Second Place in Junior - Bitch, 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.
Another lovely grizzle and tan bitch who is older at nearly 18 months. She is narrow in front, has a nice head and expression, is good in shoulder and well angulated front and rear, with a good bend of stifle. Good topline and tailset, moved well.
