Such a shame that entry numbers continue to disappoint. Will we ever see a return to the 100 plus Bull Terriers that were once commonplace? This is the smallest entry that I have ever judged at a Championship Show, but considering the low numbers I felt the quality was exceptionally high. It’s often said that you only need 2 good ones, well I had many good ones here today with a large number perfectly capable of winning CC’s on another day. Very few dogs had in standing canines which seems to suggest we are moving in the right direction, however a few were quite tight against the gum and whilst I didn’t feel the need to penalise any for this, it’s something that should continue to be watched.

1st RAGNAROK BALDER AT POLANCA (MISS & MR L & T SHEPPARD & HOWES)
Very typy red and white dog, super head, filled up and turned right over. Well placed ears and good eye, deep forechest, short compact body, and well angulated hindquarters. Straight front and good bone. Short deep body. His mouth is undershot, and he moves a bit close both ways but it is difficult to imagine how this dog did not receive his crown during his heyday as he is a dog of truly great virtue;
2nd MARSHELSEA TROUBLE COMING AT ROMAGNA (MRS & MRS M & Y MORGANS)
Quality upstanding white dog, very shapely with a decent head. Mouth just off. Beautiful flowing neck and good lay of shoulder. Firm topline. Straight front with well tucked in elbows, good round bone and nice feet. Excellent well angulated hindquarters. Great showman who showed himself off to best advantage. Not quite the head or type of the winner but a quality act throughout

1st EMRED DEVILS TRI STAR (MR & MRS R & D LAMONBY)
Super masculine white dog with a tri eye patch who took my eye the moment he entered the ring. Power type and substance were all present in abundance. Stunning head, deep, wide and filled up with the maximum profile. Perfect mouth. Great expression with really well placed ears and a good eye. Tremendous bone. Deep barrel ribcage with a deep brisket and great depth of forechest. Ultra short back and compact body, but fails a little in topline. Good wide powerful and well angulated hindquarters. Moved well enough both ways. A top class stallion of a dog. He needs to tighten in front and mature mentally as at just 16 months old he clearly has his mind elsewhere and gave his handler a difficult time. If he gets his act together and pulls himself together he is destined for the very top.DCC BOB

1st CRISALIA BIG POPPA (MR & MRS P & C BUSSON)
Quality upstanding white dog. Strong head, deep and wide, just lacking a shade in fill. Good round bone. Excellent make and shape, he has excellent bodylines, a long arched necked, good front and rear angulation a firm topline and is completely balanced and sound. Unsurprisingly he moved extremely well both ways, drove out with long strides and was completely parallel. Pressed hard for the top awards, but I just preferred the head, expression and tighter front of my RCC winner.

1st POLANCA POWERSLAVE (MISS & MR L & T SHEPPARD & HOWES)
Big and powerful well marked brindle dog with lots to like. Super egg shaped head, filled up and turned over. Substantial body, deep and strong. Correct bite. His front is straight if a little narrow, and he has a firm topline but is a little ling in long. Strode out well on the move, taking big strides he covered the ground really well. Impressive dog that was well trained and presented in excellent hard condition
2nd WAYBULLY ANDROMEDA SHCM (MR & MRS K & V WAYCOTT)
Very well made dog of excellent make and shape. Very good straight front with good quality bone and tight feet. Strong head with a smooth profile, and a good underjaw, just lacking a little in width. Very shapely bodylines, a little light in body. Very sound and strode out well on the move. Showed and handled well.

1st BROOKBULLY AVENGER (MR J EMETT)
A quality white dog that I have admired from the ringside and so it was good to finally get my hands on him. He has a smooth, egg shaped head, with a gentle unbroken profile. Tiny well placed eye giving him a dynamite expression. Correct bite but canines a little tight. Excellent straight front, with good round bone. Good shoulder angulation, he has a beautiful, well arched neck and a well-placed shoulder. Well balanced bodylines with correct proportions. Short back. A top quality dog that at just over 2 years of age is just coming into his prime. I would like to see a little more bend of stifle, but he drove well enough from behind and was parallel in front. Certainly a dog of Champion quality RDCC
2nd INDELIBULL INKREADIBLE (MR A FLETCHER)
dark tri dog of excellent make and shape. Very good head with an excellent profile. Outstanding straight front with really tight cat feet. Good layback of shoulder and a firm topline. Really well made and well balanced throughout. A darker eye and heavier bone would complete the picture but nevertheless a quality dog that is very competitive.

