young brindle and white Parkington`s Ollibrad Some Might Say, the later winner of the Charlie Girl Cup.
Judge: Linda McGregor (Merlindan)
Thank you to the Bull Terrier Club Committee for inviting me to judge this most prestigious trophy. It was also a great pleasure to have as my co-judge my dear friend Ortlieb Lothary.
There were two dogs that stood out right away in the line up and my co-judge and I were in complete agreement with our decisions.
Winner: Leggatt’s Ch. Rabram Rock Star – I have judged this dog, a couple of times previously, when he was a youngster I awarded him the RCC at Darlington 2016 and at Crufts 2019 giving him the DCC, at which time he had matured so much I hardly recognised him and this time he didn’t disappoint either.
A glorious white dog with an eye patch. Fully matured and in his prime at 5 years old. His head is tremendous, being well balanced of good length and width with a good arc, smoothly filled right up and finished with a gentle turn down. Good ear and eye placement. He now has an incisor missing due to an injury I was told, but other than that his mouth is correct. He has a strong tapering neck leading into a good lay of shoulders, short back and is so well proportioned throughout. Straight front, neat feet and heavy bone. Deep chest, good spring of ribs with a shapely well rounded body and strong well muscled quarters. Moves fairly well but a little close behind. Nicely handled, the dog made the most of himself. So pleased to have had the opportunity of going over him again.
Runner up: Foster’s Ch Bilboen Great Dragon’s Spy – I have watched this dog from the ringside on quite a few occasions, seeing him mature and his progression to a well deserved Champion.
A top quality brindle and white dog with a lovely long filled head, classic profile and finish. Correct bite. Good length of neck and lay of shoulders and correct topline. Straight front, deep chest, well sprung ribs and strong quarters. A very good mover, who was parallel and covered the ground. His accomplished handler got the most out of him. Put forward for the Charlie Girl Cup for movement.
Also put forward for the Charlie Girl Cup Trophy was Patterson’s Ch. Golitha Generation X who also moved exceptionally well both coming and going and who I later discovered was Dragon’s Spy’s son.
Another that caught my eye was the very smart 20 month old brindle and white dog Parkington’s Olliebrad Some Might Say. Well filled head with good profile and finish. Correct mouth. Straight front, good bone, nicely balanced all through and moved true both ways. Went on to win the Regent Trophy and the Charlie Girl Cup.
ORMANDY JUG FOR BITCHESJudge: Eddie Ball (Firecommand)
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the Officers and Committee of The Bull Terrier Club for the kind invitation to judge this prestigious Trophy. I was honoured to accept.
My Co – Judge Mrs Teresa Westwood and I were in complete agreement and the final decisions were reached with ease. It was an absolute pleasure to judge alongside Teresa.
Overall, mouths were poor with few examples of fully correct dentition.
Movement, for the majority was poor and the winner and the runner-up both moved freely and with grace and again, Teresa and I agreed on our choices of these two for the ‘Charlie Girl Cup’ the Trophy for movement.
Winner: Ch. Bluepoint Kittiwake owned and bred by Miss D. Heath & Mr S. Morris.
Kittiwake excels in femininity; she has beautiful flowing lines and presents a picture of quality yet exceling in type which accentuates her beauty. She is a very well-balanced bitch.
Her head is long, turned and has fill, she has a wicked eye and correct ear placement which gives her lots of expression. Mouth is correct. Her neck is beautiful and flows into her shoulder, the shoulder placement is correct, and she has adequate length of upper arm and the return angle to the elbow is correct. She has a level top line and holds it when moving. Her front is straight, and she has tight feet, elbows are tight, short back and she has excellent rear angulation. Kittiwake moves parallel and with drive, she flexes well at the elbow which allows her reach.
She has a tendency to turn her foot out when standing lazily but she corrects it immediately she ‘switches on’, a dog with a construction fault cannot correct it.
Runner Up: Teirwgwyn Voodoo Doll owned by Mr & Mrs Dodd, bred by Mrs A. Roberts. Teirwgwyn Voodoo Doll came from 1st Reserve into the competition itself and excelled.
I really like her, a very well-balanced bitch, again, very elegant with flowing lines. She has a strong head which has depth, turn and fill. Neck flows into well placed shoulder, straight front, tight feet, good spring of rib, top line is level, she is a touch longer in the back than the winner, but she cannot be described as long in her back, I merely draw a comparison between the two. Her rear quarters are strong and well angulated. She moves parallel and with ease. Well handled.
Voodoo Doll has a slight mouth fault, and it was the difference today. It was that close. I have no doubt that she will go on to her title. Good Luck.
Judge: Teresa Westwood (Tulsadoom)
I would like to thank the Bull Terrier Club for giving me the honour of judging the Ormandy Jugs for Bitches at the prestigious Trophy Show. It was not only a pleasure to be presented with so many beautiful bitches but also fulfilling this duty with my co-judge Eddie Ball.
All bitches were shown in excellant condition and the owners should be proud of not only how they were presented but how they conducted themselves in the ring.
On the overall decisions there was very little discussion as we were both in complete agreement, not only on the Winner and Runner Up but that they both should be the exhibits that go forward for the Charlie Girl Cup for movement.
