MINIATURE BULL CRUFTS 20 Bull Terrier (Miniature) BEST OF BREED CH UNCLE SAM AT BULLYVIEW THE WARRIOR Dog Owner: MR J & MRS A YOUNG After showing and breeding in Bull Terriers for over 35 years and Miniature Bull Terriers for over 25 years I was honoured to be invited to judge both breeds at Crufts. I would like to thank all the exhibitors who entered under me in both breeds. I had an outstanding entry in quality and quantity including an apparently record entry in Miniature Bull Terriers at Crufts. This made for lots of very close decisions and in some of the larger classes normally super dogs and bitches were left unplaced. As a vulnerable breed, the Miniatures in particular have come on in leaps and bounds in type, size & depth of quality, especially from the continent. This improvement has happened within about the last 15 years which is a relatively short time for any breed and is a testament to the breeders around the world. There have been great minis prior to this but generally they could be counted on 1 hand and there were very few minis shown or bred outside the UK, Australia & the US. This holds the breed in good stead for the future. The best veteran class I have ever judged with the first 3 still easily able to win CCs. 1 Brommont-Lothary’s Ch/Int Ch Merlindan Captain Chaos. Smart showy black brindle & white dog. Lovely sweep to his head with decent fill. Lovely straight front and good hind angulation. Excellent reach of neck and shapely forechest. Moved fairly parallel coming and going. Super showman presented in immaculate condition. Good size. Best Veteran. Excuse me for mistaking this class for Open Dog with the quality of the dogs in the class. 2 Fletcher’s Multi Ch/Int Ch Canabull North Wind. Ultra typy white dog. Lovely turned and filled head. Straight front when standing. Shapely & balanced throughout with lovely reach of neck and neat feet. Good size. Another super showman presented in immaculate condition.