1st RAGNAROK BACK IN BLACK FROM POLANCA (MISS & MR L & T SHEPPARD & HOWES)
Very impressive black brindle and white puppy. Super head, completely filled up and turned over. Well angulated in front with great depth of forechest, and well laid back shoulder. Nice straight front. Very good well bent stifles, a shade long in back and moved a little close behind. One with a very bright future BP

1st STAR VENTURE AT RIGHTSTUFF (MR & MRS C J & J WRIGHT)
Very pretty and feminine black brindle and white bitch. High quality throughout. Super head, completely egg shaped. Correct bite but with one tight canine. Well-made throughout with a straight front well shaped body and well bent stifles. Rather immature and needs to body up. Seemed a bit overawed by proceedings but gained confidence as time went on
2nd BARBARIAN GIRL MITHGARD AT DENERIAN (IMP SVK) (MR & MISS P & A RAKOCY & STACHOWSKA)
Tall and statuesque, with plenty of substance. Head of good length and depth. Very shapely with good bodylines. Good straight front but a little light in bone. Good neck and shoulder. Would benefit from having her tail trimmed. Moved soundly. More substantial and mature than the class winner but not the overall quality

1st TULSADOOM FORTY ELEPHANTS (MR & MRS D & T WESTWOOD)
Substantial and typy bitch with lots of virtue. Filled up head with a good down face. Ears could be better placed. Very good heavy bone. Good depth of forechest. Compact body, deep and strong with a short back and wide muscular quarters. Rather loose in front and needs to learn a bit of decorum in the ring
Limit Bitch Entries 6 Absentees 0
Very tight class, difficult to separate some of the minor placings.
1st UKUSA JEZEBEL TO NEVERLAND (MRS D Y GODSALL)
Tall statuesque and substantial brindle bitch. Great depth of brisket and well angulated shoulder. Strong head of good length with a smooth gentle profile. Perfect mouth. Excellent straight front with good bone. Beautifully made throughout with a long, well arched neck and a firm topline. Excellent wide and powerful hindquarters. Her movement is exceptional, big easy strides, the typical jaunty air, and completely parallel both ways, a real joy to watch. Perhaps not as square or as typy as I would like but she is so sound and correctly made, I felt she just could not be denied the CC BCC
2nd ROMAGNA DRAMA QUEEN (MRS & MRS Y A & F MORGANS & WILSON)
Shapely and compact brindle bitch. Beautiful head completely egg shaped. Very well made with a lovely neck. Good front and feet. Very well balanced bodylines. Moved freely. Not quite the substance of the winner and I would like to see her carrying a couple more pounds but she was beautifully handled and looked an absolute picture;
3rd RAGNAROK HOSTEN (MR & MRS M & A TAYLOR)
Sound and typy red and white bitch. Excellent head, correct bite but with a tight canine. Very good front assembly with a good neck and layback of shoulder. Nice round bone. Good topline but with a rather high tail set. Shapely hindquarters. Moved soundly but just a little close behind

1st ABENAKI ROMANTIC DESTINY (MRS H BLOOM)
Lovely typy and square white bitch of the highest quality. Egg shaped head with very good ears and well placed eye. Lovely neck and shoulder. Decent front with nice round bone. Compact deep body, and a lovely short back. Correct topline with just the right amount of roach. Pressed hard for the CC, but I felt she was carrying just a couple of pounds too much which spoilt her underline somewhat and whilst her movement was OK she could not match the ticket winner in this respect. I am sure her day will come RBCC
2nd UNIONBUL'S DIAMOND FLAME (MR S COVERDALE)
Another quality bitch that is full of type. Strong, well filled head, good triangular eye and good ear set. Elbows well tucked in. Excellent reach of neck. Good firm topline which she held well on the move. A little over angulated in the rear but nevertheless a first class bitch of excellent merit.
