ENGLISH BULL BOURNEMOUTH 25 Judge: Mr M Presland ENGLISH BULL BOURNEMOUTH 25 I would like to thank the officers and committee of Bournemouth Canine Association, for giving me the opportunity to judge a breed I was brought up with as a child. Thanks also to the exhibitors many of whom had travelled a long way to show under me and giving me a quality entry. There were some very difficult classes which I’m sure on another day and another judge my placings would change! I was looking first and foremost for an upstanding dog with a nice mix of bull and terrier, not coarse in any way and a dog with attitude which all my top winners had in spades! Movement on the whole was excellent though mouths are still a problem I was conscious of the KC directive towards in standing canines! JD (1) 1 Foster’s Buster Hill Bilboen, White with black eye patch, His head is well filled with a good profile and an ok mouth and good eye shape. He has good bone, straight front down to tidy feet and a good backend. Moved ok coming and going once settled. One to watch. PGD (2) 1 Bunce & Holkham’s Rougebull Fragile Silence At Dougherty, R/W with with a powerful head with turn & fill, good mouth & ears on top which he used well, good strong neck & shoulder with correct topline & good tailset, moved & handled well. Unfortunate to meet my CC winner! RDCC LD (4) 1 Beckinsale’s Teirwgwyn Fully Loaded At Cywbullys White with an OK profile well filled, well set ears which he used well, mouth ok .
