Midland Counties CS (29-10-2010)

First Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Phil D Sharp

Show Critique:

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.

Class Critique:

This was a lovely class of puppies

Placing Critique:

was pushed very close by 2. Beautifully balanced puppy, just eight months, goad front & reach of neck, moved very well. Head still developing
