First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Phil D Sharp
A magnificent entry, the highest in the terrier group. Some exhibits did not have a good otter head & appeared too coarse. Movement was also an issue, as it should be the hindquarters that provide the propulsion, with the topline remaining reasonably level as the dog moves. Tails were somewhat better than when I last judged at this level. I was pleased with my final line-up for both dogs & bitches.
Disappointing class, with several exhibits not moving well.
racy hindquarters contributed to good movement, appeared very fit & had a good loose hide, was in good coat. Would have liked a more ottery head
