AUSTRALIAN JUDGE BIRMINGHAM NATIONAL 16

Australian Terriers

My thanks to the society for inviting me to judge the breed for the first time with CCs, also the exhibitors for a lovely entry.

PD (0).

JD (1)

1 Skelton’s Spritewinter Ooh Ah Henry, pleasing in head with keen expression, correct shoulder placement, forelegs well boned & straight, nice in body with ribs well sprung, level topline to well set & carried tail, strong hindquarters, moved out well.

PGD (0).

LD (2)

1 Willmett’s Wilfnbell Mindnight Cowboy, liked his head, ears well set, dark eyes, good length of neck with slight arch, good in front & rear angulation, in good coat & well presented, moved really well & deserved the RCC;

2 McCourt, Eardley & O’Reilly’s Silhill Barney Rubble, another promising one, liked his shape, muzzle strong with correct dentition, nicely bodied, another well presented, just preferred overall performance of 1 but another day?

OD (2)

1 McCourt, Eardley & O’Reilly’s Silhill Red Crackle, outstanding dog, liked everything about him, head, expression, ears well set & used, good front & rear angulation, well bodied with well sprung ribs, level topline which he kept on the move, never stop showing, well presented, pleased to give him the CC & watch him get G2;

2 Tams’ Ch Temora’s Rhapsody In Blue, not moving as well as 1 but still pleasing to go over, eye shape & colour correct, strong jaw with good dentition, good bone & muscle & feet, another well presented.

VD (0).

PB (2)

1 Jones’ Lesnoy,s Miss Money Penny at Wyeaton, 9 months & very promising, so outgoing, used her well set ears to her advantage, nice clear dark eyes, boding up nicely, coat coming good, happy on the move. BP;

2 Bath’s Amberrush Its Magic over Gingerwych, not so outgoing as 1, just needs to gain her confidence, nice shape & size for age. I am sure with a few more shows she will improve.

JB (1)

1 McCourt’s Silhill Pop Goes The Weasle, another outgoing bitch, she has a lovely head & expression, good in front & rear movement & body shape, well presented, moved so well round the ring, I am sure she will make it to the top.

PGB (0).

1 Jones’ Wilfnbell Girl On Fire via Wyeaton, balanced head, shoulders well laid, straight front legs, ribs well sprung, level topline, strong in loin, well made hindquarters, in correct coat, moving well both ways;

2 Foskett, Tyrrell & Freer’s Wilfnbell Red G’day Sheela, liked her shape & size, typical head & expression, well bodied, good topline & tail carriage which she kept on the move, correct double coat & presentation, pleasing on the move.

OB (2)

1 Foskett, Tyrrell & Freer’s Ch Silhill Stelata, a well presented & balanced bitch, correct eye shape & colour, strong jaw, good teeth, ears well set, arched neck into well laid shoulders, well bodied with level topline to well set & carried tail, strong well made hindquarters giving her the drive to move true both ways, deserved the CC;

2 Skelton’s Ch Millvalley Blue Persimmon, another one I liked, good all round for shape & size, bone, muscle, coat & movement, showed well. RCC.
