Lancashire Heeler

I was grateful for the strong entry across all breeds despite the weather. It is an honour when exhibitors choose to enter under me and allow me the privilege of going over their dogs. All exhibits presented with correct bite and dentition in good condition; I did not encounter any poor mouths. My sincere thanks to my two ring stewards, who kept the ring running smoothly and remained cheerful throughout.

Every show is a learning experience for all involved, and I thoroughly enjoyed my day with you.

Class 260 JD/B (1,0)
1st: 384 MOORE’s Foxthyme Unbelievable: 14‑month‑old black and tan junior male of good proportion and bone. Pleasing head with skull and muzzle on parallel planes; erect ears and wide‑set dark almond eyes giving a lively expression. Moderate neck flowing into a firm, level topline. Tail high set, carried in a slight curve over the back. Well‑laid shoulder with elbows close to the ribcage. Straight forelegs with pasterns turning slightly out, typical for the breed. Well‑sprung ribs, muscled thighs, well‑turned stifles and moderate rear angulation. Small, firm feet. Free, happy mover. I particularly appreciate his ear carriage, developing muscle tone throughout, and firm level topline complementing his masculine profile. BD,BOB.

Class 262 OD/B (1,0)
1st: 383 BELLINGER’s Foveaux Jean Genie At Heelstone Jw: 17‑month‑old black and tan female with a feminine outline and a pretty head. Proportionate head with flat, wide skull and parallel muzzle; eyes of good shape and set wide, complementing her alert, lively expression. Well‑muscled neck flowing smoothly into a level topline. Tail set on a gently curved croup. Forechest of good width, good shoulder, and forelegs close to the ribs with slight outward turn acceptable for the breed. Ribcage of good depth, extending well back. Hindquarters pleasing, with muscled thighs for her age, good turn of stifle and low‑set hocks. Firm feet. On the stand she wags constantly. On the move her gait was brisk; she’s happy and attuned to her handler throughout. BB,RBOB.
