First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Jean Willets
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at this show. Also the exhibiters for giving me the top entry in the terrier group and some good dogs went home card less. A big thanks to both the stewards for being so efficient and making everything run so smooth especially on such a hot day.
I was pleased with the temperaments of the dogs, and there wasn’t as many short backs. As a working dog they do need to turn in a tight corner so require a flatter rib and longer back, not short and square which has been the fashion recently.
Movement on the whole was o.k., but the ground did not help as it was uneven with dips everywhere. The heat wave did affect some dogs adversely.
Old fashioned type with lovely feminine head with strong jaw and dark eye. Reachy neck, leading into clean shoulder on narrow front, with flat rib of good length. .In excellent condition. Good harsh topcoat with good undercoat. Moved round the ring with ease, keeping her topline on the move. BCC BOB.
