Welsh and West of England Bullmastiff Society
Champ Show May 2012
Judge: Mr Clive Smith
I would like to thank the officers, committee, stewards and
exhibitors for a thoroughly enjoyable day. The sun shone, the rain
stopped and the atmosphere at the show was excellent. I was
fortunate to have 116 entries to choose from and I enjoyed every
minute. I do not subscribe to those that suggest the Bullmastiff
breed is in decline. I was particularly encouraged by the quality of
the younger Bullmastiffs with some super young pups and Juniors
that, in my opinion, are at good if not better than I have seen in
many years and I was more than pleased with my principal winners who
I feel have the quality to more than hold their own at Group level
in any general Championship Sow. A look at the final line up in both
dog and bitches shows that we have some fine examples of the breed
with some excellent prospects bursting through.
VD. 1. White's,
Murbisa Rocky of Allwatcha. 9 and a half years old dark brindle dog
in lovely condition. His coat gleamed. Correct proportions, good
bone. Moved around the ring like a dog half his age. A credit to his
owner. BVIS.
MPD. 1. Moseley's, Shadowguard Evolved. 7 months old
quality red youngster. Excellent head proportions, dark eye and good
ear placement. Ample bone. Strong front. Good lay of shoulders. Good
rear angulation and bend of stifle. A fine young prospect.
2. Richards and Crawford's, Shadowguard Havoc. Another quality
youngster. Litter brother to winner and slightly bigger. Fawn dog.
Good square head with correct proportions with all the qualities of
winner. Clearly enjoyed himself but lacked a little bit of ring
craft, otherwise nothing to choose between them.
3. Williams and Pratt's, Optimus Harlem.
PD. 1. Myers', Old Manila's Whiskey Mac for Optimus. 10 months old top
quality fawn dog. Dark eye, square head, good ear carriage. Strong front,
plenty of bone and well up to size.Even topline leading to strongly built
well angulated hindquarters.Would have preferred him slightly shorter in
back but really moved well for such a young boy. I'm sure this is one to
watch. Happy to award BPIS
2. McGroarty and Wallace's, Ardhub Omigosh. 10 months old red dog
smaller than winner but of good substance. Nice square head. Short back.
Strong hindquarters. Well angulated and moved with purpose. Would have
preferred a bit more muzzle length.
3. Foster's,Lareto of Letui.
JD. 1. Garforth's, Moobull Lasting Legacy. Just over 12 months old clear fawn.
Strong head complimented with nice dark muzzle. Strong straight front. Nice
rear angulation, width of flank and a high tail set. Still up at the back but I
expect him to level up as he matures. A very nice Junior.
2. Morgan's, Tiraslee Jacksonville. 13 months old fawn. Smaller than winner.
Good strong square head. Good reach of neck. Strong straight front. Compact.
Moved positively and freely. Bit out of coat.
3. Lynch's,Lynchspride Maximus Mateo.
DEBUT D 1. McDougall's, Saturnsprings Ankaa. 23 months old red of good size
and substance. Stong square head, well set ear carriage. Good arch of neck and
well set shoulders. Deep broad chest. Good topline and tail set. Strong
hindquarters with a pleasing profile. A really nice balanced dog that showed
well and moved around the ring with purpose. Pleased to give him RCC.
2. Foster's, Lareto of Letui.
SYD 1. Slater's, Chalfs Mr Bubbalove. Quality brindle with a good square head
and strong square muzzle, almond shaped dark eye. Good lay of shoulder and
spring of rib. Muscular hindquarters with good rear angulation which he used
well on the move as he moved freely around the ring.
2.Cole's, Licassa Kublia Khan of Alwencourt. Fawn boy. Strong square head.
Nice front. Compact in the body. Muscular hindquarters with good rear
angulation. Moved well. Very little to split first and second. I liked them both.

3. Baines's, Torryabloom Northern Light.
OD. 1. McGroaty's, Ch. Ardhub Shuda Been Black. For me the outstanding dog
of the show. Red dog in top show condition. Powerfully built and symmetrical,
yet balanced. Excellent square head, level bite with good dentition and broad
wide underjaw, well filled cheeks. Powerful neck leading to good lay of shoulders. Strong straight front. Level topline. Compact n the body and well let down chest
with good spring of rib. Muscular strong rear quarters with correct angulation. He
really drove off the back legs and I couldn't fault the movement. Pleased to award
CC and BOB.

Strong square head, dark eye, good pigment and great expression. Good bone and substance with a broad deep chest. Nice spring of rib and well developed powerful

VB. 1. Warren and Singleton's, Wonderbulls Accroche-Voeur of Copperfield.
8 year old with good head, mouth and strong front. Plenty of rear angulation.
Moved really well for her age. A credit to her owners.
2. Bown and Wilfort's, Sundabish Lady La Roux. 8 years old red. Good head and
front. Another free moving veteran and a joy to watch.
MPB. 1. Warren and Singleton's, Optimus Alcia of Copperfield. I loved this young
brindle bitch. Not the tallest but at 6 months old she has lots of time to grow. She
has the most wonderful shape, lovely square head and muzzle, dark eye, correct ear carriage and a beautiful expression. Good shoulders and a broad deep chest. Perhaps
a tad too much white on her chest but a minor point nevertheless.Compact in the
body. Good level topline and excellent hindquarters and tail set. Moved well for a
baby. This really is one to watch for the future. A close call for BPIS but pleased to award RBPIS.

lay of shoulders. Good rear angulation and bend of stifle. Moved well. Outshone on the day by winner but I'm sure this pup will do her share of winning.

PB. 1. Self's, Sparkling Dream. Fawn girl 11 months old. Well up to size with good
bone and substance. Strong head and muzzle with a good front. Chest deep and
broad. Good spring of rib with powerful hindquarters and good rear angulation.
Good movement
2. Self's, Truly Scrumptious. Clear fawn girl and litter sister to winner. Like two peas
in a pod with little or nothing to split them. If I'm being picky, perhaps a little bit less substance then winner.
3. McGroarty's, Ardhub Fancy a Fumble.
JB. 1. Colliass's, Oldwell Eclipse. Quality Junior of 17 months. I liked this one a lot.
Good strong square head, nice expression. Good shoulder lay and overall body shape
