The Parson Russell Terrier Club Open Show 12 April 2015

Judge: Janine Dooner (Jappatin)

I would like to thank the Officers and Committee for their kind hospitality and also the exhibitors for their lovely entry, albeit I was a stand in judge on the day. On the whole size was good only a small amount tipping over the measure. Mouths were also good only two incorrect bites. However what was very worrying was the construction and conformation of a good few. Fronts were very questionable, this is not a Smooth Fox Terrier, nor is it a Jack Russell?? Rear angulation and good movement seemed very hard to find in many, and top lines and rise need to be addressed. That said my main winners were all very well balanced and made well with good movement.

Veteran Dog (3) 1. Walker’s MATSSTARS MIDNIGHT MIRACLE: Tan and white 9 years old, over the

measure and unable to span, strong head, good mouth, dark almond eye, good leathers well set. Strong neck leading to correctly placed shoulders. Correct coat and pelt, super front for such a strong dog, tight cat like feet and well angulated at the rear. Good length and rise and well set tail. Moved

with purpose and drive a credit to his owner in super hard condition for his age. 2. Highfield’s BRAD-

POLE BEAU OF GUESTWICK: Tan and white 8 years old, over measure and unable to span, strong head, good mouth, good coat and pelt, correct length and rise well let down hocks moved with drive

from the rear. 3. Hall’s FRITHGARTH JACK FROST: Tan and white 9 years old, up on the measure,

tight span. Nice almond dark eye and good leathers, good length ratio and rise. Good coat and pelt moved OK.

Minor Puppy Dog (1) 1. Bowden’s WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE AT CHELOWSIDE: What is not to like in-

deed a great name for this youngster, Black and white easy span correct size, superb head and the darkest of almond eyes, correct dentition .Good coat and pelt although still in puppy coat. Lovely reach of neck leading to a correctly placed shoulder. The tightest of elbows, correct slope to pasterns and the most fabulous cat like feet. Good length to height ratio and correct rise, tail well set on al-though carried a little over. Just enough rear angulation moved really well for one so young. Was very pleased to award him Best Dog Best Puppy in Show and Reserve Best in Show. One to watch for the future.

measure, good pelt. Out of coat today but still worthy of a first place. 2. Hall’s FRITHGARTH MIGHTY

Grange’s AFINLEA RATZER RINGLET: Tri smooth with a strong head, good mouth, good length of neck leading to well placed shoulder. Super coat and pelt. Tail well set on. This boy moved really well however he would benefit from a little less weight as it distorts his whole make, shape and outline.

Open Dog (5/1) 1. Vaughan’s CH PARRUSS COMACHE CHIEF JW: I have admired this boy for a

long time and this is the first opportunity to have gone over him and he didn’t disappoint. Although he has no exaggeration what so ever he is a super all round Parson.

condition not looking her 8 years at all, Good head with keen expression, perfect dentition, well placed leathers.

the measure with a good pelt and easy span, just coming out of coat today moved OK. 3. Neild’s

JUNIOR HANDLING CRITIQUES PRTC OPEN SHOW 12TH APRIL 2015

Judge Mrs. Margret Hooley

It was an honour to be asked to to judge the Junior Handling at the PRTC Open Show. All handlers were extremely good, looked extremely smart and were so very polite and considerate of their dogs. I particularly liked how they all congratulated each other.

6-11 yrs (3 entered)

1st Evie Tingate Very smartly dressed and lovely handler who did not put a step wrong throughout the exercise. Was aware of where I was at all times. Her dog was expertly han-dled to show to her best advantage, enabling me to judge the dog both on the ta- ble and movement. She listened to what I asked her to do and carried out the exercise with excellent precision. Well done, Evie and good luck in the Semi-Finals.

2nd Amelie Smith. Another young lady who was smartly dressed. She really had her hands full with her young puppy but nevertheless kept very calm and was not phased with what I asked her to do. She presented her dog well on the table and very expert- ly showed me her dogs teeth. On the floor she carried out the exercise satisfactorily. Presented her dog to me extremely well and kept smiling all the time. Well done, Amelie.

3rd Jessica Smith. Another young lady who was very smartly dressed. Her hands were full with this very lively young puppy which really challenged her handling skills but Jessica was not phased at all. Her presentation of her dog on the table was very good and very expertly

showed me her dogs teeth. On the floor she carried out the exercise satisfactorily. Jessica presented her dog to me very well and kept smiling all the time. Well done, Jessica

12 to 16 Years (2 entered)

1st Kizzy Porter. Very smartly dressed and very much in tune with her dog. She did not put a step wrong throughout the exercise and was very much aware of where I was at all times. The dog was presented very well on the table and carried out the floor ex- ercise perfectly. What a lovely handler she is and wish her good luck in the Semi-Fi- nals. Well done Kizzy

2nd Eleanor Jennings. Smartly dressed very much in tune with her dog. Another good han-dler who did not put a step wrong throughout the exercise and was very much aware of where I was at all times. She presented her dog very well on the table and listened carefully and carried out the floor exercise extremely well. Another lovely handler and wish her good luck in the Semi-Finals. Well done Eleanor.

Special award to Brad Stanway. Not eligible for Junior handling classes just yet but handled and showed his dog very well. Well done Brad.
