Thanks also go to my amazing stewards, Trish and Bill, for keeping both me and the classes moving along, and not forgetting the exhibitors for providing me with a wonderful quality entry. It is two years since I judged the breed, and it was pleasing to see that mouths seem to be improving and more exhibits are moving true behind. It was also good to see so many really nice youngsters coming through the ring today, this bodes well for the future. PD (2) 1 Gent & Lees’ Sumirick Eye Of The Storm, 6mth old male at his first show. Neat, compact outline, with coat of good colour and texture for age. Nice head with good mouth, medium ears, and dark eyes. Good length of neck, deep chest and straight front. Level on top and good bend of stifle. Although a little erratic on the move at times, when settled he showed some good movement with reach and drive. 2 Cleverly’s Janeyjimjams Jinja Beer, 11mth old male. Slightly longer cast than 1, but still balanced in profile. Good head, nice earset and excellent length of neck. Topline ok with good tailset, would prefer a little more bend of stifle. Moved ok but preferred the movement of 1. JD (1) 1 Satherley & Bye’s Silkcroft Perfect Symmetry (AI), Stood alone but deserved his place. Compact, neat outline. Coat of good colour and texture for age and developing well. Good head with alert expression. Good front assembly with straight front. Level topline and good tailset. Moved well in profile showing plenty reach and drive, though there was some crossing of front legs when coming towards. LD (1) 1 Gent’s Calvenace House Of Fun, 4-year old male with balanced outline. Neat small ears. Excellent mouth showing good scissor bite. Straight front, good shoulder placement, and ok depth of chest. Level on top and good tailset. Movement ok but would have liked to see a more fluid movement with more reach and drive. OD (5) 1 Walsh & Hanna’s Teaghlach Angel Kinaelan (Imp Esp), 2-year old compact male of nice size and with a balanced profile. Irish coat type with soft loose waves and shine. Lovely masculine head with excellent mouth and bite, good sized black nose and tidy small ears. Loved his terrier expression. Excellent length of neck into good shoulders, plenty depth of chest. Straight front. Level topline and tail bang on top. Good rear assembly with plenty bend of stifle and well-muscled thighs. He showed ring presence and moved so easily around the ring with purpose, and plenty reach and drive - even though his handler did try to sabotage things by taking a tumble in the final challenge! Pleased to award him BOB and DCC. 2 Herbert’s Saffini Smooth Operator At Julibidd, 4-year old well put together dog. Different type to 1 in terms of size and build, but still much to like. Strong masculine head with good mouth and lovely dark eye. Neck of good length with slight curve into well placed shoulder. Straight front and good depth of chest. Level topline held on the move. Nice bend of stifle. Moved well showing plenty reach and drive. Pleased to award him RDCC. VD (2) Both dogs of similar age, but different types. 1 Williams’ Flaxela Living Legend At Gwendonydd.
