Second Place in Puppy, Judge: Siân McKay (Redesholt)
My thanks go to the committee, volunteers and my steward for the day, for helping to make this show so friendly and welcoming, on a very crisp morning in November.
I was satisfied with my final line-up all being good examples of the breed; with the conformation and attributes to make them potentially successful working terriers as well as possessing a degree of showmanship. It was pleasing to note some good movement on show.
I was delighted to note that my Best of Breed went on to further honours and gained TG3, and, as I learned later, the Best Puppy was from the same kennel, and went TPG1- Congratulations to the breeder and owner.
11-month-old grizzle and tan bitch of a different type and lighter frame than 1. Pretty, feminine head with shallow stop and alert gaze. Good proportions in outline, standing on straight legs with small thick padded feet. Narrow throughout with well laid back ribs, and shown in good coat with thick pelt. She strode confidently around the ring but today front movement not as good as 1- time to mature yet.
