First Place in Open - 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.
what a first rate dog, lovely for size and bone. He has a super otter head, neat ears with dark eyes and a strong muzzle . His front was straight with tight feet. Good length of neck and well laid shoulders. He was easily spanned and has pleasing ribs. His loin was strong and hindquarters were well angulated. He was presented in good double coat and has a thick pelt. His is balanced in appearance, has a level top line and a good carrot tail. His movement was sound and purposeful, a great showman. DCC and BOB delighted that he was shortlisted for BIS.
