My entry of 46 Miniatures was very pleasing & with just 6 absent gave me, in some classes, some very difficult decisions! I last judged 3 years ago & although we have had the DNA test now for some time, size is still a problem, but one which I feel is slowly getting better. As before I feel the bitches were stronger in depth with the Open Bitch class full of quality which bodes well for the breed! First & foremost I was looking for a show dog with attitude coupled with breed type & felt that all my winners had this in abundance! PD (2) 1 Hearne & Singleton’s Warbonnet Magnum PI, 7 months white with black ears, up to size pup with a lovely well filled powerful head with great profile & wicked eye, slight mouth fault. Well set ears, well arched neck & good well sprung ribs. Correct tail carriage, good round bone down to tidy feet. Put down in lovely hard condition. Moved well once settled, pleased to award him BP; 2 Nelson’s Badlesmere Blown Away at Stemone, 7 months br/w, different type to 1 & not so mature but with lots to like. Good head & eye with enough profile, good strong neck & shoulder with correct topline & good tailset. Preferred the head of 1 but one to watch for the future. JD (5) 1 Llewellyn’s Bullypins Klassikos, b/br/w, my star of the day! Lovely dog from all angles in pristine condition, spot on the measure & showed correct balance to size, a real Bull Terrier in miniature, powerful masculine head with turn & fill, slight mouth fault, ears bang on top which he used well. Long strong neck to good shoulders & topline, tail well set & movement true for & aft & in typical jaunty style & best of the class! Showed like a bomb! Pleased to award him his first CC, I’m sure his title will soon follow! 2 Kettleborough’s Quayardson Sir Draco at Bullysoul, r/w, a little longer in back than 1 & not the head but still a nice example with a good head well filled with enough profile, mouth fault, well-shaped dark eye & nice small ears which he used well! Nice neck into well laid shoulder, well-let down behind, moved OK & at one with his handler; 3 Lewis’ Lafenice Joey Tribiani. PGD (3) 1 Lambert’s Grandopera Didier Drogba of Calibar, br/w, a little over the measure with a powerful head with turn & fill but carrying a mouth fault. Ears on top which he used well. Nice dark well set eye & with a good strong neck & shoulder with correct topline & good tailset, nice round bone down to tidy feet, moved & handled well. Pushed hard for the RCC; 2 Price’s Thrydings Longshanks, different type to 1 with an OK head lacking a little in profile. Good neck into well laid shoulder, nice body shape & well set tail.

Lovely balance to size without exaggeration. Super head filled & turned with one of the best mouths of the day & ears bang on top which she used well! Really well made throughout. Nice short back with correct well set tail & carriage which as a breed we seem to be losing! Super straight front with round bone down to cat feet. Moved parallel coming & going. Pleased to award her third CC & BOB. Represented our breed so well in the Group! 2 Hearne & Singleton’s Arcazy Uptown Girl by Warbonnet, lovely upstanding tri who looked good from all angles, in pristine condition, although a little over the measure showed correct balance to size, powerful yet feminine head with turn & fill & with the best profile of the day which unfortunately probably accounted for the mouth fault, ears bang on top which she used well, most wicked of expressions attained by desired eye shape, long strong neck to good shoulders & short back with good topline held well on move which was true fore & aft. Pleased to award her the RCC in what was stiff competition; 3 Shaw’s Badlesmere Bourre. MALCOLM J PRESLAND Go To Top Of Page
