First Place in Yearling - 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.
Masculine head with a nice dark eye and scissor bite. Good neck and level topline with correct tail carriage. He was well muscled with second thigh in evidence. Hindquarters were angulated and rear movement was positive. He was in good harsh double coat with a nice thick pelt. Moved well both ways.
