First Place in Junior, Judge: Mrs Sandra Girling (Benattivo)
I would like to thank the show committee for offering me this appointment and I was very grateful to both my ring stewards for their help on the day.
This was a lovely show to come back too after such a long time away from the show ring. The weather today got very warm in the ring for some exhibits. I would like to have seen a couple of exhibits which were without coat on another day as I feel this is an important aspect when I judge the breed. All dentition was correct and was shown by the handler, all males had two testicles.
The level of quality throughout the entry was in my opinion outstanding. Which in some classes having only one first prize was not enough! Many of the exhibits today I believe will have bright futures ahead of them.
This lovely sized young lady commanded the ring she didn’t stop showing she has a nice otter like head. She’s 13 months old and was in the best of double tweed jackets and has a good thick pelt which covers the correct rib shape. She moved positively coming and going with enthusiasm holding a good top line throughout. Her breed type, confirmation, condition and ring presences today secured her a very worthy Best of Breed and very pleased to see her do so well in a strong terrier group to gain TG2.
