BEST OF BREED & BEST PUPPY Sawheaton Kiss From A Rose  OWNED BY Mr and Mrs Francis

Many thanks to the committee of West Midland Terrier Society for inviting me to judge the SCWT classes at this years show. I enjoyed going over the small but nonetheless quality entry.  Class 97 PUPPY DOG/BITCH (1) 1st Francis’ Sawheaten Kiss from a Rose. Very pretty and feminine bitch of 9 months. Correct size, compact short coupled construction. Nice head and enchanting wheaten expression with a good mouth and correct bite. Good angulations fore and aft. Moved straight both ways. Handled well. Her personality won through and I could not deny her the BOB and BPIB  Class 98 JUNIOR DOG/BITCH (1 abs)  Class 99 POST GRADUATE DOG/BITCH (3, 2abs) 1st Wardles’ Denzilly He’s Got the Look. A dog I have judged before. Maturing nicely at 19 months. Very compact frame and well balanced. Coat coming on nicely with good colour and wave coming. Good head with neat ears and excellent bite. Movement a little eratic today.  Class 100 OPEN DOG/BITCH (2) 1st Jones’ Saffini Suga Pie Honey Bunch. Lovely 2.5 years bitch of correct size. Beautiful coat with nice wheaten colour and wave. Good shoulders, correct angles and enough neck. Tail on top with some behind. Pigment ok. Moved well but would prefer a little more ring presence. RBOB 2nd Barrett’s Saffini Shining Star. Litter brother to above. Slightly larger boy with strong masculine head. Coat of good colour but would like to see more wave. Dark eye and pigment. Correct scissor bite. Moved soundly enough but preferred the overall balance of 1st.  Judge Brian Moles (Celtannia)