Winner: of the Ormandy Jug for Bitches Ch Bluepoint Kittiwake for me is a bitch who oozes breed type and quality. Not a big substantial bitch but everything in proportion and very neatly packaged. White with small eye patch, her head is well filled and turned. Small, well placed ears along with small eye give correct punishing expression, all topped off with correct scissor bite. Her front is straight with good round bone, adequate forechest and nice tight feet. Her good length of neck leads into well placed shoulders and short back. Rear quarters are well angulated and muscled which shows when she moves with drive. Holds her topline on the move and tail is carried correctly. Overall, very well balanced. Never stopped showing and is a credit to her handler/owner
Runner Up: Teirwgwyn Voodoo Doll is different in type to the winner. An upstanding, substantial bitch who is still very feminine. White with red ear, head has gentle profile with good width and depth all the way through the muzzle. Her expression is as it should be with correct ear placement and keen eye. She does have a slight mouth fault but canines are correct and for me could not detract from the overall picture. Good reach of neck into well placed shoulders. Deep brisket enhances the overall substance. Slightly long but holds everything together not only when stood but also when on the move. Drives with power from good rear and covers the ground with ease. Again, another bitch who shows from the moment she enters the ring.
SANDAWANA TROPHYJudge: Kerry King (Brasshead) Australia
Firstly I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge this prestigious event, I am extremely honoured to have been given this opportunity.
It was a pleasure to judge with co judge Phil Brodeur “Philgin” USA, we had a wonderful entry of coloured bull terriers.
Our winner of the dogs were between #18 CH Bilboen Great Dragon Spy and #22 Olliebrad Some Might say, two lovely brindles with our winner being the more mature, heavier boned boy CH Bilboen Great Dragon Spy with our Opposite of Sex Winner the very typey Ch Emred Devils Nighthawk of Kirkville.
Both coloured boys were sent through to the Charlie Girl Cup for Best Mover.
WINNER: CH Bilboen Great Dragons Spy
Strongly built brindle and white boy, he took my eye as soon as he entered the ring. He has a strong head with plenty of width and depth with a well turned head, scissor bite. Well balanced, Quality round bone right down to his catlike feet . Good lay of shoulder with plenty of prosternem. He has a level topline with well muscled hindquarters finished off with short well boned hocks. He moved well coming and going with plenty of drive.
RUNNER UP: CH Emred Devils Nighthawk at Kirkville
A typey feminine black brindle bitch, showed to perfection. She is well balanced front and rear, beautiful sweeping profile with good expression and scissor bite. Very shapely bitch, oozing quality, moved well.
JUDGE: PHIL BRODEUR (Philgin)
I would like to thank The Bull Terrier Club for inviting me to judge. Many thanks, also, to my co-judge Ms. Kerry King for making it such a fun and enjoyable experience. And finally, to all the exhibitors who make it happen. I had a great time!
WINNER: CH. Bilboen Great Dragon’s Spy
A brindle and white dog possessing full masculinity and presentation. He has a nice head with good fill, length and depth, one could wish for a tad more width at the end of the muzzle. . Good mouth. Pleasing expression that could be further enhanced with a more oblique eye placement. Could use a tad more length of neck and bone. Good front and shoulder leading to a firm topline. Short back. Good spring of rib. Well let down in the rear. Good movement both in front and rear to the point that we sent him on to the Charlie Girl Cup. He is at peak form and it was a pleasure to award him the Trophy.
RUNNER UP: CH. Emred Devil’s Nighthawk of Kirkville
A square but feminine, typy package. She has a pleasing head with good width and depth. Expression would be exemplary with a more varminty eye, but it is enhanced by good ear placement. Acceptable bone for her size. Nice length of neck. Short back with a slight dip in topline. Good spring of rib. Good rear. Moved well in rear, a tad restricted in front. Obviously off a recent litter, her typiness was rewarded. Lovely girl.
INTERNATIONAL TROPHYJudge: Geoff Skelton (Yashman)
The Bullterrier Club held its annual trophy show at the Royal Court Hotel where it was my honour to be asked to judge the International Trophy along with my co judge Mr Chris Wright. This was a great experience for me as Chris and I lived by each other and started our journey in the breed at the same time.
We had a great selection of quality dogs from across Europe to go over but we agreed on our winners.
Winner From Hungary: Attila Huse ‘ Rebelside I Feel Good’
White dog who as soon as he entered the ring took your eye with his great ring presence and type, a dog of animation and power. His head is filled with turn but not over done. Has a wicked eye and correct ear placement which gives a striking expression, mouth is ok. He has a powerful neck which leads into a staight front with good feet. Good spring of rib and has a short back, has a good bend of stifle and moved ok. I would have liked his elbows a little more tucked under him and a better tail set but even this doesn’t take away from such a quality dog.
Runner Up: Attila Huse ‘Rebelside Silver Rosie’
White girl as with the dog bounced into the ring and said look at me, a mix of animation and type, Her head is turned with fill, cracking eye and ear placement, piercing expression. Has excellant bone but remained feminine, Mouth is good. Front is straight with good feet. Good depth of chest with a short back, has a well angled rear an moved ok.
Would like her elbows to be tucked in and better tail set but as with the dog she carries this with ease.
On writing this critique I realized they are litter mates, they are such alike and an absolute credit to their breeder.
