National Terrier Championship Show. 7th April 2012.

1st Open bitch. Judge Miss Sally Leslie. (Risdene)

Critique:

1st CH Foxyard Better Behave At Emblehope (Ms D Bladen) Built on racey lines this scopey feminine b is well made throughout. I preferred the rib and underline of 2 but this one has a beautiful head with very typical expression, carried well on good neck and shoulders which flow into a pleasing topline which extends to her good tail. Muscular quarters and moving with ease and purpose she is a worthy champion.

Critique:

1st: CH Foxyard Better Behave at Emblehope (Miss D Bladen) A Worthy Champion Fit, racy, lovely outline and tail and moved freely and with drive on tight feet. I just wish I had had more tickets to give out on the day!

Critique:

2nd CH Foxyard Better Behave at Emblehope (Miss D Bladen) Very nice looking b/t, pushed hard and much the same critique as 1. Liked her feminine lines, she is very nicely made and it translates into precise, good movement. Just preferred the jacket of 1 today but another time…. RCC & RBIS.

2nd Open bitch.  Judge Marion Reeves.  (Baywillow)

Critique:

2nd: CH Foxyard Better Behave at Emblehope (Miss D Bladen) b/t. A bitch that I have long admired as she has the shape and proportions I most approve. Not quite the head qualities of 1, but a really lovely bitch.

Darlington Championship Show. 14th September 2012.

2nd Open bitch and Reserve CC.  Judge Mr David Hunt.  (Ottaswell)

Critique:

2nd: CH Foxyard Better Behave at Emblehope (Miss D Bladen) Another worthy Ch b/tan I have often watched ringside and is so good to handle. Strong short muzzle, scissor bite, neat ears and well placed eyes. Straight narrow front with lovely feet. She has well laid shoulders, good rib shape and excellent hindquarters showing good bend of stifle. In harsh coat she covers the ground well to show off her super topline and profile. She impressed me for quality. RCC.
