West of England Bull Terrier Club Shows have always been on the list of my favourite shows, so I was delighted when the Club committee offered me a judging appointment. The atmosphere at the show was truly amazing and I'd like to thank all the exhibitors and spectators for such a wonderful turn out! Big thank you goes to the hard working committee and my ring steward Emma Pullen. Classes were very numerous for nowadays dog shows and the quality was very high, with many classes where a few pushed hard for the 1st! Sometimes only the tiny details were the deciding factors. I was very pleased to be able to go over so many fantastic dogs and extremely pleased with my beautiful winners.
I have been taught by the most experienced breeders and most reputable judges that the type is what's the most important in a Bull Terrier thus without the type we have nothing. Both my winners Best Bitch and Best Male were screaming type and quality and looking at them there was an obvious dimorphism typical for our breed (easy to distinguish a male and a female). It's a great pity that I didn't have a prize for Best Mover as my Reserve Best Dog would have gotten this. There is no a perfect specimen, that makes breeding and judging so exciting and so difficult too. I judged for virtues and I kept in my mind all I have been told by my mentors. I was delighted that Mary Bennett and I were in a complete agreement when awarding the main titles: BIS, reserve BIS, BOS and Best Puppy In Show. Everybody who made their presence at this show, made it an unforgettable experience for me. Thank you.

2nd CIGANO DEEP COURAGE (MR A KEOGH)
7 months old, pleasant puppy, less matured and smaller size then 1st, with a gently curved profile, but not as good fill as 1st, eyes and ears ok, perfect mouth, needs some ring training as very unsettled which surely will improve with age. Good make and shape however I'd prefer better top line. Lovely cat like feet. In a very good condition, nice temperament just needs to settle and mature.

1st BILBOEN FINAL CONFLICT (MISS & MR S & M FOSTER & BICKER)
14 months old, beautifully marked brindle and white male. Lovely head profile and fill, eyes very nice, ears could be set a bit better. Bite level and perfectly placed canines. Very typy, with lovely body make and shape and good bone, just needs to mature. Clean neck into good shoulders, top line and hindquarters very nice, correct bent of stifle. Really loved that boy. Good job he is such a quality specimen, that let him win the class, however his lack of ring manners and impossibility to assess him in movement cost him a title in the final line up. Can't wait to see him fully mature and settled. One to watch.

Beautiful red and white, a year old, stronger then 1, well developed for his age. Very masculine. Lovely, powerful, well filled and curved head, I'd prefer a bit better shoulders.

Good neck into well laid shoulders, very nice top line held well in movement, good hindquarters and most wonderful cat like feet. Lovely wide front and lots of bone. A proper male, very powerful. To be critical he could be a touch taller on legs. This dog amazed me with his exceptional front and back movement, so rare to see! Very well handled and presented. He could have had a better profile; yes, however his great virtues outweigh his lacks. His masculinity, make and shape and the best movement at the show led him to his title RBD

2 years old white male of a very good make and shape. I loved watching him working with his handler. What a great team. Handler awarded "Best Handler" title. Congratulations. His head has nice, gentle curve and enough fill, ears bang on top and nice eyes giving lovely expression. Mouth fault. Very well made throughout, but lighter in bone and not that masculine as the winner. Good front and back movement. Correct top line and tail set. Flowing outlines and he is a picture when standing. Quality boy who has a lot to offer. Very good ring presence, handled expertly and presented in a very good form.

This probably was the hardest class to judge. Both bitches of some obvious virtues and obvious faults but completely different in type. I decided to go for a better general type, bone and better head.

Powerful, over two years old, tricolour bitch with a strong, beautiful, well filled and deep head. Lovely turn of head in profile, correct shape and placement of the ears. Unfortunately undershot. I'd prefer her to be a bit taller on legs and shorter in back, falling top line. Presented in perfect condition, gleaming coat. Focused on her owner and showed very well. Her head and general type made her winner in this class.
2nd DOODLE BEAR PATCH (MISS R KLAMMER)
3½ year old white girl, that shows very well. Wonderful coat condition. Head is sweeping gently, needs more fill. Decent expression, nice neat ears that she uses all the time. Lovely straight front however quite narrow, most amazing cat like feet, probably best I have seen at the show. General make and shape very good but I'd put a few pounds more on her. Movement OK. Needs to fill up.

2nd DOODLE BEAR PATCH (MISS R KLAMMER)
3½ year old white girl, that shows very well. Wonderful coat condition. Head is sweeping gently, needs more fill. Decent expression, nice neat ears that she uses all the time. Lovely straight front however quite narrow, most amazing cat like feet, probably best I have seen at the show. General make and shape very good but I'd put a few pounds more on her. Movement OK. Needs to fill up.

1st UKUSA JEZEBEL TO NEVERLAND (MRS D Y GODSALL)
2½ year old, brindle and white mature, upstanding bitch of a big size. Lovely markings on her. Very nice head, well turned filled and of a good depth. Perfect mouth. One of the best construction at this show. She has a wonderful neck into clean, lovely shoulders, very good topline which she holds well in movement, great bent of stifle, lovely front and feet. Perfect condition and handled expertly. Very correct throughout. Congratulations.
2nd CRISALIA STORMAGEDDON (MR & MRS C & L HICKS)
White, just over two years old. I was amazed how similar she was to the other bitch presented by the same handler before. It turned out they are half sisters. A great brood bitch that produced them two daughters. Another amazing, deep and great filled head with a superb turn. First class expression. Ears and eyes very correct. Powerful, typy bitch with good body lines and very good make and shape. Another beauty whose mouth lets her down. Lovely bone. Feet could be tidier. Nicely handled and presented. Well prepared for showing in the ring.
3rd KENTREDECIMSTARLIGHT ECHO FOR AFANBULL (MR J W SHEEHY)
Not big, lovely, red and white, over 3 years old bitch. Beautiful feminine appearance. It was not an easy decision in this class! She has a very good head in profile and 'en face' and superb expression. Mouth unfortunately off. Good, typy body. Very smart markings, handled and presented well. Bitch of many virtues.

1st BRIDENS SUMMER BREEZE (MR & MRS B & D SMALLEY)
Over 4 years old, white with eye patches. Best show temperament. Would do anything for her handler. Her head is superb packed and turned and she has expression to die for. Loved them small ears. Unfortunately mouth fault. Very shapely quality body in outlines, short backed. Well put together and balanced throughout, I liked her conformation. Top line and tail OK. Good movement. Very well handled. Little pretty girl, a pleasure to watch.
2nd UKUSA RHAPSODY FOR WAYBULLY schm (MR & MRS K & V WAYCOTT)
Very well made, 5 year old white bitch. Head has a gentle nice curve but lacks the power of the 1st. She has a very good make and shape, shoulders placement ok, level top line, tail carried high. Good bent of stifle and nice cat like feet. Presented in a spot on condition. Expertly handled. A very nice, well trained, showy bitch. She knows what to do in the ring, a pleasure to judge.
