I enjoyed judging the breed.  They are always a challenge as type does vary but there were lots of well presented, good moving Toy Terriers here today. Thank you all for your good manners and sportsmanlike behaviour. There were a number of animals of both sexes I could have happily signed a CC for.  Thanks also to my excellent Steward Shaun Mathison.

Class 1474 VD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 4068 FRANCIS & BLATCHFORD, Mr & Miss Jw & W Ch Witchstone Not Apache On Me For Peopleton VW.  A dog I have admired in the past.  Elegant and compactly built.  His head is a good length with small dark eyes and decent ears.  He presents a lovely outline on the table and doesn’t disappoint on the move.  Shown in first class condition.  Best Veteran.

2nd: 4086 OAKDEN, Mr Anthony & CONWAY, Mr Paul Spawood Hey Mickey.  Very typey, not quite as shapely as the winner as yet.  Attractive, typical head and keen expression.  Rich colouring and moved soundly with good tail carriage.

Class 1476 JD (2 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 4091 ROSKELL, Miss C Witchstone Silent Wish With Rahima.  A good quality youngster who is presented and shows to best advantage. Well balanced and quite compact with a good body, depth of chest and decent cut up.  Moved out well with sa flowing, easy stride.

Class 1477 PGD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 4080 INCH, Mrs C & INCH, Miss R Edalene Upside Down JW. A good moving dog with particularly pleasing hind action with some drive evident. His head is perhaps a shade too broad but it is a good length and he has small, sparkling eyes.  Presents a very pleasing outline at all times. 


Class 1478 LD (4 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 4094 WINES, Mr H Etruria Say The Word.  Not a big dog but he is masculine and elegant with a real stamp of quality.  Lovely head and expression, good depth of chest. Gleaming black and rich chestnut coat with defined thumbprints.  Very shapely and he too has particularly good hind action. Exuberant and happy. 
2nd: 4067 FORSYTHE, Mr Richard & PEVY, Mr Ryan Kikuchi Hollywood Avec Richpin Jw.  Ultra smart and he will always command a second look as he is shapely with defined cut up and good tailset. Very attractive head and expression. Very good, fluid profile action.
3rd: 4085 OAKDEN, Mr Anthony & CONWAY, Mr Paul Spawood Run For Cover

2nd: 4060 BENNETT, Mr Robert & BENNETT, Mrs Moira Ch Witchstone Place Your Bets At Capledrae JW ShCE.  Reserve CC.  Close up and he too has a pleasing head, quite refined and elegant.  Good body and outline with strong muscular hindquarters.  Good coat, thumbprints are not quite as well defined as the winner but he is top quality.

Class 1480 VB (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 4077 INCH, Mrs C & INCH, Miss R Edalene Never Let Me Go VW.  Shapely and feminine, pleasing head, good body and shown in very good coat which gleamed in the sunshine.  Very sound and typical on the move. In the challenge for Best Veteran the dog’s very clearly defined colours and terrier attitude gave him the edge. 

Class 1481 PB (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 4072 HALL, Ms D & OAKHAM, Mr Anthoney Spawood Proud Mary.  Elegant and feminine with an attractive head and expression.  Well laid shoulders, pasterns could be firmer.  Good topline with decent cut up.  Showed well.

Class 1482 JB (5 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 4065 DIXON, Mrs Lisa Jane & DIXON, Mr Graeme Lasagesse Kashmir.  Best Puppy. I hear that she was fourth in the Toy Puppy Group and won the Eukanuba Puppy Stakes today.  Well done.  Very shapely and well schooled.  Good colours with definite thumbprints. Lovely head and expression.  She should have a bright future. 
2nd: 4090 REEVE, Mrs P Gillings Future Star.  Smart and she too is shapely and elegant.  Lovely rich tan, glossy coat.  Sound and typical on the move but not quite the precision of the winner.
3rd: 4073 HANCOCKS, Mr Graham & BAILEY, Miss Lynn Witchstone Silent Whisper

Class 1483 PGB (4 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 4070 GOODFELLOW, Mrs Maria Nasabe Royal Rose Airambech.  Reserve CC. Soundly made and beautifully balanced, she presents a lovely outline.  Attractive head and expression, good ears.  Rich tan with thumbprints and pencilling. She impressed on the move.
2nd: 4083 MARSDEN, Mrs Clare Galvizach Royal Amethyst Of Regalriver.  Very typical and she is a good shape with and attractive head and expression. I think she disliked the wind today and wasn’t giving of her best.  Moved soundly.

Class 1484 LB (4 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 4084 OAKDEN, Mr Anthony & CONWAY, Mr Paul Amalric Dream Dollies.  I see she is sired by the BOB winner and she certainly has some of his qualities. Attractive head with good ears.  Clean neck and shoulders.  Presents a good outline and she impressed on the move.  Rich colours with good markings.

1st: 4064 DIXON, Mrs Lisa Jane & DIXON, Mr Graeme Lasagesse Black Magic Woman JW.  CC, her third I understand, congratulations.  I thought she was rather lovely.  Sound and elegant, good ears and sparkling dark eyes. Nicely arched neck. Very good forehand with deep chest and ribbing.  Accurate and positive on the move with an easy “extended trot”.  Rich tan with thumbprints and pencilling. 
2nd: 4069 FRANCIS & BLATCHFORD, Mr & Miss Jw & W & LEONARD, Witchstone Trouble Brewing At Peopleton JW.  Another high quality bitch.  Very typey and shapely, nicely angulated hindquarters.  Sound on the move but not the animation of the winner.  Good colours and markings.
