First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Miss J Singh (Vandamere)
I was a delighted to receive the invitation to judge at this friendly and well run show The weather was glorious and there was a nice atmosphere around the ring.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day as I had some quality dogs to go over and this was reflected on the impressive results in the Group placings . I was thrilled to learn that the Best of Breed was awarded Terrier Group 1, my bitch CC winner was awarded Terrier Junior Group 2, the puppy gained Puppy Terrier Group 3 and the veteran was awarded Veteran Terrier Group 3. Is this a new record for group placings at one show for the breed?
The day was kept running smoothly by my two stewards Alan McKenzie and Sue Hann,
I was concerned about the number of exhibits with misplaced teeth. In total I found five exhibits each with a misplaced tooth, also two kinked tails and one exhibit with one testicle. Some exhibits were lacking in muscle tone and condition.
nice otter shaped head, dark eye and v shaped ears, pleasing expression. He was shown in good coat. His front was straight with good bone and neat feet. He was spannable, has good hindquarters and nice carrot tail. Moved and showed well in the class. I considered him in the challenge however in the line up when standing I could not overlook what appeared to be a dip behind his shoulders which spoilt the overall picture.
