​

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 a Jack Russell?? Rear angulation and good movement seemed very hard to find in many, and toplines and rise need to be addressed. That said my main winners were all very well balanced and made well with good movement. 

​

​

The 25th anniversary show of this special club. Having been involved with judging Hunt terriers since the 60’s, I feel that the Parsons are one of my very special breeds and interest, and I have followed the progress of the breed closely over many years. The Club had put on a very special show with masses of prizes and other goodies. Thanks to the Officers and Committee for looking after me so well. 

​

BIS from 107 entries went to Mrs. Wilson’s Ch Pacolito Highly Prized at Dragonmoor. Just the type of ‘proper’ Parson I like and he stole the show. Res BIS and Best Bitch a first CC for Mrs. Wood’s Ardencote Triintimes, feminine yet very strong and as precise on the move as the male. Res BCC a relation in Mr and Mrs Chalkley’s Ardencote Tabitha sired by Ch Parruss Comanche Chief, a dog I have very much admired in the past. Res DCC another junior Dr. and Mr. Broadberry’s Foxthorn Huron at Ratscallion also sired by Comanche Chief I see. Another sire featuring a great deal was a terrier I haven’t seen I don’t think, was Ch Mister Bonamonty, he seems to crop up in a lot of the winners pedigrees. Lovely to see all the pedigrees printed in the back of the catalogue, so interesting. Other sires to do well with excellent stock were Ch Pacolito Phirstprize and Ch Alncroft Blackthorn. 

​

Minor Puppy Dog (10) 

1. Baker’s - Vadbakken’s Liquorice to Pacolito (Imp Nor); Good for size and proportions. Lovely head, correct eyes for placement and pigment, neat ears, well ribbed for age, sound and true moving. Very promising and he has a lovely length of stride in profile (BPD).

2. Bigland’s - Ardencote Tutor with Heythrop; Smart and I also admired his outline, topline correct with arch over loin, correct set of tail. Back skull a touch too broad and his ears could be carried closer to cheek. Good legs and feet, would prefer less ticking in coat, smart mover. 

3. Rimmer’s - Maanimain Doubleshot over Kylini (Imp Fin); A good sized pup, a mite short in neck and restricted in front extension. Well made body, correct rear, tail could be straighter. In good coat, moved well in rear. 

​

Puppy Dog (6) 

1. Minett’s - Pacolito Second Edition to Rountfelley; He could with about another 4oz of weight, but he is nicely made and extremely well muscled. Liked his head and ears, enough neck, well laid shoulders and good upper arm slope, but he moves a touch elbowy. Excellent body, good for size and slight arch over loin. Lovely type. 

2. Newman’s - Digaden Top Ace; Bigger dog, coat very ticked, tail set a wee bit too low. Typical head, slightly shorter muzzle, a good width to underjaw, firm legs and tidy working feet, reasonable mover.

3. Newport’s - Digaden Top Hat and Tails; Very long coupled and dips in topline, tail carriage could be better. Another with a good skull and muzzle, (ears too big though) excellent coat and a fair mover. 

​

Junior Dog (3) 

1. Broadberry’s - Foxthorn Huron at Ratscallion; Big enough and would like a flatter back skull and better placement and carriage of ears, good foreface and pigment, sound, free and active on the move, holding a lovely topline and perfect carriage of tail. Strong legs and feet. Looks a good working type. (Res CC). 

2. Wood’s - Ardencote Taber; Shows well, nicely bodied and ribs carried well back, good quarters and another perfect set and carriage of tail. Very tied in at the elbow and knitted in front movement. Ok in head, ears a touch high set. Good flat dense coat. Another with good legs and compact feet.

​

Graduate Dog (2) 

1. Farrow’s - Glencymreig Two in One; A touch on the big side, beautiful muscled and “hard as nails”. Pleasing head, ears a bit too high set, good neck, lovely stride in profile, feet could be tighter, shallower chest than 2nd, which I preferred. Excellent topline, tail set a little too high. Grand quarters and tight coat. 

2. Rutter’s - Boultmoor Badge of Honor; Again, he could be a size smaller. Rather thick in back skull and cheeks should be flatter. Super front and forechest, feet too flat, rather too deep in chest. Good behind and he too has a lovely length of stride in profile. Well handled and shown in lovely muscle. 

