I would like to thank the committee of Yorkshire Bull Terrier Club for inviting me to judge at their March Championship Show. The hospitality and organisation were exemplary. A big thank you must go to the exhibitors for allowing me the privilege of going over their exhibits. A special mention must go to my ring stewards, who ensured everything ran smoothly. As always at this club, a warm and friendly atmosphere was present throughout the day and the entry and turnout was superb. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of judging this show, my first-time awarding Challenge Certificates, so thank you all for the honour and the opportunity.

1st OLLIEBRAD SOME MIGHT SAY (MR D PARKINGTON)
21-month-old well marked brindle and white dog. Super show dog always on his toes and never stops showing, absolutely commands your attention from the moment he enters the ring. Very well balanced throughout. He has one of those heads you must get up close to, to fully appreciate the fill, width and depth he has, all with a sweeping profile to boot. Neat well set ears, although I would prefer a keener eye. Correct mouth, long arched neck leading to a straight front and tight feet. Deep in brisket, short in back, with a good top-line and well angulated rear quarters. Moved reasonably well in front a little closer behind, but still with a jaunty air. His many virtues and breed type were not to be denied. Both he and his handler have a great understanding and they have formed a super partnership together. It was a pleasure to award him the CC from some very strong opposition. DCC

Small oblique eye and neat well- placed ears deliver a wicked expression. Correct mouth, strong muscled neck, good lay of shoulder and super round bone. Ample fore-chest and depth of brisket, elbows well tucked in and tidy cat like feet. Short coupled with strong rear quarters with good angulation and correct tail-set. Moved well in front just a tad close behind, but with drive. Lost his spark a little in the line-up, but pushed the CC winner all the way, a close call between the two. Surely a champion in waiting.

2nd CH SELBULLIE DARK SIDE OF BLAZINBULLYS (MR & MRS S & R MATHISON)
3½-year-old, a very typey masculine well-balanced brindle and white dog. Powerful sweeping profile to head with plenty of fill, width and depth. Punishing expression with small oblique eye, with ears bang on top. Strong neck leading to a deep chest and well sprung rib, ample round bone with neat tidy feet.

3rd BEAST ODI ET AMO (ATCAX00692POL) (MS A E BARTKOWIAK)
Almost 3-year-old white dog with brindle ears. I cannot let the opportunity go by without a mention for this boy. Another very good dog with the correct balance of type and quality. He has a lovely strong head, with depth, which is totally filled, not a dent or blemish to be seen, another rugby ball of a head, with a good profile. Well placed ears and tiny oblique eye giving him the most wicked of expressions. Excellent straight front, with good round bone and cat like feet. Good, well arched neck and a well-placed shoulder. Correct body lines, a very typey well balanced dog. However, he has his own ideas on showing, which unfortunately makes him rather unruly in the ring. He plays his handler up constantly. Movement cannot be assessed because of his antics and he rules himself out of any higher accolades. If only his handler, or anyone for that matter, could find the key to controlling his bad behaviour, he would surely fly.

Beautiful 15½-month-old white bitch with black brindle ear, extrudes breed type. What can I say, my find of the day, for me this young bitch ticked all the boxes! Strong head that has profile, width, depth and fill. Her ears are bang on top, batman like. A dark tiny oblique eye gives her a first class varmity expression, all with a perfect mouth. A strong yet feminine neck leads into a very good front and correct lay of shoulder, she has ample bone for her type and her feet are cat like. Good spring of rib with a deep brisket and nice tuck up. Short backed with a correct top-line. Her rear-quarters are well angulated and developed. She moved well both ways as you would expect from her super construction. She can, on occasion, be rather reluctant to use her ears, but that did not detract from the very many virtues she undoubtedly has. When her attention is grabbed and she uses her ears, she is the perfect balance of type, quality and soundness, indeed, a picture to behold. Handler just needs to find the key to her using her ears more. I was more than happy to award her BCC BIS

1st RAGNAROK BALDER AT POLANCA (MISS & MR L & T SHEPPARD & HOWES)
Super masculine red and white gent, just short of 12 years old, with only his greying whiskers giving his age away. Still commands the ring like the true professional he is. Never took his eye off his handler. A very well-balanced dog, who extrudes breed type. Good head with enough width, depth and fill with a gentle sweeping profile, good eye and ear placement, strong neck leading to a good lay of shoulder, ramrod front with tidy feet. A good top line with strong rear quarters. His movement still, is a pleasure to behold. He strides out with drive and purpose; the youngsters should take note. His mouth is his Achilles heel, none the less, a quality well balanced typey dog who really enjoyed his day. Beautifully presented and well handled, a credit to his owners.

1st CLANSMANN WICKED UPRISER (MR & MISS K & A JOWERS)
Beautiful 15½-month-old white bitch with black brindle ear, extrudes breed type. What can I say, my find of the day, for me this young bitch ticked all the boxes! Strong head that has profile, width, depth and fill. Her ears are bang on top, batman like. A dark tiny oblique eye gives her a first class varmity expression, all with a perfect mouth. A strong yet feminine neck leads into a very good front and correct lay of shoulder, she has ample bone for her type and her feet are cat like. Good spring of rib with a deep brisket and nice tuck up. Short backed with a correct top-line. Her rear-quarters are well angulated and developed. She moved well both ways as you would expect from her super construction. She can, on occasion, be rather reluctant to use her ears, but that did not detract from the very many virtues she undoubtedly has. When her attention is grabbed and she uses her ears, she is the perfect balance of type, quality and soundness, indeed, a picture to behold. Handler just needs to find the key to her using her ears more. I was more than happy to award her BCC BIS
