Border Terriers

Dog CC and Best of Breed
Lee’s Tythrop Tapas 

Leslie & Bainbridge’s Mansergh First Proof at Risdene  Bitch CC Winner

Minor Puppy Dog (9, 2 ab.) : 1. Wallace’s Hobholt Harrier – light grizzle, a raw baby with a lovely outline, especially going round the ring, striding out and holding his topline well.  Good head with dark eyes and keen expression, strong jaw and big teeth.  Super straight front with clean, well-laid shoulders, excellent body shape of good length and narrow.  Harsh coat and thick pelt; moved well.  Very promising.

2. Jackson’s Clipstone Tailor – grizzle with a strong head, keen expression; very good coat and pelt.  Lovely size with a good outline; slightly shorter in body than the winner.  Not being very co-operative with his handler.

3. Morgan’s Badgerbeck Festive Spirit.

Puppy Dog (3, 0 ab.) : 1. McPherson’s Brumberhill Bestseller – grizzle with a super otter head, dark eyes and big teeth.  Lovely outline with a very good neck and topline, spannable; good coat and pelt.  Hind movement was good but needs to tighten in front.  A very stylish puppy.  BP

2. Stockley’s Foxfactor Hornblower – grizzle with an excellent coat and pelt, strong head for age.  Nice overall make and shape but bigger than the winner and hind movement could improve.

3. Hand & Sheedy’s Lutrabeck Limbo.

Junior Dog (8, 1 ab.) : Three lovely free-moving dogs who all looked capable of a day’s work.

1. Lee’s Tythrop Tapas – super grizzle dog with an excellent coat and pelt.  Good head with dark eyes and keen expression, big teeth and a strong jaw.  Lovely neck and shoulders with a straight, narrow front, well-ribbed back and easily spanned.  Superb topline, which he held on the move, good legs and feet.  Moved and shown to perfection.  A natural showman.  CC and BOB 

2. Leslie & Bainbridge’s Risdene Tapenade – grizzle with good conformation, slightly bigger than winner but narrow and spannable.  Good head, excellent coat and pelt, very good underline.  Tends to arch slightly when stacked but has a good topline on the move.  Moved well.

3. Kiernan’s Runalong Jake.

Post Graduate Dog (10, 2 ab) :  1. Leslie & Bainbridge’s Mansergh Hoast a Roast at Risdene – lovely grizzle dog with excellent movement and super outline; just right for size and easily spanned.  Good head with a strong jaw and excellent mouth with big teeth.  Wonderful clean shoulders and straight front, very good length of body and well angulated hindquarters; harsh coat and thick pelt.  Considered for top honours but just needs a little more time.

2. Hollingsbee’s Otterwood Amex JW ShCM – grizzle with a very strong head and neat ears, good mouth; good coat and pelt, very good tail.  Moved well, shorter in body than winner.

3. Kiernan’s Runalong Jake.

Limit Dog (11, 3 ab)  :  1.  Fryer’s Irton Silver Knight – grizzle dog in full, harsh coat with a thick pelt.  Very good head with strong jaw and big teeth, dark eyes with a keen expression.  Good conformation with a nice length of body and good outline.  Moved well when settled.

2.  Leslie & Bainbridge’s Risdene Quink – blue and tan with super harsh coat and thick pelt.  Excellent neck, shoulder and body shape and well angulated hindquarters, a very balanced dog.  Moved well with excellent drive.  Close decision between first and second.

3. Matthews’ Rhozzum Tory.

Open Dog (9, 2 ab)  : 1. Roberts’ Ch Tythrop Taggart at Smalesmouth – lovely dark grizzle dog with excellent harsh coat and thick, loose pelt.  Flat skull, strong jaw and good mouth with big teeth.  Excellent neck, shoulders and narrow body, easily spanned; a racy, balanced dog.  Moved superbly with great drive; in very fit condition.  Res. CC.

2. Jackson’s Clipstone Hard Cash – dark grizzle with a good head, strong jaw and good mouth.  Very good harsh coat and thick pelt; good movement with a level topline which he held on the move.  Would prefer a little less of him.

3. Aspinwall’s Farmway Night Owl JW.

Minor Puppy Bitch (13, 0 ab) :  1.  Girling’s Benattivo Mulberry – grizzle with a very good head.  Not a lot of coat but enough to feel the texture.  Excellent conformation, with a balanced outline and moved really well with good drive; up to size but spannable.  Very promising puppy but I hope she has finished growing.

2. Macdonald’s Badgerbeck Fantacy – grizzle with a very good coat and pelt, shapely body with a balanced outline; good head.  Hind movement good but needs to tighten in front.

3. Wallace’s Hobholt Harmony.

Puppy  Bitch (3, 0 ab) :  Disappointing class.  1. Smith’s Thewina Angel Heart at Swangrove – red with a nice head; not a lot of coat.  Moved quite well but topline could be better.

2. Gitten’s Smartstone Darling at Tregennadene – blue and tan with a very harsh coat; good neck and topline.  Carries her ears a bit high and didn’t move as well as 1.

3. Wilson’s Twigglestone Babiana.

Junior Bitch (11, 2 ab) :  Three very good youngsters, all with very good tails.  1. Roslin-Williams’ Mansergh Miss Otis – grizzle bitch with a lovely otter head; in full coat but has the construction to carry it.  Harsh coat and thick, loose pelt; clean shoulders, excellent length of body, well ribbed back and narrow; good topline which she held on the move.  Very good hindquarters and super tail.  Moved well with great drive.

2.  Parker’s Conundrum Fancy Kisses – attractive, feminine bitch with a good head and expression; excellent coat and pelt.  Well constructed with a lovely narrow front but slightly shorter in body than the winner. Good topline and a very good tail.  Moved well.

3.  Willets’ Tythrop Shooting Star over Hanway.

Post Graduate Bitch (18, 3 ab) :   1. Hollingsbee’s Otterwood Ilex JW – grizzle with a strong head, neat ears, dark eyes, good mouth.  Harsh coat and thick pelt.  Good movement, holding topline well on the move.

2. Hibberd’s Biddestone Pin Cushion – smaller type and would prefer more length in body.  Attractive head, very feminine, straight front, good coat, very nice tail.   Moved well.

3. Wright’s Totherend Bluebell O’Ball.

Limit Bitch (12, 2 ab) :  -  1.  Guvercin’s Badgerbeck Kinsai – lovely workmanlike bitch with a good head, strong jaw, big teeth.  Superb neck and body, excellent conformation throughout.  Good coat and pelt.  Moved true with very good drive from hindquarters.

2. McPherson’s Ch Brumberhill Betwixt – well known dark grizzle in good condition.  Harsh coat with more depth than it looks.  Lovely outline when free standing, body narrow and spannable.  Good head; moved very well.  Res CC
