National Terrier (04-04-2015)

Second Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mr W Shorthose (Cundytyke)

Show Critique:

Overall, I felt there was reasonable quality in those forward. Some exhibitors continue to have their dogs underfed and/or carrying little muscle, both to the detriment of a terrier expected to put in a day’s work. There were a number of untypical heads – lacking width to the skull and strength to the muzzle. Please keep in mind the shape of an otter’s skull.
I was very pleased with my top winners and extend my thanks to all the exhibitors.

Placing Critique:

Slightly bigger all through than 1, but spannable and correct shape to the rib-cage. Good head, and moved well, standing on good feet. I would have liked a bit more muscle behind.
