First Place in 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.
Handsome puppy. His head was a good otter shape, correct scissor bite and a strong muzzle. Nice dark eye and well placed ears. Correct in neck and shoulders, easily spanned, straight front and neat feet. His hindquarters were angulated which enabled him to move with drive. He was in good muscle tone and second thigh was evident.
