First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mr W Shorthose (Cundytyke)
Overall, I felt there was reasonable quality in those forward. Some exhibitors continue to have their dogs underfed and/or carrying little muscle, both to the detriment of a terrier expected to put in a day’s work. There were a number of untypical heads – lacking width to the skull and strength to the muzzle. Please keep in mind the shape of an otter’s skull.
I was very pleased with my top winners and extend my thanks to all the exhibitors.
Short, strong muzzle with little stop. Big enough but spannable and narrow in front, correct angulation in shoulder and stood on good feet. Ribs carried well back and racy loin. Pleasing top-line and tail set. Moved well and shown in really good condition. Well balanced with no exaggeration.
