Bull Terriers

PD (2)

1 Waycott’s Waybully Andromeda, 10 months white of quality, balanced head with smooth profile but could have a little more fill under the eyes. Perfect bite. Well boned, feet could be tighter, excellent balance of outline & already well ribbed. Excellent angulation fore & aft, firm level topline & in hard condition. Goes away true with drive, needs to tighten a little in front but has smooth ground covering profile action. Throws out a wonderful silhouette. BP;

2 Mitchell’s Beebeemi Grandmaster Flash, 8 months red in beautiful condition, very pleasing head, well filled with good down face & typical expression. Excellent mouth. Strong bone but a little weak in pastern & feet could be tighter. Very well proportioned body, nicely ribbed, not quite as settled in topline as 1 but moved very well behind though rather loose in front.

JD (2)

1 Jastrzebska’s Zappy Zack Timar, 15 months brindle with stallion qualities. Classical headpiece so smoothly contoured & well filled with typical expression. Dentition could be a little more perfect. Excellent development of forechest, enough bone, feet could be neater but really well ribbed with moderate angles front & back. In rock hard condition, he drove away true behind, covered the ground with scope & stride but can tighten in front & firm up in topline;

2 Emett’s Brookbully Avenger, 16 months white, more compact than 1 with quality head, wicked eye but again slightly imperfect dentition though the bite is acceptable. Solid body, not the angulation of 1 in front or behind which reflected in his movement that was rather lacking in stride & scope. Like 1 very well muscled & he too can tighten in front.

GD (2)

1 Sheppard & Howes’ Polanca Powerslave, masculine brindle with pleasing head having good sweep & fill, expressive eye & perfect bite. Powerful bone, quite good feet, well balanced outline, firm topline but could have a little more rear angulation. Goes a little close behind & wide in front but has a nicely coordinated profile that opens up well though he carries his tail rather high;

2 Karta-Williams & Williams’ Keep The Faith Of The Four Horsemen at Karmara, white of pleasing overall type, strong head which could be a little drier & he has a typical eye & correct bite. Strong bone but feet rather broken down, well ribbed, needs more angulation front & back & tends to break in topline. Could be truer up & down & didn’t have the scope of 1 in profile.

PGD (4)

1 Pickering’s Urbanbully Lockdown, white yearling of quality, decent head that could still have a little more finish of foreface, perfect bite, clean powerful neck, good angulation fore & aft but needs to develop in second thigh. Well filled forechest, reasonable feet, nicely ribbed with firm backline but tail a fraction low set. Moves true behind, a little wide in front but has a very smooth & easy way of going in profile. Outgoing but sensible character well handled & schooled. Liked him sufficiently to award him the RCC;

2 Moore’s Charming King, fully mature brindle, not the biggest but so well balanced. Very much on his toes but still well controlled. A little plainer in head than 1 with weaker foreface & less fill but his bite is perfect. Good bone & feet, optimum angles fore & aft with solid topline & well sprung ribs. Movement up & down leaves little to be improved;

3 Heard’s Shacadia’s Black Mamba at Louwab.

LD (2)

1 Dyson’s Gorbain Hellraiser Tawnbarr, light brindle of excellent overall type & shape, well balanced outline, alert & confident. Very pleasing head with excellent ear placement & carriage, good enough sweep & fill & perfect bite. Strong bone but poor feet which are not helped by long nails, good neck & topline, very well ribbed, moderate angulation throughout & his tail never stops. Free & easy roomy profile movement, goes away adequately but disappointingly wide in front;

2 Pullen’s Louka Gone Racin, tri in excellent condition, head profile pleases but could have a more typically shaped eye & better fill though he has an excellent mouth. Well boned, much better feet than 1 but he too could benefit from a manicure. Well ribbed, could have a little more angulation front & back, moves adequately behind but rather wide in front.

