Rear angulation seems to be much better nowadays with the result that there is generally less toeing in & more drive, but fronts are so often disappointing with all too many bully or upright shoulders, often placed too far forward, steep upper arms & pasterns which turn out.

Bull Terriers

The males were rather a mixed bag & I felt my CC winner stood away, but there were plenty of excellent bitches, & three special ones. Rear angulation seems to be much better nowadays with the result that there is generally less toeing in & more drive, but fronts are so often disappointing with all too many bully or upright shoulders, often placed too far forward, steep upper arms & pasterns which turn out. A proprotion of untidy mouths with teeth out of line or a faulty canine, one or two with more serious faults. All had happy temperaments, though it’s irritating for spectators & those in nearby rings when the dogs bark continually. Why the fashion to run with your BT? Very few move at their best at that speed, being more suited to accompanying a brisk walk.

JD (7,2a)

1 Walker & Clacher’s Odakotas Black Hawk, good all round b/br, scored heavily on overall balance which won him RCC. Handsome head, excellent neck & topline with flowing lines, short shapely body, excellent hindquarters, well set tail, sufficient bone, can tighten slightly in front, moved true behind & with drive, look forward to seeing him when maturity has filled him out;

2 Westwood’s Tulsadoom Abi Albon, very different type, huge powerful white with many virtues, power packed head, good eye, slightly strong in skull, very good bone & hindquarters, plenty of body, a touch heavy over the shoulders, turns his feet a little. Rather a laid back showman in contrast to 1 who was on his toes all the time;

3 Brown’s Meridianview Monkey Boy.

ND (0).

PGB (3)

1 Quinn's Padhen Abraham Of Lincoln, typy tri litter brother to RBCC & with the same excellent shape, OK head, excellent profile & expression, muzzle could be a shade stronger, clean neck & shoulder, short back, well angulated hindquarters, moved with drive, true behind, slightly narrow in front, could well be a slow maturer like his sister;

3 Samways’ Bullbrit Big Bufalo at Hardysview.

LD (5)

1 CC, Leesley’s Ch Lydsyll’s The Untouchable, ultra typy white full of quality & personality, not a big one but dominates the ring, very well made & absolutely all of a piece, enough bone for size, classic outline, well set ears, super eye & expression, excellent arc & roman finish, perhaps could have a shade more fill. A real Bull Terrier;

1 Roff’s Bobuddy Enigma, lovely bitch of super type & substance, top class head with fill, profile & expression, mature in body, powerful hindquarters. Not quite so good in shoulders & pasterns as eventual winners but I liked her overall picture a great deal, could well make up;

3 L Lady Luck.

OB (9,2)

Quality right down the line.

1 CC & BOB, Cox’s Ch Coxgal Oiche Angel, lovely tri, has the head type, substance & quality for a specialist & the style, character & movement for an all-rounder, tremendous profile, super eye & ears right on top giving her a superb expression not missing a trick, enough fill-up, super reachy neck, clean shoulders, immaculate front, shapely topline, good tail carriage, just the right hind angulation, shows like a bird & comes into her own on the move, remarkably true behind which her unusual hock markings emphasize, parallel in front too & has great reach & drive.

Hardest of decisions, 2 is a shade more compact, 1 had slightly better feet & went truer behind. If only all were as well schooled as these two;
