Southern Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club

PD (2) 1 Shore’s Swanwillow Sea Captain, solidly built mustard, good head & expression, correct coat, well presented. Good topline, but moved a little close behind; 2 MacPherson’s Dawsholme Wee Darick, pepper boy with a good head & pleasing expression. Failed in topline & didn’t move well at all. JD (3,1a) 1 Pallister’s Inzievar Gold Reserve, a very masculine mustard boy, strong head with good expression, good length of neck on lovely shoulders, leading to a good arch over the loin, an excellent topline which he kept on the move, probably the best hind action of the entire entry. To be critical, I would like a little more length; 2 Hunter’s Etsill Scapa Flow, pretty pepper boy. Failed to 1 in movement, being very close behind. Strength of head. ND (2) 1 I Gold Reserve; 2 Miller’s Puddockswell Moon Shadow at Dryfevalley, pepper boy of nice size, decent head & expression. Failed to 1 in topline & movement. PGD (2) 1 Hansford’s Cassencarrie Bonnie Lad, lovely pepper boy with great head & expression & good topline. Coat rather sparse & he is rather high on the leg & needs to move better behind; 2 Brain’s Avonview Bein Bhreac, mustard boy with strong enough head & pleasing expression. Rather flat on top which made his movement difficult to assess by hopping around the ring. LD (5) 1 Hulme’s Vistca Vian of Hendell, mustard dog, as smart as paint, took my eye straight away, strong head, very masculine expression, in good coat & well presented, nice length of neck on good shoulders, good topline, which he kept on the move, which he did well both ways. CC; 2 Denham’s Scottsbairn Duke Of Ross, well known pepper dog with strong head & expression, well constructed, good topline. Moved a little close in front. RCC; 3 Skitt & Jones’ Vistca Vincent. OD (1) A

PB (5,1) 1 Shore’s Swanwillow Sea Breeze, well constructed pepper bitch who moved better in front than her brother, won this class on maturity & type, pleasing head. Good topline, but needs to tighten behind. BP; 2 Denham’s Kirkhalin Starlight Phoebe, raw pepper baby, full of promise, moved quite well for her first outing, pleasing expression. Just needs time; 2 Ray’s Dentgate Sweet Symphony. JB (5,3) 1 Chapman-King & Buist’s Inzievar Royal Silver, lovely pepper bitch, right out of the top drawer, great head & expression, correct topline which she kept on the move. A little unsettled, but on another day will take top honours; 2 Pearson’s Norfolkhaven Black Tulip, lovely head & expression, but moves too close behind for a bitch with such good conformation. NB (1) 1 Hunter’s Etsill Inganess Bay, sweet pepper bitch, could be stronger in head & have a little more neck to finish off topline. Moved OK. PGB (5,1) 1 Chapman-King & Buist’s Inzievar Gold Touch, top notch mustard bitch, best of heads & expression, great topline kept on a faultless move, coat just coming. Her overall outline is virtually flawless, she will go on to greater things. CC & BOB; 2 Hunter’s Puddockswell Hootin’ Annie at Etsill, pleasing mustard bitch, head could be stronger & she missed out on topline. Although she moved well; 3 Morriss’ Cassencarrie Miss Grace at Pennywave. LB (2) 1 Morris’ Pennywave Amaryllis, lovely mustard bitch, well presented & in good coat & condition, excellent head & expression, better topline of the two which she kept while moving well. Not finished yet, just needs a little more time; 2 Denham’s Dentgate Serendipity, solid bitch, but lost out to 1 in movement. Would prefer a stronger head & free hind action. OB (3) 1 Tinsley’s Aus Ch Jollygaze Doris Day at Cloverwood, a strong, cobby, pepper bitch, strong head & good topline, which she kept on the move, great coat & presentation. Could move better behind & to be highly critical, I think she could be a little more feminine in expression. RCC; 2 Jarvis’ Mosterlada Shooting Star, mustard bitch, different type to 1. Lacking a little in topline & moving a little close behind; 3 Motler’s Wazzly Aphrodite.
