Critiques

Ch Satiety Horace Whitesox ~ "Buster"
~1994 SBTCV Champ Show - Mr Warren Goldsworthy (NSW)~

“A really nice dog, very good ears - nice and square in front, nice dark eyes, good mouth, well up to size.”

~1994 SBTCV Open Show - Mrs Joyce Shorrock (UK)~

“Black brindle, correct size, well boned forequarters, good skull and cheek bumps, strong muzzle, near ears well placed, a neat package.”

~1996 SBTCV Champ Show - Mrs Mary Pedler (Vic)~

“Lovely typey dog with good head, nice ears.  Good front and topline. Moved very well.  Shown in excellent condition.”

~1996 Maryborough All Breeds - Mrs Judy Horton (Vic)~

“ A wonderful animal with a classic head and expression so rarely found these days with correct cheek structure. Frontally placed round eye, good stop and strong underjaw.  He also had the correct front structure, short pear shaped body and pump handle tail.  He was the eventual Group Winner and also took out Runner Up Best In Show.”

~1996 British Terrier Champ Show - Mrs Les Aspin (UK)~

“ Quality balanced dog, not overdone, good head, ears used well, good eye and bite, good neck and shoulder, clean backline, good spring of rib, good depth of quarters, put down in very good order, moved and handled well both ways.”

~1996 SBTCV Champ Show, Minor In Show - Mary Pedler (Vic)~
“Well put together typey  puppy, with good bone. Lovely head, good topline, good feet and moved very well.”
~1997 British Terrier Champ Show, Open Dog Class  -  Les Aspin (UK)~
“Dark Brindle, very good head and expression, well placed eye and ear, sound bite, clean well boned front, good neck and shoulder, good depth of body and well ribbed, put down in very good order, moved and handled very well.”
~1999 British Terrier Champ Show, Open Dog Class - Juanita Hobbs (South Africa)~
“Very smart black/brindle dog. A worthy winner of yet another very strong class which was tightly contested particularly between the 1st and 2nd placed dogs. Classic head shape, broad and deep from any angle. Good bite with large teeth in a darkly pigmented mouth. Eyes dark and round and looking straight ahead. Ears correctly placed and of good shape, although a little bit large for my taste - try not to attract attention to them. Try stacking him on a loose lead and thus discouraging him from putting his ears up - his lovely head won on its own merits! He was beautifully handled apart from this point. Good pigmentation all round. Tidy clean front with lovely shoulder angulation and good bone. Beautifully muscled hindquarters that would benefit with a little more bend of stifle. Movement very good, keeping his straight front and driving well from the rear. Maintains level topline on the move. A most virtuous dog excelling against very tough competition.”

~2002 SBTCV Champ Show, Opposite Puppy In Show - Mrs Clare Lee (UK)~
"Red pied. Very typey young dog. Very good head piece - short and deep, correct ratios of foreface and skull, pronounced stop and round well set eyes. Good quality of bone. Well balanced body, level top line. A bit straight in stifle but did not affect his movement. A good prospect.
~2003 SBTCV Champ Show, 3rd Australian Bred Dog Class - Mrs Carol Smith (Sth Aust)~
"Red/white pied very typey young dog who I felt did not yet have the maturity of the first two.  Lovely head with dark round eyes, good pigmentation, bone, well balanced body, level topline.  Moved and handled well."
~SBTCV Champ Show, March 2004  Dog CC, Runner up Best in Show - Mr Alan Mitchell (UK)~
Red and white dog with super head and a really dark eye (difficult to achieve in a red) well-ribbed, and short-coupled.  The front is a gun-barrel  straight with well padded feet on the end.  The body proportioned and in balance and it moved with drive.  The feet didn't turn out in the ideal fraction but that could not detract from a super and standard dog.. Dog CC, RUNNER UP BEST IN SHOW
ACT and District SBT Club Champ Show, April 2004, Dog Challenge - Mrs Juanita Crawford (South Africa)

A superb dog, easy winner of the class.  Beat the 2nd place on rear drive, bluntness of muzzle, size and condition of teeth, strength of loin and overall substance.  Super movement showing plenty of drive from the rear, whilst keeping his topline level.  Best the Reserve Challenge dog on rear musculation and strength of underjaw.  Lost out to the Challenge and Reserve Challenge Bitches on forequarter angulation in the Best In Show Challenge.

