First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Jill Stevens (Cobstoneway)
Thank you to the Committee for inviting me to judge at this level for the first time, and also to my very efficient ring steward who kept things running smoothly. I had a lovely day and felt it was a great honour and responsibility. I really appreciated each and every entry, and had some lovely exhibits to go over, the depth of quality in some classes meaning that some nice dogs went cardless. Coats were understandably at different stages, and although this has no bearing on the construction of the dog, a good coat does complete the picture of what is essentially a working terrier.
A confident 6 month old grizzle and tan who was enjoying his day out and moving very accurately for one so young. He is built on narrow lines, with a lovely straight front, well laid back shoulders, and ribbed well back. He has a very good head with short, strong muzzle and big, white teeth. Very easy to span.
