First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Miss J Singh (Vandamere)
I would like to thank the Secretary of the National Terrier Club and committee members for their warm welcome and superb hospitality. I had a nice entry of 113. Inevitably there were some absentees. It was encouraging to see young handlers in the ring and I hope they continue to enjoy the show scene.
I found three wry mouths and one exhibit with a kink tail. A couple of exhibits were in need of muscle tone and condition. This is achievable by good feeding and exercise and not starvation. My thanks go to my very capable stewards who kept the proceedings running smoothly.
Smart puppy who stood out in this class. Masculine head, not overdone, nice dark eye, strong muzzle and had a correct bite. He is good for bone, has neat feet and a straight front. Nice in ribs and well angulated hindquarters. Balanced in appearance with a level topline and carrot tail. Was at one with his handler and showed well. Best Puppy Dog and Best Puppy in Breed.
