Blackpool Championship Show (24-06-2011)

First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mrs Charlotte Archibald

Show Critique:

My sincere thanks to Blackpool & District Canine Society, for inviting me to judge at this level, for the first time. Even the weather was kind to us!!
A special thank you, to the exhibitors for your support, giving me the highest terrier entry, and the sheer joy of going over every exhibit, thank one and all.
It was a fabulous entry, numerically and depth of quality.
On the downside I found one cryptorchidic, one suspect tail, and a lot of dirty teeth, although mouths were generally good.
Coats were at various stages and in some cases they were the deciding factor, movement not too bad, the odd one “pinning in”.
There were some attractive exhibits of both genders, that went ‘cardless’ today, for me, there was just too much of them.

Placing Critique:

grizzle in good order, lovely thick jacket and pelt, typical head with good breadth of skull, strong muzzle, big white teeth, neat dark ears, well balanced, moved out with purpose.
