​

The Chase Leisure Centre at Cannock provided a worthy venue for the Parson Russell Club's third Ch show. Organised with flair & expertise by the hard working officers & committee. My thanks for the wonderful day they gave me, the cake, the gift & the card are all greatly treasured.

The only sad note, the absence of the much-revered president who died recently, before judging was observed in his memory. great loss to the club & the breed. A minute's silence.

A splendid & absorbing entry of 151 dogs, only 21 absentees. There was a great atmosphere round the ring & the ringside appreciation of the winners. The generous in their enthusiastic hunting cries for the CC winners sent a thrill through the hall. The exhibitors were most sporting & it was altogether a grand day. I thoroughly enjoyed my judging although I did not find it easy. This is a working terrier & must be judged from that perspective & not that of a show dog, it is a working dog in a show situation. If this is lost the breed will change & not for the better. Two monorchids & one wry mouth, only one who did not want to be handled. I hope topping & tailing is not going to become the norm. The breed looks at its best free standing.

Please do train the dogs to show without titbits! Some were quite difficult to examine on the table as the handlers would stuff food in their mouths. I found some heads untypical with forefaces far too long & some eyes too highset & wide apart. giving a strange 'frog' look. Far too many small teeth, many in narrow, weak underjaws; a working terrier needs large strong teeth well set in a strong jaw.

The lower jaw should be well developed with a firm chin, nothing else will hold large, useful teeth. As to coat colour, while most were white with the desired markings on head & root of tail, there were several with body markings & others with a lot of flecking in body coat. Size was variable. Many of the minor puppy dogs 1 thought far too big, just hope they do not grow on any more! At the top end of the scale I found some very nice Russells & decisions were close. In one or two classes I was spoilt for choice. I was very satisfied with the line-ups for the CC.,DCC & BIS was Ch Mindlen Hoolet of Mulhross from veteran, looking & moving more like a 2-year-old than a dog of 8 years! Newcomers wishing to start in the breed can do little better than study his size, movement. make, shape, head properties & superb muscling & take them a blueprint for all that is best in the breed. Here is a good looker that could fulfil all the requirements of the breed, well built but narrow enough to go to ground, balanced & with enough leg to run with a horse, & with that eagerness & intelligence in his eye & appearance so needed in the working terrier. BCC & RBIS, Trumpmoor Exmoor Antic, a real hard bitten bitch, fit & ready to work the next day. Just the size & overall body proportion with ribs well back to a strong, neat loin, nicely boned, tough feet & a well proportioned head with intelligent eye. This award I was told made her up congratulations & BP, Holdobur He's A Cracker at Windynook, he could live up to his name. The right size for age & looks all over a workman. Bone in proportion to body size, clean skull, nicely set cars, foreface of correct length, smart mover, intelligent eye, promising.
