First Place in Post Graduate, Judge: Mrs Tina Jones (Otterholme)
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.
blue and tan bitch that I have judged before, and I find it impossible to overlook her, she is unexaggerated throughout, an honest and sound border. Harsh jacket, correct ticking with ample pelt to complement. Narrow front, clean shoulders, flat ribs, right amount of loin. Nice clean lines throughout
