star19.gif picture by mckyjoTusselstaff Black Fury- Critique- Craig Dillon (Cragails)

Another quality B/brindle bitch. Lovely head , clearly feminine but lacking nothing. Terrific expression with dark eye & an alertness that followed my every move around the ring ( made me smile). Clean front of good width and adequate depth to fore chest , nice weight of bone and good feet. Good rib and taper when viewed from above and a lightness in the loin that enhanced.
Nicely balanced when viewed in profile , Body (length and depth) balanced to leg length and overall height. Showing a little more angulation in the rear assembly than 1&2 but her movement was true both fore and aft.

star19.gif picture by mckyjoTusselstaff Little Cracker - Critique- Craig Dillon (Cragails)

Lovely bitch ( litter sister to 3rd in previous class) carrying a little more substance than her sibling but still distinctly feminine. Terrific head , defined stop , piercing expression & correct proportion of skull to muzzle . Large teeth with good bite and pronounced cheek muscles. Straight front of good width ( preferred her front to 1) and showing good bone down to tight feet. Viewed from above she showed good rib ( length and width) providing taper from shoulder thru rib to light loin. In profile she is very balanced , leg length compared to height and body depth, and height to overall length balance out nicely. She has good topline and pleasing underline, the latter (as with 1) accentuated by her lovely condition. Her rear quarters were well angulated ( perhaps just a tad over ). A good moving bitch both fore and aft and in profile . A very close decision between 1 & 2.

And what a little cracker she is! Easily the winner of this class and BB here today. Smashing head shape clean and defined throughout. Super fronted supported on good feet, nicely ribbed and short in the back and coupling. She is a tad overangulated behind. Only thing lacking for me is a bit of animation and enthusiasm but that is never going to detract from her qualities.
Best In Show.

Blk brindle strongly headed bitch with a bit more head definition than is my ideal but she is full of type. Strong in the underjaw and tight in the lip reasonably dark in the eye, head splits well with good muscle. Straight in the forequarters and up on her pasterns. Balanced with lift. Brisket to elbow, well tucked up and light in the loin, good spring of rib, good rear angulation, short close coat. Angulation provides great support -you could push down on that front and back structure all day, good body definitions, well muscled. Moved efficiently. RCC

All the attributes of the 1st apply to this bitch - it was very very close, I just noticed that on the move she was throwing her left front leg ever so slightly. Asked her to move again and it confirmed it to me – spoke to the handler and told her why I made my decision in the placing and she told me the bitch had injured her shoulder a week or two previously. This cost her dearly today but still a real nice bitch, just needs to rest the injury – should do some winning in the future.

TUSSELSTAFF BLACK FURY – Another baby I was taken with. She wasn’t as together development wise as the two that beat her in the previous class, I describe her in my notes as a raw baby. I adored her headshape, clean, chiselled and a super expression enhanced by lovely rose ears. Time is on her side and I will watch her with interest in the future.

Super clean straight front with length to forearm, well angulated shoulders, good length to rib and body with rear quarters to match. She moved with ease and was excellently handled.
