BTCWA Champ Show November 2018

THE BULL TERRIER CLUB OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA INC

10TH NOVEMBER 2018 - Championship Competition

 JUDGE: Mr DAVID ALEXANDER (USA)


Many thanks to the Bull Terrier Club of WA for your great hospitality and thoughtfulness which made our time with you so enjoyable. We had a great time at the show and at the ‘Meet and Greet’. We particularly appreciated the composition of your logo for the event, since it included references to our backgrounds in the theme. I was particularly pleased to receive the inscribed ‘plinth’ as a gift. I enjoy these as reminders of the shows, and this one will have very pleasant memories.

Before I get to the critiques, a few general observations. Both while judging and while reviewing my notes, I repeatedly saw consistency in several features - length of head, soundness of construction and movement, and height. These are all positive elements that deserve comment and for which you, as breeders, are to be commended.

Length of Head: There is a current trend towards shorter foreface in the breed so that heads, while well-filled, are becoming more triangular rather than ovoid in shape. I kept remarking on the pleasing length of head in the exhibits, so I was pleased to see that you are avoiding this trend in your breeding as evidenced by the entry at the show. Good length of head is a characteristic worth preserving.

Construction and Movement: Likewise, there were many exhibits that demonstrated correct construction with sound movement. While sound front construction, with well set shoulders was frequently in evidence, I was particularly pleased to see strength in thigh muscles allied to well-turned stifles. To me, this is an important feature fundamental to our breeds’ original purpose. Kudos for paying attention to this disappearing trait.

Height: It would be remiss of me to not comment on my ‘soap box’ issue of height. It was increasing height particularly on the part of several Australian bred dogs that prompted my research and subsequent article on this topic back in 2006. I was therefore very pleased to see that this trend has not continued and that the dogs shown on this occasion were of an acceptable size. Continued vigilance is required however. To be clear, this does NOT mean breeding dogs of less substance; it means restricting the height of our dogs so that their terrier nature is not lost.

You are fortunate to have such a great facility for your show, and in general the quality of the dogs matched the venue.
Thank you to all the exhibitors who made my judging experience very enjoyable.
