First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr J Horswell
I very much enjoyed tackling this entry and found the breed to be in pretty good shape. Quite a relaxed and friendly atmosphere I thought. I did take coats into account, there were quite a lot who were rather naked on the day and as a result went further down the line that they might otherwise have done – you have to judge what you can see, and a good coat is important in a working terrier.
This was a very competitive class.
Sound moving d in v good coat. Liked his head and neat ears. Enough neck. Chest to elbow. Fairly short in back. Liked his rear. Held his tail well angulation is v well balanced.
