The Sporting Terrier Association of Yorkshire Open Show (08-11-2015)

First Place in Limit, Judge: Mrs Tina Jones (Otterholme)

Show Critique:

My thanks go to the committee for the invite to judge at this well run show, also grateful thanks go to the exhibitors for allowing me to go over their dogs and the sporting manner that they accepted my decisions.
I was pleased to see overall nice typical heads. The majority of dogs were presented in a proper tweedy jacket with plenty of pelt; this is not just pleasing to see but a necessity for a working terrier. Just one level bite which is permissible, concerning was wide fronts which seemed to be the rule rather than the exception, some I had difficulty in spanning, which had a bearing on my placements.

Placing Critique:

nicely balanced throughout, typical head, strong muzzle, the best of fronts, correct shoulder placement, moved out well he has ample pelt would just like abit more jacket to complete the picture
