It was an honour to be asked and a pleasure on the day to judge the Yorkshire Bull Terrier Club Championship show. The show was well organised and I must say a big thank you to my stewards. The judges lunches were great and I was made to feel very much at home. Overall I was pleased with the quality of my exhibits, in particular the bitches, however moving forward, I feel we must pay attention to mouth’s, especially canines (many were tight) and width of muzzle. I also feel breeders must focus on improving shoulders within their dogs, as there were few excellent examples in the show. To finish, I’d like to say a big thank you to all who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the show runs smoothly and exhibitors are well fed and watered, and a special thankyou to Andrea Hirst for the wonderful sketch I received as a judges gift, it brought a tear to my eye, so lifelike.
Puppy Dog Entries 2 Absentees 0
1st ZABAKROL TITUS AT ROMANOMAX (MR N & M LINDLEY)
White with black ear, pleasing head with a nicely turned profile just lacking a little width but still just a baby, mouth fault canine. Ears bang on top, well grown for his age with plenty of bone, lacks a little spring of rib and depth of brisket but should come with maturity, adequately turned hindquarters and moved well both ways when settled, tail set a little high.
2nd MAGNIFICENT HAWKEYE BY SHELBYBULLZ (MR B MAYNARD)
Black brindle dog, very typey but in the ring a little early, very nice head well turned with fill, Mouth correct. Lacking in spring of rib and depth of brisket and not the bone of one, but may come with maturity, tends to turn pasterns out a little, short back and good tailset, sound hindquarters, with a good turn of stifle, moved well both ways when settled.
Junior Dog Entries 2 Absentees 1
1st DEVARCA ANYTHING GOES (MRS & MR R & J SULLIVAN)
Brindle and white well marked, head has length, strength and depth and a little finish but could perhaps have more profile, ears set a little far apart which marred expression slightly, mouth correct but canines are tight. He has a gun barrel front and tidy feet for a big dog, good fore and rear angulation and firm topline, tail set fine but carried rather gayly, moved well just a tad close behind, co-operated well with his handler.

1st KENZDUO BLACK BEAN (MISS J THOMAS)
Black brindle dog, well marked and presented in excellent condition, handled very well. He has a very good head with an unbroken profile and enough width, depth and finish to balance. Good bite but 1 canine wrong. Front good when viewed from the front, from the side he tends to have a sloping pastern. Good spring of rib and depth of brisket into sound hindquarters with a good turn of stifle. Moved with drive just a tad close behind, fine in front.

1st DOFRO HAIL AND STORM (MR & MRS P & H LAMBERT)
Large white dog, head is long and turned with just enough strength to balance. Ears a little large and set a little low down which marred his expression slightly, Mouth-Canines tight, a few misplace incisors. Good fore and rear angulation, nice spring of rib and depth of brisket, firm topline and correct tail set. Moved well in front, lacked a little drive behind.
2nd CARAMEL LATTE (MISS E ROSE)
Red and white dog, didn’t like the show ring today and wasn’t co-operating with his handler. When asked to show me his mouth owner seemed a little hesitant and he showed some aggression when I approached him. Aside from this, he is a typey dog not a big one, head has strength and depth but lacked a little in profile, he has a good front, short back and sound hindquarters and he moved well in both directions.

1st BLUEPOINT SPARROWHAWK (MISS & MR D & S HEATH & MORRIS)
Substantial white, very well presented, nicely balanced with a very good head. Expression only marred by a rather bold eye. Mouth perfect. Very good front from any angle and tight feet, great bone and substance to balance, level topline and nice underline, tail set well. Well developed hindquarters with a good turn of stifle, moved well both ways and handled to perfection. DCC
2nd VETSBULLIES LIVING ON MY OWN (DRS O A & L C GALLA)
Very nice white, good head in profile and enough depth, strength and width to balance. Nice expression with a good eye, only marred by a predominantly pink nose. Mouth Correct. He is medium sized and has a good front and shapely body, sound hindquarters but just enough turn of stifle, moved fairly well but lacked a little drive. Showed and handled beautifully.

1st KENXTWEN LET'S GO (MISS A TOWNEND)
Red and white dog of medium size but beautifully balanced. Head has depth width and fill and is very good in profile. Mouth correct. Pleasing expression, eyes and ears are well placed. Good front with tight feet, good fore angulation and firm topline with a good depth of brisket and spring of rib. He has enough turn of stifle and well muscled hindquarters. On the move, he is difficult for his handler to get the best of as he tends to pace, however at the diagonal he moves fine in front and just a tad close behind. RDCC
2nd ARICON FIERY EYES AT CLANSMANN (MR & MISS K & A JOWERS)
White dog with a powerful head and excellent expression, plus a perfect mouth. Good front only marred by untidy feet. Shoulders, upper arm and rear quarter angulation near perfect, lovely tail set. Moved better going than coming as his untidy feet spoiled the picture slightly.

