City of Birmingham (02-09-2017)

First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs B Roderick

Show Critique:

Firstly I would like to thank my stewards for their assistance during the day.
Thanks to the exhibitors that sportingly took my decisions, it was a pleasure to judge some lovely terriers. I would just suggest that over baiting not only slows up the judging, especially with young puppies but does spoil the terriers outline in the final line up of the classes on occasion. That said it was pleasing to find the temperaments sound in the exhibits, despite the various distractions and of course the clanking of the ducting under the carpet. Thank you again for your entry.

Placing Critique:

Put down in excellent coat this dog really appealed to me for type. He is very sound and in good jacket. Thick pelt good tail and tail set. Strong head with good expression, correct depth of chest and balanced all through. Pleased to award him the CC and BOB.
