Second 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.
Slightly smaller all through than 1, the size of dog that could work almost anywhere. Strong enough, good length to ribcage. Correct otter-like head, nice shoulder with straight forelegs and standing on good feet. Sound on the move.
