FOX SMOOTH JUDGE MANCHESTER 14

Smooth Fox Terriers

PD (3)

1 Saunders’ Galleyshine Black Emperor, a somewhat unruly little dog here but good compact shape, pleasing in head & eye & good in foreface. Scored in hind movement over 2 here. Very good in topline. Well muscled. Good compact feet & just enough bone. Went on to win BP;

2 Mullan’s The Show Must Go On at Tamodan, moved better in front than behind, good overall shape & proportions. Correct neck. Good tailset. Good enough strength of bone & correct feet;

3 Dobson’s Residenset’s Get The Party Started at Coolins.

JD (5)

1 Thornton, Bebbington & Turner’s Glendraterra Galileo, a very pleasing youngster who I thought stood out here. He scored in bone over the second. He was good in head & expression with enough length of foreface & good eye. Good neck. Moved well but needs a bit more ring discipline. Good in stifles & plenty of muscle behind. Went on to win RCC;

2 Nichols’ Zetamaz Gossip Column, a very clean cut dog but I thought a shade lacking in strength of bone. Good in neck & topline. Could be a bit more positive in pasterns but moved well behind, & well muscled. Good in rib & loin;

3 Griffiths’ Yoxella Wiki Leaks.

PGD (1)

1 Brookes’ Zetamaz Rumour Has It, OK in general outline & quite pleasing in bone. Good in pasterns but would have preferred to see just a bit more refinement in head & skull & could be better under the eye. Moved better behind than in front where he pinned slightly.

LD (2)

Not & easy class to judge.

1 Clifford’s Migley Llywelyn, OK in head, good enough in bone & not too bad in neck but was a shade long in body & too long in the loin. Good in spring of rib. OK in hindquarters;

2 Jones’ Dobelands Wild At Heart, a bit light in bone & didn’t really stride out well going across & around the ring, could be more positive in front movement & have a shade more bend of stifle. Good spring of rib & good in topline. Scored over 1 in proportions.

OD (3,1a)

1 Breton’s Fr Ch Graindebeaute Du Manoir Saint Adrien, a good headed dog with a pleasing neck & topline. Good short level back. Good pasterns & stood well in front. Plenty behind the tail & good stifles. Moved up & down well & went on to win the CC & BOB;

2 Schoneberg’s Konrad Vd Schonenbergen, a very smart dog standing but didn’t have the positive movement of the winner. Could have just a shade more strength of bone. Good neck & pleasing in outline standing.

VD (3)

1 Saunders’ Star Turn of Galleyshine, an 11 year old but pleasing in outline & had some quality about him. Could use his ears better but very pleasing in neck, good tailset & topline. Very good in body & rib & strode out rather better than the others here;

2 Chalker’s Cario Dixi Moy, moved better in front than behind & looked OK head. Good tailset & good in rib – could be a shade shorter all through;

3 Brookes’ Dobelands Touch Of Frost at Zetamaz.

PB (3)

1 Saunders’ Galleyshine Black Pearl, rather badly behaved & skittish here but a very promising youngster, good shape of body & enough length of leg. Needs time to develop in front. Good topline & very good tailset. Head coming on well & with more ring training will do well;

2 Smith’s Thunderclap McPhee, could be better in shoulders but good bone. Could be better in topline & a shade shorter in back, needs time to finish & tighten up a bit. Good skull & correct eye. Moved well behind;

3 Nichols’ Chantalle’s Phantom Thrill.

JB (2)

1 Hughes & Butcher’s Forgevale Dream Princess, very much scored in shape, body proportions & outline over 2. Very good in head & expression. Good neck & topline, ribs just right. Correct loin & good tailset. Though she still needs time to finish I thought she had a great deal of quality & type about her & she moved really well both in front & behind. She eventually went on to take the CC;

2 Griffiths’ Zandra De-La-Rosa at Yoxella, not the proportions of the winner & could do with a shade more shortness of back. Pinning slightly in front. OK in neck.

LB (2)

1 Anderson & Watt’s Chezatree Days Of Grace, rather better in outline than 2 with a better topline, OK in head & moved out quite well behind. Good bone & OK in pasterns, stood better in front than 2 & had plenty of muscle behind. Good overall shape & pleasing tail. Went on to win the RCC;

2 Darby’s Dobelands Candy Stripes of Classicway, very good in head & ears & very good in neck but could be better in topline & a shade shorter in back. Could move more positively.

OB (2)

Another difficult class to judge.

1 Dams, Savinni & Niel’s Belfox Lollipop, good in head & certainly used her ears better than 2 but not moving well today particularly in front. OK in neck, good tailset. Good in stifles & pleasing in bone. Not so good in body proportions where she could be a shade shorter in back to complete the picture;

2 Brookes’ Dobelands Giggle And Gossip at Zetamaz, smaller & lighter made but would simply not use her ears with any degree of consistency. Good outline & pleasing in feet. Could be better in bone & not showing all that well at times.

VB (1)

1 Chalker’s Rio’s Sparkling Snowflake, a good bitch with a good neck & topline. Showed all the time, enough body. Good bone & correct feet & pasterns. Well muscled for age & she moved out very well. BV.
