First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mr W Shorthose (Cundytyke)
It is always a particular honour to judge a Breed Club Championship Show and my thanks go to the committee for their hospitality and my stewards who kept things running smoothly. I found only two poor mouths but more had wrong, thin skins and some needed to go home for a good feed. A working terrier needs to be correctly muscled and too many needed nourishment and exercise. The biggest problem, however, remains poor front movement showing both incorrect shoulders and, for some, over angulation in the hindquarters.
Only six weeks older than winner of previous class and much more mature. Good size and easily spanned. God shape to head with only slight stop, well set ear and well set on neck. Correct length to the body and brought hind legs well under on the move.
