Midland Counties CS (29-10-2010)

First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Phil D Sharp

Show Critique:

A magnificent entry, the highest in the terrier group. Some exhibits did not have a good otter head & appeared too coarse. Movement was also an issue, as it should be the hindquarters that provide the propulsion, with the topline remaining reasonably level as the dog moves. Tails were somewhat better than when I last judged at this level. I was pleased with my final line-up for both dogs & bitches.

Class Critique:

A class of varying types, which made my job rather difficult

Placing Critique:

pushed hard by 2. On the move & on the table was completely balanced, in excellent coat & was really fit & well muscled, excelled in neck, pleasing head, good straight front & good hind angulation contributed to movement. RCC
