The Birmingham & District Gundog & Terrier Club (20-10-2018)

Second Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Jill Stevens (Cobstoneway)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the committee for giving me the honour of judging at this lovely show, and for the hospitality shown on the day. Thank you also to my 2 very efficient stewards, Lesley and Judith, but most of all I would like to thank all the exhibitors who gave me such a lovely entry of quality dogs which were a pleasure to go over. I found no bad mouths, no kinked tails, and all the dogs were entire. Coats were at various stages, as to be expected, but none of the exhibits were without the correct double coat needed by a working terrier.

Placing Critique:

Another blue and tan bitch, nearly 7 years old and enjoying her day. She has a broad, flat skull with strong jaws and dark eyes, is ribbed well back and has correct angulation. Not quite the coat of 1st on the day, but she moved out with drive and showed well.
