First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Nice sized grizzle and tan who has a lovely feminine head with short, strong muzzle and good bite. She has a straight, narrow front with elegant neck into well laid back shoulders, and is ribbed well back. She spans easily, has a good topline and tailset, and correct body depth. Her coat is harsh, her pelt is loose, and she moves out well.
