The Southern Counties Canine Assocation (01-06-2019)

First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Miss J Singh (Vandamere)

Show Critique:

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.

Placing Critique:

nice size, good length of neck, level top line with a carrot tail, pleasing outline. She has a good otter head, feminine with a strong muzzle, good bite and neat ears. Good length of rib and was spannable. Her coat was harsh, she has good bone with neat feet. Turned out immaculately, was in perfect harmony with her handler. Moved well both ways. BRCC.
