Third Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mr W Shorthose (Cundytyke)
It is always a particular honour to judge a Breed Club Championship Show and my thanks go to the committee for their hospitality and my stewards who kept things running smoothly. I found only two poor mouths but more had wrong, thin skins and some needed to go home for a good feed. A working terrier needs to be correctly muscled and too many needed nourishment and exercise. The biggest problem, however, remains poor front movement showing both incorrect shoulders and, for some, over angulation in the hindquarters.
Really good class with any of those placed likely to change places another day.
Shown in quite profuse coat today, not helping to assess shape until handled. Like the length of body and way ribs are carried back. Positive on the move.
