AUSTRALIAN DRIFFIELD 14 Judge: Mrs Zena Thorn Andrews BEST OF BREED : 3652 SEATON Mrs J M Grand Ch Temora Ri Diercc (Imp USA) AUSTRALIAN JUDGE DRIFFIELD 14 Australian Terriers MPD (0). PD (1) 1 BP, McCourt, Eardley & O’Reilly’s Silhill Red Crackle, good head shape, lengthy muzzle & uses his neat ears well. Beautifully muscled for a puppy & this shows in his powerful movement. Good harsh coat, well bodied & nicely ribbed back. Fairly well angulated front & rear. Very promising indeed. Wish his tail was straighter but it is set well. JD, YD, PGD & LD (0). OD (4) 1 CC & BOB, Seaton’s Grand Ch Temora Ri Deircc, a very handsome dog. He is a little too big & maybe ears could be smaller but I loved his head & expressive eyes. Good neck, super body & quarters, steady topline, good legs & feet, beautifully turned out with hard coat with ruff & apron, super mover all round; 2 RCC, Jones’ Silhill Private Collection at Wyeafon, nicely proportioned & good height to length. Not quite the undercoat of 1 on the day but also admired his head & ears. OK in front, well bodied & certainly powerful in rear; 3 McCourt & Eardley’s Wilfnbell Red Fanatic at Sherex. GCD (0). MPB (0). PB (1) 1 RCC, Jones’ Wyeafon Czarina, ‘whizzy’ little bitch, full of herself, promising for skull & foreface strength, reasonable front. Just a little short in upper arm. Nicely bodied & well ribbed for age, good quarters & sound & free moving. Very in between puppy & adult coat on the day. Very attractive temperament & personality. JB (2,1a) 1 Skelton & Stoddart’s Millvalley Blue Persimmon, another bouncy youngster, full of life. Good head shape & eye position. Enough neck, reasonable front. A little low at the withers. Good topline & powerful rear, OK in bone. Feet can still tighten a touch more. Moved well if a little bouncy. YB & PGB (0). LB (1) 1 Stoddart’s Millvalley Prima Donna, a bit jerky moving & could be a lot smoother on the move. Pleasing head, good strong jaws, needs more forechest & upper arm slope, good coat, ruff & apron, enough bend of stifle & nicely fit to go over. OB (2) 1 CC, O’Reilly’s Silhill Royal Blue, good size & proportions. A little weak in foreface. Backskull length & width OK, lovely front, bone & super tight compact feet. OK in body & level hard backline. Good quarters. Would like her back coat to be less jet black but she has blue on neck & over stilfles. Excellent mover; 2 Foskett, Tyrrell & Freer’s Silhill Stelata, strong foreface but eyes a little too round. Reasonable front. Lacks a little upper arm slope. Great body & better ribbing than 1. Moving very wide going away. Super coat colour & presentation. GCB (0). ZENA THORN-ANDREWS |