​

Post Graduate Dog (6) 

1. Yerbury’s - Beauforts Charles James; Good size and proportions of height to length, reasonable front although he could be truer coming towards, well made ribbing, topline and quarters. Has a lengthy stride in profile and good harsh coat. 

2. Stanway’s - Pacolito Patchez Betwixt Bramarno; Good size for a male, reasonable head, strong well rounded neck, feet rather open and flat. Good topline and length of back slightly longer than high. Ok in quarters. Would prefer less ticking in coat.

3. Nixon’s - Gonetoground Oscar Nominee; Tall and rather square in proportions and looks very leggy at present. He has a good stride, pleasing head and back skull, neat ears, and ok in rear. A really showy dog and easy span for all his height. 

 

Limit Dog (10) 

1. Newport’s - Sweetjumpers Gentle Twister (Imp Dnk) JW; Looked a little too low on leg but overall height ok. Good legs and feet, well rounded neck, good arch over loin and powerful impressive quarters.

2. Denby-Gardner’s - Tubize Mr. Wriggle at Ammanday; Too tall but maybe a better type overall! Just tied in coming towards. Ok in head and eyes, good neck, well coated and tail set ok. 

3. Sturdy’s Alncroft Imperial. Strong and fit, chest rather too deep and needs a little more length of neck. Good firm back and a fair mover. 

​

Open Dog (8) 

1. Wilson’s - Ch Pacolito Highly Prized at Dragonmoor; A class to be proud of! Good quality right down the line. Winner ideal type and proportions, pleasing head, excellent lay of shoulder, correct length of leg, super body and tail carriage. Precise in rear and lengthy stride in profile. Pasterns and feet could be stronger but I am being very picky! In lovely coat and muscle tone. (DCC & BIS). 

2. Whiteley’s - Sunrock and Russell Yard’s Made in America (Imp USA); Hard and fit, the most beautiful head and eyes! I thought he would be my winner but he just wasn’t stretching out in the same manner as above. Super size and proportions, excellent coat and tail set. Well muscled and that gorgeous head! 

3. Blair and Hadley’s- Cleeve Hill Kasper; Another top quality boy, not the head or ear set of winners, and a touch weak in foreface. Super ribbing and topline, neat impressive quarters, good legs and feet. Sound free mover. 

 

Veteran Dog (2) 

1. Farrow’s - Ch Glenholm Happy Go Lucky JW; 7 and half years old and ‘fit as a flea’. Enjoying himself, holding a lovely hard topline, well made body, pleasing head and expression. Nice set on of tail. (BV).

2. Rimmer’s - Ch/Ir/Int Ch Kylini Celtic Wizzard JW; 15 and half years and a real credit to his owner. Certainly enjoying his day out and moving with great zest. Lovely coat, and still has all his teeth! 

 

Minor Puppy Bitch (8) 

1. Collis’ - Riplington Dream Image; A nice class! Winner good for size and proportions of height to length. Well constructed, good body and chest not too deep. Sound free mover. Would prefer a little more bone.

2. Newport’s - Digaden Made to Measure; Has more bone than winner but not quite her outline in profile at the moment. She is probably growing “bum high” at present. Lovely head, neck and general front assembly, neat rear and a good mover. 

3. Baker’s - Rountfelley Bealongs to Pacolito; Just a touch square and needs more extension in front movement, pleasing head and neck, fair front, rise over loin and strong enough in rear for age. 

​

Puppy Bitch (4) 

1. Whiteley’s - Ruby Red of Degla; Out of coat on the day but head hair was hard. Super puppy, enchanting quizzical expression. Ideal size, good width and strength in rear. Well set tail but it comes over too much. Sound legs and feet and really true and precise on the move.

2. Baker’s - Pacolito American Edition; Good hard coat, also has lovely bone, good firm legs and tight feet. Correct depth and width of chest. Rising up too much over loin at the moment, and she was moving very wide going away. Good type and free stride in profile. 

3. Walker’s - Matsstars Mistletoe; Tall bitch, a little too square and “fox terrier like” in type. Holds herself nicely and is very sound on the move. Tail too curly and over back. 

​

Junior Bitch (5) 

1. Chalkley’s - Ardencote Tabatha; Good quality youngster, out of coat on the day, but top coat hard enough. Super neck and shoulders, flexible body, true mover, well set tail. A lovely bitch in the making. (Res CC).

