THE WEST HIGHLAND WHITE TERRIER CLUB – 4TH OCTOBER 2014

I would like to thank the Committee of the Club for inviting me to Judge their Championship show. Their hospitality was excellent as was the lovely lunch, thanks Averil.
I was disappointed in the amount of absentees especially in Open dog but this seems to be a sign of the times these days.
Quality in the bitches was better than the dogs on this occasion, my bitch line up was a delight and very difficult to finalise as there were at least 5 exhibits that were “top drawer”. I only found two “iffy” mouths overall and temperament was very good, as was presentation and cleanliness without any obvious chalk and substances.

Sp.Beginners Dog(1)

1 – Fisher – Bobo Whiskey – Masculine dog with good head and coat, a bit reluctant today. Could do to lose a bit of weight.

Minor Puppy Dog – (1) – Absent

Puppy Dog (4) (1a) –

1 - Jennings - Comdale Johnny Junior – Lovely coated puppy with darkest of eye, large teeth, well defined stop, good front and bone, so well presented as always from this kennel, excellent quarters moved and showed well to be BPIS. Hope he fulfils his early promise.

2 – Purchon – Lindenka Chesterman -Another lovely puppy, good head and large teeth, good stop, excellent shoulders, good substance, firm quarters moved and strode out well, lost out to (1) on coat today which is just coming through. These two could change places any day.

3 – Kinnaird – Pepperknowe Och-Aye-The-Noo

Junior Dog (4) (1a) –

1 – West – Tomlyndon Eager Ernest – Nice dog to go over, good in all departments, steady mover, needs time to mature yet and could be a different dog next year. To be critical I would like him a little bigger but he is very balanced, well presented and showed well.

2 – Dale – Hopecharm Ed Turner at Lynnsto – Another lovely young dog and has the same attributes as the winner and hard to decide which should win, but Ed was not being so positive today in front movement and played his handler up a bit. Another exhibit which needs time to mature and next year these two will trouble the best. Excellent presentation as usual from this kennel.

3- Robertson – Brigadoon Sky Ruairidh

Yearling Dog (2) (1a) –Robertson - Brigadoon Sky Ruairidh – Nice head with wide mouth and large teeth, good shoulders and correct coat, moved OK but I think he wished he was somewhere else today.

Novice Dog (2) –

1 – Kinnaird – Pepperknowe Och-Qye-The-Noo – 3rd in Puppy class. Nice dog to go over, good head, strong hindquarters and super coat, just needs more ring training I think as he was unsettled today.

2 – Robertson – Brigadoon Sky Ruairidh

Graduate Dog (2) –

1 – Fisher – Bobo Whiskey.

2 – Robertson – Brigadoon Sky Ruairidh

Post Graduate Dog (2) (1a) –

1 McLoughlin – Ley Hey Latest Legend – Nice dog to go over with good headpiece and wide mouth. Good textured coat, moved smartly for his handler.

Limit Dog (6) (2a) –

1 – Strands – Crinan Code Name Westlake – Great head, strong jaw wide mouth and large teeth. Good eye. Well defined stop. Well off for bone, good textured coat, super hindquarters and tailset. Level topline which he kept on the move. Not the shortest of dogs but he is balanced. Maturing nicely now and he moves so well that this won him the CC today for me.

2 – Wests – Tomlyndon Power of Love – Never noticed this dog before but what a surprise I got when going over him, short back, good head and mouth, excellent shoulder placement, good substance correct coat texture and presented well, good hindquarters, lost out to winner on his rear movement today which was better when not raced around the ring. RCC

Open Dog (4)(4a) All absent.

Veteran Dog (2) –

1 – Tullis – Drumsheugh True Grit Sh.CM - 8 year old dog, nice head, short back, super coat but a bit too much of it making him look stuffy in neck which he isn’t. Good quarters and moved and showed well.

1 – Dale – Lynnsto Bling in the Ring – She certainly Blinged in the ring today, sweet little bitch so full of herself, super ultra white coat coming through. Darkest of eye, good mouth. Lovely front and shoulder placement, short back and tail bang on top, I am sure will do well in the future.

2 – Cooper – Brorastar Love Me Do – More mature than the winner, a little longer caste at the moment, good coat and tailset, good substance moved and showed well.

My 2nd lovely bitch.

Novice Bitch (2)(1)

1 – Kinnaird – Pepperknowe Party ‘n’ Paris – Third in Puppy bitch, lovely white coat, good pigmentation, moved well but a little over weight I thought today.

Limit Bitch (7)(3)

Prettiest of heads with good mouth, dark eye, neat ears, lovely shoulder placement and straight front, well off for substance, deep rib and well muscled hindquarters which showed in her movement, level topline, super white coat well presented, just felt in the challenge she needed a bit more maturity yet as she is still only a young bitch, lovely girl. RCC and the 4th of my lovely bitches in the challenge.

3 – Milners – Rozamie Merry Go Round by Juanne

Open Bitch(8)(3)

1 – Edmondsons – Pepabby Pirouette – Never judged this bitch before and I have to say that when she was a puppy I was not keen on her, but baby look at her now!! Has matured so well with everything in it right place, your hands just flow over this well constructed bitch, you know from your hands that she is going to move correctly and she does with her tail bang on top, such a show girl and well presented, her outline when standing is a dream, strong level topline which she keeps on the move. Great head and wide mouth, which a lot lack these days, wonderful shoulder placement, if the shoulders are right then the animal will move right, the same with hindquarters if they are straight then there is no drive but not in this girl, she drove around the ring to gain the CC and BIS my 5th lovely bitch, Well done, her third CC I understand.

2 – Fryers – Hope;charm Flower Power – Super moving bitch with strong hindquarters, good head and mouth, level topline and good tailset, another lovely bitch from this kennel but I do lean towards the Junior winner.
