Zilli has come to join us here at Stowthorney & Breckgreen can't wait to get out and about with her.

Stop Press Zilli wins Best in Show at Midland Border Terrier Club Show 2018.
This is what Liz Barrett (Howthwaite)had to say about her:

Lovely coloured blue & tan. Caught my eye as soon as she came into the ring. Good head, free from exaggeration with strong muzzle good skull, little stop and dark eye. Good neck into well laid shoulders. Nicely angulated front with good return of upper arm. Just right for bone with strong pasterns, standing on good feet. Good in body and ribs and easily spanned. Excellent topline and underline with well set tail. Strong in loin but without any heaviness. Just right for hind angulation with strong well let down hocks. Excellent harsh coat with the thickest of undercoats and thick pliable pelt. Sound and free moving in profile and true and accurate coming and going. Pleased to award her Best Bitch and Best In Show.

Zilli wins Best in Show at Southern Border Terrier Club Limit Show 2018.
This is what the judge Tina Jones (Otterholme) had to say about her.

1st Open Bitch
Byrewick Valentine (Mr R Brewster & Ms J Green)
on first glance at this one, everything looked so right, and she confirmed this on the table and move. She has the most beautiful otter shaped head which was so feminine, dark eye. Narrow throughout without losing any substance, correct in upper arm, that led into well laid back shoulders, good length of rib,firm topline, strong loin, into well muscled hindquarters. Her coat was the best I had felt of the day, so harsh and dense, with plenty of undercoat and ample pelt. Moved out so well, lovely action covering the ground with a free and easy stride. Balanced and unexaggerated throughout she had everything I was looking for in an earth dog. Best Bitch and Best in Show.

Zilli wins Limit Bitch and Bitch RCC under breed specialist Sarah Dandy (Dandale) at Windsor Championship Dog Show 2018 This is what Sarah Dandy had to say about Zilli:

1st - Byrewick Valentine (Mr R Brewster & Ms J Green)
Stylish blue and tan with super clean outline, really firm and beautifully conditioned she caught my eye on her first lap around the ring. Elegant, and full of quality with ideal angulation at both ends giving her effortless movement, displaying super reach and angulation using her excellently made hindquarters to great effect. Good legs, bone and feet with good pasterns and hocks. Correct topline and tailset held well on the move with good length of body, ribbed back and firm loin. Soundest of movers fore and aft and moved extremely well in profile. Loved this bitch, she is a real quality package and pushed my CC winner really hard but she was just a little short of coat today… I was literally splitting hairs! RBCC.

Zilli wins the Bitch CC & Resv Best in Show at Midland Border Teriier Club Championship Show 2018 under breed specialist Hilary Gilpin (Otterbobs)
This is what Hilary Gilpin had to say about her: 1st - Byrewick Valentine (Mr R Brewster & Ms J Green)
A good strong class to win, at last I found a bitch which stood out, she has the shape of a very well put together bitch if the shoulders and hind angulation are correct then the movement is. She has the length of body to accommodate the ribs well back, lovely varminty expression good strong teeth. Her jacket and pelt could not compete against the dog for B.O.B but she was in my eye the best Bitch here today worthy of her Bitch CC.