1st VENUS BACK FLASH AT BULLWIZZ (MR A LEIGH)
Brindle and white puppy bitch, nicely matured for her age, good head with lovely profile, depth and width of muzzle, mouth correct. Ears could have been more on top. Fore angulation could be improved with a better lay of shoulder, but nicely bodied up for her age. Her topline suffers a little on the move, but she has sound hindquarters with an adequate turn of stifle, moved well behind with drive. BP

1st BILBOEN RENAISSANCE (MR ADRIAN MOUNTAIN)
White with two black ears, she has a good head well filled and turned, could have done with a little more width of muzzle, when she perked up her ears were right on top but eye was a little bold. Mouth Correct. Gun Barrel front, but a little upright in shoulder however topline didn’t suffer too much. Tail set and carried a tad high however she has a good turn of stifle and moved better going than coming.
2nd JAVARKE GALADRIEL (MISS L M DAVISON)
Well marked black brindle and white in very good condition and handled very well. Her head is a little plain in profile and ear placement could have been better. Mouth correct. Front and shoulders are pleasing, turns pasterns out slightly on the move. Nicely bodied up for a tender age, good turn of stifle, moved well behind.

1st QUENTINHILL CHOCOLICIOUS (MS JOANNA SZEWCZYK)
Very attractive brindle and white bitch nicely balanced through and through, head and expression are very good without exaggeration, mouth tight but correct. Straight front, feet could be a little tighter. She has a decent lay of shoulder but would prefer more length in upper arm. This can be seen on the move, as she tends to paddle a little in front. She has a shapely body, deep and strong with rounded ribs and sound well muscled hindquarters, moved well behind.

1st ARICON EYE ECLIPSE CUM ABBAZ (MR M ARMITAGE)
A beautifully balanced white bitch. Excellent head with a good turn and full right up with good width of muzzle. Perfect bite. Expression is excellent with a keen eye and well placed ears. Excellent front when viewed from any angle, tight feet, good depth of brisket and spring of rib, excellent shoulders and topline, with well set and carried tail. Very good hindquarters with a good turn of stifle. When moved, she was good in front and rear but she can play the fool, makes it difficult for her handler. RBCC
2nd BLUEPOINT FLYE FOX (MISS & MR D & S HEATH & MORRIS)
Another very good bitch, very good profile to her head however would prefer more length in front of the eye, mouth tight but correct. Eye a little bold. Straight front, fore angulation could be a little better, however she held her topline on the move. Just enough turn of stifle, tail set a tad high, on the move she went a little close behind.

1st CLANSMANN WICKED DEEJAY (MR & MISS K & A JOWERS)
Nicely balanced white bitch excels in breed type. Excellent head and expression with a perfect bite, have rarely seen better when viewed from the front. Her front is perfectly straight from any angle with nice tight feet. But to nit pick, her shoulders could be a tad more laid back. Deep brisket, well sprung ribs, with a very firm solid topline and a lovely sweeping underline, toward sound well turned hindquarters and a well set and carried tail. Moves straight and true both ends. Was a pleasure to award her BCC BOB
2nd GORBAIN BARNESMORE WALTZING MATILDA (MR & MRS P J & E J SEWARDS)
Another pleasing white bitch with many virtues, she has a good head and correct mouth, a good front and shapely bodylines, sound hindquarters and a well set tail. She just needed a little more width, bone and substance for a bitch of this size. Moved with drive but a little close behind.
3rd VETSBULLIES KILLER QUEEN (DRS O A & L C GALLA)
Open Bitch Entries 4 Absentees 1
1st MEDUSAMYNE LOVELY JUBBLY PUMPKIN (MISS A HIRST)
Another top class bitch, in different company is well worthy of a CC. She has a good head without exaggeration, her mouth is tight but still correct, her ears could be a little more on top. She has a gun barrel front only marred slightly by her slack feet which could be seen on the move. She has reach and good shoulders, shapely flowing bodylines and sound well developed hindquarters. This showed in her movement, she is very good behind, one of the best today and she holds her topline firm. Another one I considered for the RCC.
2nd BARNESMORE ICE ANGEL GORBAIN (MISS & MR S E & R L THOMPSON & WOODWARD)
Typey white bitch, good head without a doubt. Mouth correct. Good front and feet, firm topline, just enough depth and tuck up into sound hindquarters. But throughout, I would prefer more spring of rib and bone and substance.

1st KIRKBY GLISTENING SNOW AT ADRELLBULZ (MISS L M DAVISON)
Substantial white girl, head is gently turned but a little weak in front of the eye. Canines tight but mouth still correct. Good front and tidy feet, deep brisket and well sprung ribs, sound hindquarters with enough turn of stifle, moved well behind. A credit to her owner/keeper, it seems both thoroughly enjoyed their day.