OD (3)

1 Sineri’s Ch Cosmopolitan Space Oddity Moonflower, powerful white with lots of attitude & character but well controlled. Balanced smoothly contoured head with perfect bite & very striking profile. Well filled front, quality bone, good enough feet, well ribbed & coupled with firm topline & plenty of rear angulation. Goes away true, comes on a little wide but he really powers around using his well muscled hindquarters to advantage. In gleaming condition. CC & BOB;

2 Mathison’s Ch Blazinbullys Dark Knight, tri who at first glance looked like he could well be the winner as when he posed he looked like a piece of porcelain. Excellent head type, mean eye, perfect bite, beautifully balanced outline with substance yet quality. Well boned, not the feet of 1 & he moved much wider in front, though he held himself very well on the go around;

3 Westwood’s Broken Arrows Peaky Blinder at Tulsadoom.

PB (3)

1 Morris & Heath’s Bluepoint Kittyhawk, 10 months white full of quality but also full of mischief, which always appeals to me in puppies. Medium size with classy head, typical yet feminine with wicked eye & perfect bite though she could have a little more finish of foreface. Already well filled forechest, quality bone, decent feet, very clean outline with strong yet elegant neck, superb angulation front & back & she is well ribbed. Could be a little truer up & down but in profile she looked a picture – when she actually settled. Tail carriage a little high;

2 Waycott’s Waybully Bliss, r/w also 10 months & a good basic type but not the intense quality of 1. Quite pleasing head with typical profile, ample bone, feet rather open, nicely ribbed & beautifully conditioned. Not quite the rear angulation of 1 & moves better behind than in front;

3 Turner’s Bluepoint Night Owl of Saintbull.

JB (2)

1 Williams & Hawksford’s Javarke Scarlet Moon over Busell, 16 months r/w in spanking condition, lots of substance but she still has a feminine quality. Beautiful head with well placed ears, smoothly contoured profile, good sweep & fill & perfect bite. Strong bone, feet rather open, great spring of rib, firm backline, optimum angles front & back. Drives well behind, rather wide in front but has very impressive profile. Has so much type & quality. In the challenge she filled my eye more than any other bitch so won the CC at what was amazingly her first show;

2 Wannop’s Charishalee Mirror Image, 15 months white, smaller framed bitch than 1 & carrying too much weight throws her out of balance. Very appealing head type, perfect bite, well filled front, strong bone but very poor feet. Basic construction & angulation are impressive, she is well ribbed with a firm level topline, moves reasonably going away but worryingly wide in front.

GB (1)

1 Hickman’s Quentinhill Hell’s Spell for Bullambi, white of excellent type, could have a slightly better defined arc in profile but pleases in eye, is quite well filled & has a perfect bite. Very well filled front, smooth bone, slightly open feet, well proportioned body but needs more angulation front & back. Moves away dead true, a little generous coming on.

PGB (2)

1 Woodward’s Gorbain Diamond Diva, substantial white of excellent type all through but could carry a little less weight to advantage & her coat could have been in better nick. Grand head & expression with masses of fill & impressive profile. Decent bite if dentition could be tidier. Quality bone, feet could be tighter, great rib, moderate angles front & back. Moves better behind than in front;

2 Mills’ Miinroc Envy Me, lighter framed red of quality & in beautiful condition. Feminine head but preferred the ears & fill of 1. Balanced outline, well filled front, quite good feet, goes well behind but rather generously in front. Looks the part going around.

LB (2)

1 Jastrzebska’s Wonderful Wanda Timar, well conditioned white who has lots of type & plenty of quality. Head profile pleases in its earset & down face but she could be cleaner lipped. Almost perfect dentition, clean powerful neck, quality bone & some of the best feet I saw all day. Correctly balanced outline, big ribs, optimum angulation & a respectable mover up & down with very free & open profile. RCC;

2 Bloom’s Abenaki Romantic Destiny, more bully than 1 but this white didn’t please as much in head & expression. Ears could be better, excellent bite, well ribbed & boned but rather open feet, good angulation front & back, not quite as steady moving as 1.

OB (5)

Very difficult class which boiled down to a battle between two quite different whites.

1 Hicks’ Bullyon Love Unmeasured for Crisalia, substantial white with lots of type about her. Basically good head type but profile could be more classical, correct bite, powerful neck, strong bone, feet could be better, well sprung ribs, correctly angulated front & back. Moved well around but rather wide in front;

2 Newberry’s Ukusa Metamorphosis, younger & more elegant for want of a better word. Beautiful head with glorious down face, wicked eye, good bite & the cleanest of well arched necks. Nose not fully pigmented. Excellent bone & feet, construction is essentially first class with fabulous angulation but her lack of maturity shows when she strings out & breaks in topline on the move. At 18 months still has the potential to develop into something quite special;

3 McCann’s Ukusa Vegas at Diton.
