Working Bedlingtons 2005

Working Bedlingtons - Showing !!!

 

A few times this year I have been asked by Judges who are asked to judge terrier shows and have had the onerous task of judging Bedlington classes at the shows, what to look for when picking potential winners !!

 

So here's a question for all of you that have judged a terrier show, or maybe those who would like to give their tuppence worth !!

 

What would you like to see in the ring as a typical 'Working Bedlington' ??

 

or those that have experience of Bedlingtons how would you prioritise size/coat/conformation/weight for the good of the breed ??

i judged a fair few shows and only once had a beddy in, good to hear they are getting more popular aslong as they are of working type.

 

i would look for a dog that fits its breed and puprose just like any other..... anything but then oddly clipped show pony dogs

pup looking well there Lawrence, still nice dark coat I see

Looking good lawrence, you should get him all fluffed up, shaved and blow dried mate, perhaps he might win a bedlington show.. or better still we'll get them entered this season, see what they're made of ?? My dog pup is still as ugly as feck with a dark coat, lighter in all the right places... Bitch pup is coming on well, except fot the wobbly leg, don't think that will stop her working to ground though !!

 

:D looking good mate !!

all this hype about "working types" to me it doesnt matter what the dog looks like as long as it does what you want it to do. weather its k.c or not big,small if it does a job for you then happy days

What hype ??

[lawrence 657]

thanks TT. aye SJ i'll stick to getting him operating, i'm not the most sociable at the best of times, so usually stay clear of shows, some b*****d always starts talking to me, can't have that.

 

by the way the liver half bred bitch i mentioned is 100%, stays til dug, be a nice mating for the future should the pup work out, i'll throw you one over if it happens.

[lawrence 657]
