Bull Terriers

Some wonderful quality dogs & sadly, some very poor ones too. Mouths are slightly worse than when I judged in this venue less than two years ago, & movements do not improve.

On the bright side temperaments were generally excellent. The handlers were sporting, but many wanted to show in the corner of the ring & had to be persuaded into the centre – exhibitors, please remember that all of the spectators deserve a good view.

PD (2)

1 Westwood’s Tulsadoom Abi Albon, already a heavyweight, white, good bone & substance, decent head with enough curve & fill for his age, correct mouth. Ears a bit on the side, shapely but loose, has a lot of maturing to tighten, movement fair in front but close behind;

2 Rowell’s Bullybruza Whirlwind Willy, nicely marked r/w but rather light in bone & very immature, would like a sharper eye & expression.
