Championship Show  5th December 2022
Judge Julian Barney


Many thanks to the officers & Committee fot the invitation to judge their club championship show. It was a real honour to judge the breed for the first time as they have been such a large part of my early life. It was good to meet old friends and judge some lovely exhibits, so many thanks to exhibitors for entering and taking their time in preparing their dogs. Having had Welsh Terriers for many years I can only have admiration for the time and effort invested to get an Airedale ready.
There was a super atmosphere around the ring and everyone seemed to enjoy their day out, at I beleive this new venue.Many thanks to my steward as well for keeping thr ring running so well.
In general I felt that heads are something to be worried about. Skulls were wide causing them to look very cheeky and loose that balance between skull and foreface, which in turn looses that subtlr chiselling under the eye. Some had a round eye as well and in some cases houndy ears or set incorrectly. Movement should also be considered as rear drive was lacking.Coat & Colour were good

South of England Airedale Terrier Club Championship Show
5th December 2021

It was an honour to be invited to judge this Breed Club Championship Show, and I had looked forward to it.  The committee had worked very hard to make the hall covid secure with a well laid out ring.  Many thanks to Secretary Bobby Haly and her team and to my stewards Manuel Fernandez and Rowland Turner.

Unfortunately, some of the exhibits were not happy in the hall and this affected their placings.  I am sure that they will do better with more experience in indoor rings.

Best in Show was the bitch Ch/Ir Ch Bambusa Follow The Dream,

Reserve Best in Show a bitch at only her second show Peggillo Elf On A Shelf,

Best Opposite the junior dog Muliebrity Wilderness, his first CC but he is full of type and quality and scored in size and coat to win over the Reserve CC Ch/Ir Ch Bambusa So Noble

Best Puppy in Show was the dog Jokyl Daily Special and he may well live up to his name.

Best Veteran Ch Muliebrity Rilletta JW ShCM still looks like the champion she is and was one of the best movers of the day.

Special Aspirant D/B (1,0)

1) Blackburn Jecadie Just Spicy Sparkler for Lumosadie 4 years old bitch who needs a little more leg to balance her.  Flat skull, strong foreface.  Can have a little more rib.  Sound mover, good tailset.  Not in her best coat.

MPD (2,1)

1) Brown Jokyl Daily Special 7 months, full of terrier spirit, with excellent coat texture.  Cobby with good tailset.  Long clean head.  Ears could be neater.  Dark eye.  Excellent mover.  I liked his substance, coat texture and colours.  A good prospect BP

PD (1,0)

1) Pickering Stargus Alidandini 6 months raw youngster who is a little long for balance at the moment and needs to spring in ribs.  He has a long head which could be a little cleaner in skull, good eye.  Excellent rear and rear movements.  Needs time for coat, very good temperament.

JD (1,0)

1) Hampton & Hall Muliebrity Wilderness 15 months high quality and full of breed type.  Short with good ribs and chest and excellent topline and tail.  Excellent coat texture.  Excellent head and eye.  Very good rear.  Front movement can firm up a little but he pleased me enormously and took the CC.

ND (1,0)

1) Day Vivavick Zeemans Held 4-year-old strong dog of good leg length and balance.  Sound moving, strong head which is a bit deep through.  Excellent temperament.  Not in show coat.

PGD (2,1)

1) Day Vivavick Zeemans Repeat

LD (2,0)

1) Stargus Golden Arrow 2-year-old strong dog who is a little long for balance and this shows in his topline on the move.  Excellent coat and colours and good rear movement.  Masculine head of good length.

2) Day Vivavick Zeemans Repeat

OD (5,1)

1) Gregg Ch/Ir Ch Bambusa So Noble 4-year-old short backed, excellent head and best movement of the class.  Not quite in his best coat. I would prefer a little more of him all through.  RDCC

2) Turner Ch Chrillee Maximus The Cool Liked his size and head, good coat.  Just not the topline or front action of winner.  Good head and eye.  Presented in great form.

3) Toulson Toulsyork Rolo Coaster

V D/B (3,1)

1) Fernandez & Purnell Ch Muliebrity Rilletta JW ShCM 10-year-old wonderful veteran and a superb mover.  Lovely clean head, well ribbed, in excellent coat.  In superb condition, full of spirit.  Strongly made and full of quality.

2) Steinke Temtiz African Flame Lily ShCM 10-year-old a little short on the leg and not as firm in topline as the winner.  Clean feminine head and good eye.  Perfect, clean dentition.

JB (5,2)

1) Hilton Touessroks Giltz And Glam 17-month-old full of type and most forward in body in this class and did just enough to win as she did not like the floor.  Good length of head which could be a little cleaner in skull.  Good ears and eye.  Sound moving.  Presented in good form.

2) Hampton & Hall Muliebrity Summer Sun 15-month-old confident in the class and a touch more feminine in head but not as forward in rib and body.  Good eye and expression.  Can firm up in front.

3) Curran & Swash Jokyl Ladybird my winner standing but unhappy on the floor.

NB (6,2)

1) Hampton & Hall Muliebrity Ocean Bay 17-month-old of good size and proportions, deep bodies and with good coat and colours.  Clean head with strength in foreface.  Clean shoulders, well ribbed and with good tailset.  Confident and clean moving.

2) Haly Vivavick Ad Libitum 2-year-old a little stronger in skull then the winner but she had a short back, good coat and colour and was sound and confident on the move.  Had a big pull in body and coat over

3) Brand Branded Ruby Red

PGB (3,1)

1) Sinclair Hughes & Pearce Peggillo Elf On A Shelf NAF 4-year-old who really took the eye when she came in the ring.  Top size but quality all through and with superb topline and high tail set.  Clean head, dark eye and presented in top form.  Moved well and was full of confidence RBCC.

2) Richardson Glentops Naught But Nice 2-year-old a touch short on the leg for balance but I liked her feminine head, good expression, marred a little by ears which could be neater.

LB (7,1) good class with quality throughout

1) Turner Crillee Carry On My Baby 2-year-old of lovely proportions and balance.  Feminine all through but with good chest and ribbing.  High set tail.  Long feminine head.  Dark eye could be a little smaller.  Just a touch close in rear movement on the day as she was in season and this held her back in the challenge.

2) Lee Stargus Sea Of Gold 2-year-old slightly stronger bitch who is full of type.  Superb coat texture and colours.  Long head with good eye and expression.  Excellent rear action.  I preferred balance of the winner.

3) Toulson Toulsork Llinsaire Opal

OB (6,0) Another class deep in quality

1) Gregg Ch/Ir Ch Bambusa Follow The Dream 4-year-old, not the biggest of bitches but everything in proportion and full of quality.  Her head is clean, of good length, with good eye and ears.  Short and cobby and with perfect topline and tailset.  Accurate mover, never losing her shape.  Had ring presence BCC & BIS

2) Collins Colldale All Or Nothing 2-year-old looked my winner standing for size and she looked a picture with her long feminine head and good eye.  Clean neck of good length.  Plenty of ribcage and chest.  On the move she had a good stride but lost her topline and this detracted from the picture, when she came to challenge for RBCC was not as settled – a great pity.

3) Edwards Sharedon Simply Susan At Smockalley
