PARSON RUSSELL JUDGE BOURNEMOUTH 23

Bournemouth is always a friendly show and today was no exception. A big thanks to my wonderful steward Mathew, who kept the ring running smoothly. I was privileged to go over some good examples of the breed. The bitches have more strength in the breed, pleased to see some smooth coated parsons here today, as any breeder of Parson’s knows they are needed to keep the coats of good quality. Only a couple of had light eyes but many had small teeth, which is not what one wants in these terriers and breeding this out is a must.

PD (2)

1 Bigland’s Heytrop Tamar. Tri boy of great quality, Stunning head, dark eyes and strong muzzle. He had well shaped shoulders will pleasing front angulations. Good bone and neat feet. The Rib is flexible and easy to span. Good length of loin and correct rise finished by his tail set. He was good on the table despite the tannoy in the corner of the ring. Moved soundly with confidence. Well-handled to obtain Best Puppy. I look forward to seeing him when he matures.

2 Manson’s Foxfur Dreams To Reality. White Boy Lovely type a shame that the noise from speaker when on the table. His head is classic, with lovely dark eyes, very expressive. Good neck into shoulder assembly, front straight and true with good bone. Double pelt, jacket harsh. Dog of sound construction. Movement spoilt by the noise, but when he settled it was good. Another one for the future. The breed does need more good dogs.

True front into very tight feet well padded and up on his pasterns. Rib pleasing, length and rise of loin good showing lovely outline on the move.

LB (11,1)

This was a very strong class with many quality bitches.

A stunning head, wedge shape with lovely ear set. Eyes dark and alert. Good bite. Lovely clean lines throughout. Took this on movement from an excellent class. Res BCC.

2 Buckley’s Gonetoground High’n Mighty. She draws your eye to her, what a quality girl, she ran the 1st very close, it was a shame that the tannoy upset her when walking. She is beautiful and was handled so sympathetically. She is one that should go all the way.

1 Lynch’s Vixenview Miss Cash. What a stunner, smooth so what you see is what you get. A classic smooth, thick pelt and leathers. Head has strength but still feminine.
