First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Elizabeth Barrett (Howthwaite)
I would like to thank the committee of the Scottish BTC for their warm welcome and hospitality. Thank you also to my ring stewards Joyce Orr and Helen McKenzie for keeping things running smoothly. I am grateful to those exhibitors who braved the weather to attend the show. All the dogs were entire and mouths were very good. Coats were on the whole just on their way in which I expected just before the coming show season. A number of exhibits were carrying rather too much condition for a fit functional terrier.
A very typical dark grizzle and tan bitch. Workmanlike head and expression with good bite, strong muzzle, and liked the shape of her skull. Although not the best mover on the day, I loved her excellent neck and clean well laid shoulders and good length and shape of rib. Harsh coat just coming in through a very thick undercoat and the thickest of pelts.
