Coloured Bull Terrier Club Show 6th May 2006
My thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge and my congratulations on a very well run, and enjoyable show in their new lovely new venue.  The overall quality of the entry was heartening, black brindles were predominant, very few rich mahogany brindles and even fewer reds, but to the credit of the breeders most were well marked. The bold eye once common to the coloured Bull Terrier is now less evident, in fact many exhibits had the correctly placed deep set eye giving the correct expression. I was very pleased to note a significant improvement in mouths, all the exhibits were in good condition and all concerned should feel justifiably proud.  The problems at the moment seem to be tail et and carriage; front construction also caused me some concern.  Many exhibits today had no depth to the forechest  with upright shoulders combined with steep upper arms and were consequently restricted in front movement.  The ideal ‘gun barrel’ front would seem to be a rarity.  My BIS winner Tyber Groundpower exemplified sound construction and free movement.
 
 

Special Veteran D or B

1. Blairs Megavilles Adella, 7 y.o. black brindle bitch with good profiled head.  Good spring of rib, good hind angulation, moved and showed well.

 
 

Special Brood Bitch

1. Backhouse’s Ishaba Geoffs Delight black brindle bitch with lovely sweep to well-filled head, but mouth not perfect.  Long neck but also long in loin.  Not the depth of brisket or spring of rib I would have liked.

 
 

Puppy Dog

1. Toussaint’s Aldamar Baccarat tri-coloured 10 month pup.  Good sound construction with good shoulders and hindquarters, deep through skull but not enough downface.  Moved freely when settled.

2. Darren’s Ishaba Inspiration tri-coloured pup with curved profile marred by a slight dip.  Big ribs but shoulders could be better, rather straight in stifle, and the added burden of being undershot.

 
 

Junior Dog

1. Welsby’s & Dandridge’s Sherrywells Red Dragon (TAF) red powerfully built with long head. Ear carriage could be better, and needs more spring of rib.  Hindquarters and tail set prevented the natural flow of the bodylines and rather spoilt the picture on the move.

2. Chapman’s Inversu Solo Pathfinder black brindle with good head that appeared rather short for his length of body.  Showed and handled well.

 

 
 

 Novice Dog

1. Stubbs Tyber Groundpower quality upstanding black brindle.

Good head, well filled through would have liked a smaller eye.  Correct mouth.  Good shoulders and well angulated hindquarters.  Excellent condition, moved freely and effortlessly with power, reach and drive.  BIS

2. Proctor & McIntyre’s Simpau Little Bit Foyri at Highcrest brindle dog with good head and expression.  Well boned in good condition would have liked better shoulders and depth in front.  Best brindle.

3. Padgett & Summer’s Meridianview Voodoo King

 
 

Post Graduate Dog

1. Selmes & Jackson’s Jongleur Vanguard rich brindle smallish dog, beautiful condition.  Deep skull, ear placement could be better. Big ribs compact body, would prefer more of him all round.

2.Botterill’s Hinaries Charming Midnight black brindle with good head ears and expression, not the forechest of winner nor front movement.
 

Limit Dog

1. Wannop’s Charishalee Slim Shady black brindle with good well filled head.  Sound construction, compact, big ribs, his feet could be tighter.  Moved well with drive.  Res BIS

3. Nicol’s Megaville Dark ‘N Divine (TAF)

Novice Bitch

1. Barritt’s Romantacy Princess Rose black brindle bitch with well filled head though profile could be improved.  A little on the portly side.  Showed well but lacked drive on the move.

 
 

Post Graduate Bitch

1. Haworth’Teregrams Princess Warrior very smart brindle bitch, compat with good head and shoulders.  Moved well but her upright tail set and carriage prevented her progressing further.

Well made in excellent condition, lost to winner on shoulder placement.  Best Solid

3. Baxter’s Bossjespruit Cascade.

Ecellent condition with gleaming coat, soundly made but not moving too well in front today.