2. Broadberry’s - Alncroft in Tune at Ratscallion; Excellent size and height to length ratio, her front is a little too swingy coming towards and withers could be higher. Well balanced for proportions, sound legs and feet, and she moved well in rear. 

3. Highfield’s - Bradpole Beauty; Tail comes over her back too far, pleasing head and ears carried close to cheeks. Strong lengthy neck, not too deep in chest and good over loin. Promising. 

 

Novice Bitch (3) 

1. Chalkley’s - Ardencote Tabatha.

2. Gray’s - Mudgi Meadowcoft Matilda; Tallish and very soft coated, but better proportions than 3rd. Tail set could be better. Quite a true mover and lovely personality.

3. Pell’s - Pipinsbrook Minnie the Minx at Olliebark; Low on leg for her body, good hard coat, ok in topline. Very weak foreface. Also moved quite truly. 

​

Graduate Bitch (4) 

1. Storey and Kelly’s - Pacolito Rumour Has It at Brizanrae; Stunning head with correct shaped eyes, strong slightly shorter foreface., flat wedge shaped skull, good neck and front. A bit flat over croup and would like more bone. Impressive mover all round.

2. Gray’s - Bradpole Big Bickies of Mudgi; Not the strength in fore face of above and could be a little harder in condition. Nicely boned for size, ok mover all round and showing well. 

3. Morton’s - Pacolito Phantacy Really nice bith of idea size, length and leg length. She spoilt her chances as her tail was clamped down. Pleasing head, strong and workmanlike throughout. 

​

Post Graduate Bitch (9) 

1. Tinegate’s - Milvinae Whats the Story; Maybe too tall, but I preferred her type, correct topline. A neat bitch, sound a free mover with a pleasing head and expression. Good bone and super quarters.

2. Bowden’s - Pacolito Mistress at Llyunamill; Shows superbly and so well put down. Sound up and back, but could have better laid shoulders and more extension in side gait. Liked her head and hard coat. Rather too square in body shape. 

3. Kannangara’s - Sherosco Christmas Rose; 7 year old, whose ears are not her fortune! She has good body construction, super size, correct tail carriage, not too high, and is in good condition. Precise mover too! 

​

Limit Bitch (14) 

1. Wood’s - Ardencote Triintimes; Her ears are a little too high set but head shape is good with plenty of strength and “wireyness” throughout her body. Excellent size and she is feminine yet strong, covers the ground in profile gait and her markings are ideal with the spot over the base of her tail. Lovely quality. (CC & RBIS).

2. Minett’s - Rountfelley Beajewelled; Very strong also and fit as they come! Pleasing head and neck, not too deep in chest. Ribs carried well back. Moved a touch close going away and she carries her head extremely high.

3. Newport’s - Digaden Taylor Made; Another of good type and quality, pasterns could be firmer and topline is a touch extreme. Good quarters well angulated without being overdone. She had excellent bone too. 

​

Open Bitch (10) 

1. Storey and Kelly’s - Pacolito Phardante; Nice feminine girl and in hard condition. Pleasing head, flat cheeks, neat ears. Sound mover both ways, well ribbed back, reasonable coat. Looked good for length of stride in profile and dead true up and down. Should make up I think. 

2. Nixon’s - GonetoGround Go for Gold; Another very feminine bitch of good make and shape. Her movement was ok but if she were in harder condition she would do better. Well handled to get the best out of her.

3. Baker’s - Ch Pacolito Phirstedition; Hard and fit, sound and true, rather a big bitch and I thought her very masculine, nothing to dislike about her construction or movement but just would make a fabulous dog! 

​

Veteran Bitch (9) 

1. Bigland’s - Heythrop Tiadrop; Some lovely “oldies” present. Winner certainly didn’t look like a veteran. Good size, strong fore face and width of bottom jaw. Good neck, ok in body and she moved out nicely.

2. Walker’s - Ammanday Apple; Not quite the shoulder set of winner but she certainly moves well and with some drive even at her age. Reachy neck, well bodied and in good nick. 

3. Neild’s - Janey of St Clair at Logierait; Older girl not disgraced. Standing she was shaking in the rear but didn’t shake moving. Must have been a real beauty some years back.
