National Terrier (04-04-2009)

First Place in Limit - 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.

Placing Critique:

Lovely red bitch that has matured well since I last saw her. Excellent coat, well angulated upper arm, good shoulders and ribs and firm loin, not over done at the back, moved very well with lots of drive.
