PARSON RUSSELL SOUTHERN COUNTIES 10 Judge(s) MRS KIM DENBY-GARDNER DCC MISTER BONAMONTY (MRS J SOLLIS) Parson Russell Terriers My CCs winners who were both made up on the day. To get the negative out of the way. There was one suspect mouth, but in a young exhibit, so I hope it corrects itself. Some, to me, needed a little more rise over the loin, but happily none dropped-off. There were also a few who, again for me, need longer ribs. Movement is still very varied, some being rather uncoordinated. There is also a variance in head shape which also influenced a lot of my decisions. On the plus side I wanted workmanlike, bold & friendly, spanable dogs & I think all my entry were. PD (4) 1 Bigland’s Heythrop Thunderstruck, super outline & side movement, harsh coat, nice overall size & balance, big head with big teeth, good pigment & thick pelt; 2 Baker’s Pacolito Phormula One, slightly larger make, correct outline, very good rear angulation, moved well, beautifully presented & shown, as were all the dogs from this kennel; 3 Pell’s Cassacre Sea Urchin at Olliebark. JD (5,1a) 1 Chapman’s Foxwarren Finder, more of an old-fashioned shape, but of correct size & span. Classic & beautiful head, coat good & harsh & has thick pelt, mouth correct with good teeth, lovely attitude; 2 Swift & Parr’s Spellbert Captain Jack, slightly larger, but still spanable. Good coat & excellent pelt, good mouth, ears & feet; 3 Nixon’s Gonetoground Border Union. PGD (5,1) 1 Cutler & Hughes’ Trumpmoor Exmoor Jimny, absolutely loved him, great example of an unexaggerated working terrier, spot on for size & balance, terrific head, well set tail, good teeth, pelt, pigment & feet, moved well. Seriously considered him in the challenge, but needs to get his coat sorted out; 2 Boggia’s Boughton Brassica, fabulous condition, best of day, which really is saying something, great outline & super shaped wedge head, good teeth, pigment, feet & pelt, lovely rib. Once he had settled he also moved beautifully in that almost lazy way I love; 3 Eastwood’s Pacolito Preshous. LD (4,1) 1 Farrow’s Glenholm Happy Go Lucky, of correct size, height & length, harsh coat & very dark pigment, spanable, but combines flexibility with good muscletone. Good tight feet, classy example of the breed. In the challenge I just felt he didn’t show quite so well, but it was hot. RCC; 2 Highfield’s Bradpole Beau of Guestwick, a bit bigger, but he is such a lovely overall shape. In excellent condition, attractive head with good pigment, good coat, showing well; 3 Hall’s Frithgarth Jack Frost. OD (4,1) 1 Sollis’ Mister Bonamonty, correct overall size, in excellent condition, he almost shone, beautifully balanced, shapely outline & effortless movement, showing all the time, being outside seemed to suit him, good mouth with great teeth, has a very dark pigment, good thick ears, pads & pelt, well balanced angulation, good long ribs, spanable, nice tail carriage. His third CC, BOB & G4; 2 Chapman’s Foxwarren Buddy, I have said jaunty & I think this sums him up, very happy disposition, shows all the time & moving out well, good head, old fashioned working terrier, good mouth & feet, spanable & flexible, good coat & pelt; 3 Swift & Parr’s Windynook Jeckyl Or Hide. V (7,3) 1 Copping’s Badgergrove Rose-E-Lee, when it comes to showing, she really is her own worst enemy as she is so full on, but I love her for it. Correct size & very spanable, love her head, great pigment, pelt, ears & nice rib, good tailset, good coat & in great condition; 2 White’s Ch Ebblechase Eleanor, beautiful head & overall construction, in good coat, great feet. Slightly heavy, but still spanable & flexible. Excellent coat & nicely handled; 3 Highfield’s Guestwick Lindy Loo of Bradpole. PB (4) First two were real babies, both with lovely dispositions. 1 Chapman’s Foxwarren Lollipop, one of those loved her the minute I saw her moments, oh so pretty, nicely proportioned through head & body, excellent dark pigment, good teeth, leathers, pelt & feet, lovely rib & well set tail; 2 Smith’s Bethane Liberton Lassie, slightly larger, but by no means big & with lovely height to length proportions. Beautiful head, great pigment, teeth, coat & pelt, good angulation leading to stunning movement when she hit her stride; 3 Bigland’s Pacolito Phirstrater. JB (2) 1 Eastwood’s Pacolito Phigurehead, nice size, good jaw & teeth & good pigmentation, balanced angulation, correct feet, overall preferred her head to 2 Baker’s Pacolito Numero Uno, still only a puppy, OK for size & angulation, nice mouth & teeth & in good coat, pelt & condition, moved well. PGB (8,2) 1 Farrow’s Halshimoor Final Fling, correct size, nice & long, but unexaggerated. Good dark pigmentation, good coat & pelt, very pretty wedge shaped head, in good condition. Nicely made & with good feet, but sometimes a bit uncooperative on the move; 2 Meyer’s Boughton Bliss for Coclestane, mainly white bitch, but with good pigmentation. Good mouth with nice big teeth, terrific coat, pelt, ears & feet. Larger overall, but is spanable & flexible. When she hits her stride moves beautifully & effortlessly; 3 Hughes’ Wind Beneath My Wings of Ruffntuff. LB (8) 1 Bigland’s Heythrop Tiadrop, good size, with lovely height to length ratios, very spanable without any weakness, in excellent coat & condition, good pelt, nice jaw & teeth, correct reach of neck & lovely shapely rear, moving out well; 2 White’s Ebblechase Rosanna, spot on for size, but still strong & without any coarseness, good long ribcage, wonderful harsh coat, good pelt, ears & feet. Would prefer a slightly stronger head, but pleased that she still has a good jaw & lovely teeth; 3 Bull & Stark’s Clauval Japonica Lady. OB (11,1) This really was a wonderful class with great bitches. No secret that I love both 1 & 2 & was very pleased to get to judge them. 1 Vaughan’s Parruss Star Spangled, correct size, but strongly made, very pretty with loads of Parson attitude, easy span, dense harsh coat & thick pelt, neat feet, excellent pigment, moving & showing really well. CC, her third; 2 Smith’s Bethane Hulabaloo, larger overall, but still spanable & with correct length to height proportions & not heavy or coarse, terrific coat & pelt, good long rib, well put together shoulder & upper arm & correctly angulated rear giving such lovely movement. RCC; 3 Rimmer’s Kylini Mythnmyst. |
