The Sporting Terrier Association of Yorkshire Open Show (08-11-2015)

First Place in Puppy, Judge: Mrs Tina Jones (Otterholme)

Show Critique:

My thanks go to the committee for the invite to judge at this well run show, also grateful thanks go to the exhibitors for allowing me to go over their dogs and the sporting manner that they accepted my decisions.
I was pleased to see overall nice typical heads. The majority of dogs were presented in a proper tweedy jacket with plenty of pelt; this is not just pleasing to see but a necessity for a working terrier. Just one level bite which is permissible, concerning was wide fronts which seemed to be the rule rather than the exception, some I had difficulty in spanning, which had a bearing on my placements.

Placing Critique:

very nice, a lovely feminine bitch to go over, appealed for size, narrow and racy throughout, she has a lovely typical head and expression strong muzzle, clean front and excellent hindquarters, which she used well on the move. One I will watch with interest. BP and RBOB.
