I would like to thank the Miniature Bull Terrier Club Committee for inviting me to judge their very special Christmas Show. What a welcome, a huge banner with my picture and the entry displayed outside, just in case I thought I was in the wrong place! The hall was decorated to within an inch of its life, looking most festive and the gaggle of “helper elves” was a sight to behold. Lunch was also a super affair, a full Christmas turkey dinner with all the trimmings. I feel a new bench mark in show lunches has been set. The arrival of Father Christmas caused a stir and he did a sterling job of judging the junior handling.
I would also like to thank my most efficient ring steward, Gordon for all his help.
The entry was good but sadly the number of animals absent was high. Although this is a miniature version of the bull terrier, a number of animals were over the measure although many were perhaps just an inch or two over (sorry I still work in old money). Good expressions were also lacking due to “round eyes” but on the plus side there was an abundance of good movers, lots of good mouths and super temperaments.

1st ALOUKANNA HOLD YOUR FIRE (MR M DODWELL)
A very typy, cobby black brindle dog with a lovely head, super curved profile and filled right up. Good length of neck, short back and well angulated hindquarters. He is slightly over the measure. Enough substance and bone for his size. His movement is parallel both ways and he covers the ground with power and drive. All in all he is a very well presented, smart chap with a big personality.

1st GRANDOPERA FRANKENWEENIE (MR & MRS N J LITTLE)
Compact white dog with a strong, well filled head. Incorrect mouth. His expression was spoilt a little by a round eye rather than the classic triangular shape. Neat, well placed ears. He has good bodylines, short backed with well angulated quarters. Would have liked to see a bit more bone. He moved extremely well, wide and parallel from the rear, covering the ground with power and drive.
Post Graduate Dog Entries 3 Absentees 1
1st LAFENICE JOEY TRIBIANI (MISS K A LEWIS)
Very smart, elegant white dog. Pleasing profile to his head but a little narrow in the muzzle when viewed from the front. Lovely neat, well placed ears. On the downside he has a mouth fault and he carries his tail a little too high. Shapely bodylines with a nice tuck up give a pleasing picture when viewed from the side. He has plenty of bone for his size and he moved out with pace, parallel both going away and coming back.
2nd AURMARU HOMEWARD BOUND (MR D J RATCLIFF)
White dog with black markings on both ears. His head was long but lacking a little in profile. He has a perfect mouth. Would have liked to see a bit more reach of neck. His bodylines will improve with maturity and he was shown and presented well.

Tall and shapely brindle and white dog with good bone. Long and well shaped head, nice profile and a perfect mouth. Very neat and well placed ears which he failed to use to best effect. Lovely, straight front with enough bone and well angulated quarters. He had good, tight cat like feet. His movement was a little close behind but he covered the ground with pace and drive. He was handled well and shown in beautiful condition RBD
2nd AMINIRUMPUS RED PANDA (MR & MISS J & S J KOCABA & WHITE)

1st CH IR CH BADLESMERE BRABAZON IN KOFYN (MR & MISS M & M PRESLAND & VINCENT)
Well bodied white dog who at nearly 11 years of age had a very sprightly bounce in his step. Clearly enjoying his day out, he moved out very well with plenty of drive. Strong, pleasing head and well placed ears. Short backed with good bone and lovely well shaped hindquarters. It is a particular pleasure to see the “old ones” being exhibited as they seem to enjoy all the attention.
2nd EL ADON-M WILD FAMY (ATCAT00915CZE) (MISS KATINKA MAJOR)
Lovely bodylines and in great condition for eight and half years old. Would have liked more profile and a better expression. He had nicely shaped hindquarters. An excellent showman with a very sweet disposition.
