National Terrier (04-04-2009)

Second Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mr. Frank Nicholls (Halcus)

Show Critique:

Many thanks to everyone for an excellent entry, both in numbers and quality. While there were many well made exhibits it became a frustrating experience at times trying to find those with a decent coat, many having presumably been stripped out following Crufts in preparation for the season ahead, after all they can’t be in coat all of the time! Front movement again was a problem, not so much due to under reaching or circus pony, high stepping, but pinning and knitting. Heads were a mixed bag, one or two with excessive stops and rounded skulls but none excessively broad. There were some “snipey” muzzles present.

Class Critique:

A tremendous class headed by three young bitches of the highest quality.

Placing Critique:

Another beauty, excellent red coat, narrow build, good otter head, lovely reach of neck, and shoulders and text book racy hindquarters. Moved very well.
