GLEN OF IMAAL NATIONAL TERRIER 26 Judge: Mr D Shields GLEN OF IMAAL JUDGE NATIONAL TERRIER 26 VD/B (2) 1 Hannington’s Ch.Bel.Ch.Int.Ch.Esp.Ch. Boudivella Osca VW. 11 year old who so belies his age. Well made throughout with excellent strength and substance. Best of heads with a strong foreface and a alert expression. Pleasing front, well boned legs and good depth of body. Correct topline with the required slight rise to loin, there were one or two today who I felt were too exaggerated in their toplines. Excellent width to his quarters. Covered the ground on a free and easy stride, Res.CC & BV. 2 Forbes Ch.Jeonty Dreams A Dream with Karensbrae JW ShCEx. Another super veteran who I did well as a youngster. Has kept a great shape both stood and on the move. Typical in head, strong jaw, neat ears and correct bite. Good width of chest, deep body and well sprung ribs. Well set tail and presented in good coat and excellent condition. Moved on a very positive stride. PGD (5) 1 Hannington’s Boudivella Love Story JW. Lots to like about this one. Still relatively young and think the best is still to come. Liked his size, shape and overall outlook. Pleasing head piece, good eye and the best of expressions. Strong neck and a good layback of shoulder. Firm body, correct topline along with a pleasing tailset and carriage. Best mover in the class, sound fore and aft. 2 Sage & Saletti’s Jojase Brandon Dark Blue. On first inspection thought he could be my winner but not the drive behind in his movement as the first on the day. Excellent strength and substance throughout. Balanced head. Well boned, good depth of body, pleasing spring of rib and good width to his hindquarters. 3 Saletti’s Jojase Blarney Magic Blue. LD (3,1) 1 George’s Romainville Mikkee Blue. Sound and honest dog who handles well on the table. Well made throughout with the required strength and substance. Typical in head, good width and a powerful foreface along with big teeth and a correct bite. Well made front assembly with good width and depth of chest. Firm body, correct ribbing and a well set tail. Presented in good coat and condition. On the move covered the ground on a pleasing stride, CC. 2 Hardy’s Amhard Tornado. One with plenty of breed attributes. Liked his shape and overall balance. Good head shape with a pleasing expression and neat ears. Stands on good legs and feet. Shapely body with that gentle rise in his topline from withers to loin. Pleasing quarters with a good bend of stifle. Moved well but not quite the stride of the winner. OD (4,1) Interesting class to judge with plenty to like about all three. 1 Pryce’s Ch.Cenaubach I Do JW. Smart dog of overall good make and shape. Pleasing strength and quality bone throughout. Best of heads with a very typical appearance, good eye and expression. Strong neck, well laid back shoulders and good depth of body. Well rounded hindquarters of good width along with a pleasing bend of stifle. Best of coats. Soundest mover in the class. To be ultra critical would just have preferred a better tail carriage which just detracted when it came to the challenge. 2 Saletti’s Esp.Ch.World Heremon Bear at Jojase. Pleasing sort, liked his size and balance and is not overdone in anyway. Good strength of head, corect eye of a good colour. Well made front assembly, good legs and feet and a shapely body. Correct topline which he held on the move. In good coat and condition. Moved well fore and aft but could not match the winners positive stride. 3 Hardy’s Ch.Amhard Quick Fire. MPB (1) 1 Fobister & Davies Wigusbin Wonder. Very much a baby but very well developed with good bone and substance for her age along with a pleasing spring of rib. Liked her head and expression, small well set ears along with a correct bite. Clean front, firm topline and good width of hindquarters. When she settled and got into her stride moved well, BP. PB (1) 1 Wigusbin Wonder. PGB (4) 1 Forbes Boudivella Higher Lover with Karensbrae. Took your eye when she entered the ring with her positive manner, was definitely up for it on the day. Liked her balance and has that appearance the standard asks for of maximum substance for the size of the dog. Pleasing head, eye and expression. Scores in front assembly. Well sprung ribs, good strength of loin and powerful quarters that she uses to advantage on the move. Sound mover with good reach and drive, Res.CC. 2 Hannington’s Boudivella Dottie. Another good one from this kennel who presents a very typical outlook. See that both her and the winner are by the Veteran Dog and both have inherited many of his virtues. Excellent bone and substance throughout. Good head piece with a strong jaw and a pleasing length of foreface. Firm body and a well set tail. Moved on a reasonable stride but not the drive of the winner. 3 Saletti’s Jojase Bridie True Blue. LB (3,1) 1 George’s Romainville Steel Magnolia. Top size but won the class on her overall confirmation and more positive movement. Typical in head with a good eye and expression. Strong muscular neck set in well placed shoulders. Good bone throughout. Pleasing spring of rib along with well rounded quarters. Put down in good coat. 2 Saletti’s Jojase Aisling Pixie JW. Typy bitch who presents a typical appearance. Pleasing head and an alert expression. Well boned legs with compact feet. Firm body, well ribbed along with a correct topline and well set tail. Presented in good double coat. Moved on a tidy stride. Not the layback of shoulder of the winner. OB (3) 1 Howarth’s Ch.Amhard Sugar Plum. Judged her as a very raw youngster a couple of years ago. Plenty to like then but has now blossomed into the finished article. Good shape and balance. Presents a feminine outlook but has the required strength and substance to complete the picture. Good head piece, pleasing width and good length of foreface, strong jaw and correct bite. Well made front assembly, good spring of rib and the best of hindquarters. Put down in good order on the day. Sound positive mover with good drive from behind, CC & BOB. 2 Sage’s Ch.Wickholm Bohemian Rhapsody. Favourite of mine who I have done well in the past and still hold in high regard and wasn’t far off top honours again. Felt she just didn’t have the finish of the top winners on the day. Very typical in head with the best of expressions. Strong neck and a good layback of shoulder. Firm body with a correct topline, strong loin and good width of quarters. Moved well on a pleasing stride. 3 Pryce’s Cazcade And So It Begins. David Shields |
