First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mr Mark Lowry (Ravenside)
A big thank you to the Club for giving me the chance to judge this show, also to the exhibitors for giving me such a nice entry. Special thanks also to my stewards for making everything run so smoothly, and to the ladies in the kitchen for a great meal.
I had some quality dogs to go over and I am confident plenty will go on to achieve greater things. Coats were at various stages which is to be expected and although they don’t change the construction of the animal it can detract from the overall picture when awarding top prizes. Of course they are a working terrier but they are also on show so I have to have both things in mind when judging.
red bitch in super double dense coat with a thick loose pelt. Strong headed bitch with a shallow stop, dark almond shaped eye. Good reach of neck into a narrow front, well laid back shoulder, correct rib, level topline, well balanced bitch, easily spanned. RBB.
