First Place in Limit - 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.
Eye catching grizzle and tan bitch who is just right for size, being narrow and easily spanned, and with the correct amount of bone. She has a lovely straight front and strong neck into nice shoulders. Her head is feminine but strong with very little stop, strong jaws and big teeth in a scissor bite. She is ribbed well back, strong in loin and has sturdy hindquarters giving plenty of drive. She is well muscled and beautifully presented in a harsh, dense coat, and moved soundly holding her level topline. RCC.
