I would like to thank the club and its members for inviting me to my first assignment in the UK and to all exhibitors for entering. There was a very nice entry and mostly of high quality dogs.  My overall impression is that most entries were of excellent type and temperament, they had very nice coat-quality and presentation. A few exceptions, otherwise nice mouth-pigmentation and correct bites.  My only concern is too many narrow fronts and briskets. The show was held in a super atmosphere and I was very well taken care of this National Terrier weekend by Wendy, Lyndia and my skilled ring steward Tony.

BP: C & C W Forrest & Scott Lacarnaveen the One and Only

Many thanks to exhibitors for their entries. It’s a huge honour to judge at any show, but particularly so at Crufts. Thanks also to the Crufts committee for the invitation.

I had many quality animals to assess, & without doubt, some of the placings could easily change on another day.

All exhibits demonstrated good temperament, most had dark gums & dark roof of mouth, bites were mostly correct with a couple of exceptions.

A little variation in coats, with some coloured, but with incorrect texture.

I was delighted that my BOB winner went on to represent our breed so well by winning G3 under a very highly respected terrier man!

PD: (3:2a)

1st C & C W Forrest & Scott Lacarnaveen the One and Only, delightful pup with long, clean head & lovely neat ears. Dark eyes. Good neckline & depth of brisket, with good tail set & correct soft & silky coat for age. Moved true coming & going.

Beautiful coat texture with colour breaking well throughout. Moved true coming & going but needs to step out more, he was turning to look for his owner which spoiled his outline on the move.

OD (5:2a) Three excellent males in this class, all with great quality. I was really impressed by all three winners who are all capable of winning at the highest level.

1st Mr H & Mrs H Quigg Ir Ch Irisblu Jack Of Diamonds. Upstanding male with great ring presence. He has a super outline & with hands on, does not disappoint. His dark blue coat is beautifully soft & silky with correct texture. His compact body is muscular & strong. He has a strong head with good ear carriage. Lovely neckline & correct shoulders, short back, well developed quarters with good stifle & strong tail set & carriage. Covers the ground with purpose & holds a pleasing outline on the move. Very well presented, it was a pleasure to award him CC & BOB;
2nd Mrs G Llorens Rodriguez Sp Ch Edbrios Valentino [ATC AR02145IRE]. This is another very pleasing dog, beautifully presented, good coat & colour with correct pigmentation, good backend & tail set. Decent head with good ears used all the time. Long reachy neck & good shoulders. Sound mover, slightly longer in loin than 1, but nevertheless a super representative of the breed;
3rd T Sonnenschein Rus Ch Loughborough Suite Luthar For Nash Avgust [ATC AS01445DEU]. I really liked this dog. He has a lovely head & expression, well bodied, gorgeous coat texture. Good neck line & shoulders into good depth of brisket. Tail set is good, & he is sound coming & going. Presented very well. .

VB (2:1a)

Well made, with a good neck & top line. Her back end is well developed, tail set good, coat is silky with plenty of colour breaking. Lovely in stance, she would not cooperate on the move with her handler today, saw enough quality in her for her placing.

Res Mr F R & Mrs J Pinfold Atlanta Blue Cherie Etoile (Imp)

LB (8:3a)
1st Miss C Clarke-O’neill Lemracdream Blue Ivy. Very smart on the move, with excellent side gait. Good tail set & back end, soft coat & enough colour, & although she could do with a little more hair in places, this did not detract too much from her good outline. Feminine head, good expression. Good neck line & shoulders. Showed well;
2nd Miss J E Jones Arkama Harmony Miss D’Arcy. Attractive bitch, good steady mover. With good head & expression with good ears. Decent neck line & shoulders, slightly longer cast that 1 & higher on the leg. She has a beautiful coat texture with good colour, clearing well;
3rd Messrs D & I Anderson & Watt Kebulak Playing With Fire At Nisyros. Good sized bitch with a good head & expression, presents a good outline, compact body & decent back end. Coat clearing, needed a bit more refining on the trim to complete the picture. Moves true, but needed a bit more ‘ooomph’ today, but nevertheless an attractive bitch with lots to like about her.
Res Mr J & Mrs P McCann Ballybaloe Mary Poppins
VHC Mrs L Wilkinson Cranmoss Crackling Rose

OB (10:2a) My class winners here were all of high quality, with some good ones going card less.

2nd Mr H & Mr P Quigg & Smith Ir Ch Irisblu Candy Stripes. Another quality bitch with good head & expression. Slightly longer cast than 1, but with good body & depth of brisket. Plenty behind the tail, with good turn of stifle. Dark blue with lovely coat texture. Moved OK;

3rd Mr R Tasselli Balboa Show Time [ATC AS01060ITA]. Smart, compact bitch from this highly regarded kennel. She is a good size, with decent head & ears, well-proportioned body with good neck line & quarters. Her tail set & carriage were good. Soft coat with colour still clearing, she moved adequately, but without her usual ‘sparkle’ today.
