MINIATURE BULL JUDGE MIDLAND COUNTIES 15

Miniature Bull Terriers

Glad to see the breed making so much progress & just hope they can now begin to shrink a bit! The open dog class made my day. It wasn’t so long ago with the males that, apart from one or possibly two, you were scratching around to find anything of remotely CC quality. Today I was faced with a class of eight, any one of which I would have been happy to award a CC, congratulations breeders! Even better, quite a few of them moved true as well, though some who were good coming & going tended to bounce rather in front when viewed from the side. A high proportion of perfect mouths with good size teeth, a few slightly undershot or reverse scissor. All but a few had OK canines, some rather tight.

MPD (1)

1 Ratcliff’s Aurmaru Homeward Bound, promising white, rather loose & puppyish as he should be at this stage. Good fill, eye & ears, gentle downface, decent shoulders, well made hindquarters, plenty of bone, moved true in front, a shade close behind, maturity will make a big difference.

PGD (2)

Two handsome dogs, if only they had scissor bites.

1 Lewis’ Lafenice Joey Tribiani, typy white, short & compact, super head, filled & turned with a super expression, straight front, powerful well made hindquarters, slightly heavy over the shoulders. Moved true behind with a reasonable stride.;

2 Lambert’s Grandopera Didier Drogba of Caliber, smart showy brindle, beautifully handled, quality well turned, small well carried ears, straight front, cleaner neck & shoulder line than 1, not so true behind. Difficult decision, lost it by tending to prance in front when going round.

LD (5)

1 Kocaba & White’s Aminirumpus Red Panda, very compact typy red, super head & expression, plenty of bone & substance, powerful hindquarters, good width & depth of chest, moved well in front & a bit choppy behind, tail carried rather high;

2 Vickers’ Lafenice Tudor with Duvessa, brindle with a lot of class, long smooth head, typical expression, super neck & shoulders, straight front, moved true, rather gay tail. Liked both, just preferred 1’s shapelier hindquarters;

3 Whittaker’s Wengormick Petite Pirate.

OD (8)

Truly spoilt for choice!

1 Dobbin’s Debully Shooting Star, intensely masculine typy red, caught my eye immediately, not quite so oversize as many but with enormous power, substance & character, beautiful head with wickedest expression, sound front, correct bone, strong well muscled hindquarters, moved true with plenty of swagger. CC;

2 Holbrook’s Zeus Terissot von Amadis, another very attractive red of a slightly different balance, smart, upstanding & showy, slightly more compact than 1, quality head, 1 had a bit more strength in muzzle, clean body lines, very true mover which put him ahead of some other top class males, 1 had a little more drive. RCC;

3 Phillips’ Bullyon Back To The Measure.

MPB (1)

1 Stephens’ Glitter Stars Vis A Vis via Seayess, feminine white with plenty of shape, OK head, good strength of muzzle, gentle profile, true front, good width & depth of chest but a baby, clean neck & topline, true mover, reasonable drive, well trained to show off her charms. BP.

PB (2)

1 Vickers’ Maybe Duvessa Whizky z Makdani, correct size very feminine white, attractive head, good front, moved smartly, a touch close behind. Could be a shade shorter but has a lot of quality;

2 O’Neill’s Badlesmere Betty Bagpuss with Khlolander, bigger brindle, lovely head with length, turn & fill, neck flows cleanly into a correct topline, true front. Very unruly on the move, never really got into her stride.

JB (3)

1 Goodwin’s Spitewinter MentoBe, lovely little white, real Mini of the right size, so feminine all through, pretty head, correct expression from well placed eyes & ears, well balance, smooth body lines, powerful hindquarters, moved soundly. I don’t usually worry too much whether my winners look alike or not but in this case I felt she complemented the CC winner well. RCC;

2 Draper’s Badlesmere Black Dahlia, bigger b/br, plenty of bone & substance, powerful head, small dark eye, correct ears, not quite shoulders of 1. Moved true behind, a touch wide in front. Didn’t really project herself standing but looked better on the move;

3 Sill’s Duvessa Northern Soul.

PGB (3)

1 Shipp’s Duvessa Gaia, another who made more of herself moving than standing, pretty smaller feminine white, attractive head which could have a shade more strength of muzzle, good eyes, enough bone & substance for size, true front, could have a bit more hind angulation;

2 Carroll’s Badlesmere Betty Boo, much bigger shapely brindle, leggier type, powerful head, good neck & shoulder lines, moved well in front, rather close behind;

3 Kettleborough’s Wengormick Petite Pandora at Bullysoul.

LB (6)

Two quality girls of a similar stamp.

1 Whittaker’s Wengormick Petite Playgirl, brindle, not the smallest but liked her a lot, super head with excellent expression & an eyecatching profile, well laid shoulders, plenty of neck into a short back, correct front, lots of substance, carried tail rather high, scored on movement coming & going, could well make up;

2 Vickers’ Duvessa Last Lady, liked this brindle too, almost as good a head as 1 & loved her piercing eye & wicked expression, again plenty of bone & substance, great showgirl, not quite upper arm of 1 so didn’t move so well in front;

3 Bennett & Pickering’s Quayardson Lady Delacour at Phunsize.

OB (3)

1 CC & BOB, Kaestner’s Bullrichs Catch Me If You Can, enchanting smaller feminine brindle, classical head in proportion with her size, tiny ears, wickedest eyes, slightly arched neck into super shoulders, ideal front, enough substance, absolutely true coming & going & moved round with a sense of her own importance which she maintained in the big ring where she ended up G4;

2 Presland’s Ch Kofyn Kandy Krush, much admired this handsome red of tremendous bone & substance, quality power packed head, super neck & shoulders, wonderful ribbing, strode out with style, could be a shade shorter. Bad luck to come up against two feminine charmers who were rather closer to the measure, but she has so much to offer the breed;

3 Stephens’ Seayess Misty Night.
