Judge: Mrs J Guvercin (Glebeheath)
Thank you to everyone who entered on a Friday and gave me the biggest entry of the two groups on the day and the forth highest in the whole show! Pat and Paul my stewards were great and helped me to get through the dogs in an efficient way.
We were lucky enough to be outside on a perfect dog showing day weather wise.
Some super quality classes with hair splitting decisions and even lovely dogs unplaced. Whilst essentially a working terrier was a priority, I wanted my males, to look like males and my bitches easily recognisable as females, it sounds obvious but with some they could’ve passed for either.
Some really lovely dogs looked super stood, but failed on the move, not just coming and going, but more importantly to me, the side gait.
I think we need to be careful of mouths, I was surprised to find several with teeth out of line. Level bites, although allowed and not penalised on the day, some were in very young dogs and it makes me wonder if they will last.
Having said all that, I enjoyed my day and the dogs, who also seemed to enjoy being outside.
Minor Puppy - Dog /
Second Place
Name at show: Borderbobs Vinney Jones
Placing Critique
Grizzle in lovely harsh, double coat, thick pelt and firm condition. Has a typical balanced head that shows promise. Nicely put together with good topline and balanced angulation. Good for size with just enough bone and good feet. Saw just enough between bounces, to see him move soundly. Immature, as you’d expect at this age, compared to one, but shows much promise and could change places as he matures.