Linwest Good Golly ~ "Jade"
~2002 SBTCV Champ Show, Puppy In Show - Mrs Clare Lee (UK)~

"Most appealing black brindle with white chest and feet. Such a lovely head piece - short, strong and deep. Great depth of foreface, well pronounced stop, round dark eye and correctly placed rose ears - and all this whilst still looking feminine. And this is because of the expression and the balance of her head size with her body. Strong neck of correct length, clean shoulders, good bone and feet. Good depth of brisket and well sprung ribs. Not the neatest of waists. Moved well."

ACT  and District SBT Club-Champ Show April 2004 - Reseve Bitch Challenge, AUS BRED IN SHOW, RUNNER UP BEST IN SHOW -Mrs Juanita Crawford (South Africa)

A fabulous bitch and clear winner of the class.  Beat the 2nd place on strength and bluntness of muzzle, shorter coupling, better rear angulation, and greater depth of hindquarter muscle.  Another excellent mover who maintains her very good topline when on the  move.  Lost out to the Challenge Bitch on overall strength of head and rear drive on the move.  Beat the Challenge Dog for RUNNER UP BEST IN SHOW on forequarter angulation.

 

Linwest Sunni ~ "Sunni"

~2002 SBTCV Champ Show, Opposite Intermediate In Show - Mrs Clare Lee (UK)~

"Very typey white bitch - sister I discovered of my Puppy Dog winner. Excellent head, well defined stop, good skull, deep wide foreface. Excellent pigmentation of nose and lips. Correctly placed ears and round eyes. Very clean, well muscled, but no way over done shoulders. Good sized well padded feet. Good spring of rob for age. Well bent stifle and time to tighten up muscle tone. Promising young bitch."

~2003 SBTCV Champ Show, RBCC & Intermediate in Show - Mrs Carol Smith (Sth Aust)~

"Lovely white feminine bitch, typey and sound in good condition.  Lovely head - short, strong, deep, well pronounced stop, round dark eye and neat rose ears.  Correct length of neck, clean shoulders, good bone and feet, depth of brisket and well sprung ribs.  Moved and handled well."

~ SBT Club of S.A. Champ Show, Nov 2003  Intermediate Bitch Class-  Mrs Loreen Williams (UK)~

 White with brindle ear, she had a strong head with a short muzzle, neat ears and a good long reach of neck ,straight well boned front, her top line rose slightly, she moved with drive from strong hind quarters.

Jehard Last Love ~ "Cleo"
~2001 SBTCV Champ Show, 2nd Graduate Bitch Class - Mr Walter Bore (QLD)~
"Nice head, level backed. Short coupled, tail carried low."
~2002 SBTCV Champ Show, 3rd Limit Bitch Class - Mrs Clare Lee (UK)~

SBTCQ - June Championship Show - Ms Tracey Amos (SA)

In my opinion my 1st & 2nd are worthy champions in the making!
A very good type bitch with lovely bull & terrier substance, nice bone, with lovely feminine head, scissor bite, clean front, sound with clean outline in body, neat feet, short coupled & well let down behind. Lovely markings with no break along her back which can be deceiving to the eye as she is not a pied but a black & white, her pigmentation is good. My type of bitch, not too light, nor too heavy, but balanced, what the standard calls for. I would love to have a coloured bitch like this & would be happy to have her in my team. Pushed hard for reserve CC bitch today & only her age took it from her in a line up of top grade bitches, she has proven she can be the best at specialties already & will again! Handled & presented in good condition. INTERMEDIATE IN SHOW.  Very proudly owned by Janeen Chamberlain
