                                    Manchester Terrier report

JD(1)  1st Walker's Wysterey Depths of Glory For Sizlin, nicely balanced headpiece, ears could be a tad higher, very well shaped and coloured, so expressive eyes and a nicely arched neck. So well ribbed, tight in elbow and that gently sloping backline to a well set and carried tail. Coat gleamed and his side action showed reach and drive.

PGD(7)  1st Mystery Depths of Glory For S.  2nd  Brown & Davies' Wystry Agony And Ecstacy such a good head, flattest of skulls, strong muzzle, well set ears and an expression full of devilment and mischief!!Decent forehand and spring of rib, bit straight in stifle, well presented jacket but needs ring training to get the best out of him on the move.     3rd Earle's Rattustrap Bear Humbug

LD(3)  1st Brown & Davies' Wystry Dempsey's Tipple JW such a well coated and presented chap.  A bit smaller than I like but all male in head and expression, good reach of neck, excellent forehand, very well ribbed and a moderate bend of stifle Did just about enough when moving as he was prone to play his handler up.   2nd W. Agony And Ecstacy  3rd R. Bear Humbug

OD(5)  1st  CC & BOB Knight's Ch Talanors Typically Elite what a smooth striding, confident chap this is. Gives that look of knowing he is good and moved out around the ring with such a light, ground covering stride.  Beautifully headed. Uses his ears so well and has a more than useful neck. So well bodied and side on he impresses on the move with reach and drive. He well deserved  the top award.   2nd & Res CC Broadhurst's Eaglespur Dutch Showman I loved the head properties, ears and expression on this very handsome dog.  Immaculate in coat, his length/height proportions are spot on, he is richly coloured and well muscled aft. I just felt the winner had the edge in hock action having that tad more drive. But this chap should be ennobled soon.  3rd Warner's Ch Talanors Time For Fun Shcex

SBB(1)  1st Walker's Horsestones Hotpot a nicely headed bitch of good wither height and decent length/height proportions. She has sufficient spring of rib and a decent forehand. In excellent jacket she does need ring training as she played up on the move.

VB(1)  1st & BV Knight's Ch Talanors Typically Specs and expressional looks every inch the Ch she is.  Bags of style on the stack and handling confirms she has a breed typical head, clean cut, super eyes and expression, uses her ears so well and is well bodied.  Coat shone with well being and her presence enhanced  the line up in the bitch challenge. 

PB(3/1) 1st & BP O'Neill's Astonblank Fern  what a promising little bitch this is.  Nicely balanced head, very good earset and carriage, enough neck, well bodied and a clean, flowing outline on the stack. Her coat glistened with well being and she moved out round the ring with reach and drive. 2nd H. Hotpot

LB(2/1  1st Gouldsborough's Talanours Typically Magic this bitch has a well balanced typical head with such expressive eyes. Not the best ear carriage, but her outline appeals as she uses her good neck to full advantage.  Nicely ribbed, smooth curving outline to a well set and carried tail. Her profile action is balanced and she keeps her shape as she steps light footedly round the ring.

OB(7)  1st & CC O'Oneill's Silvestria Sweet Bonnie I really fell for the charms of this very feminine bitch.  Loved her head and expression, well set and carried ears, super reach in neck and so well ribbed and bodied.  Ample bend of stifle and tight feet.  Her jacket shone and her profile action was so smooth, with lovely rear drive. Should gain her crown soon. 2nd & Res CC Sharpe's Ch Rosettia Keepsake JW another lovely example of this breed and I am unsurprised to see that she is already ennobled.  A class act, has an air of such quality, her expression is so bright and alive and her jacket sparkled with well being. 3rd Forshaw's Jandor Moonlight Melody.
