First Place in Open - Bitch, 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.
an eyecatching bitch, she is a lovely size with correct bone. Her head is a good otter shape with a strong muzzle and correct scissor bite. Lovely expression and neat ears. Neck was of a good length with nicely laid shoulders. She is easily spanned with racy qualities. Her front was straight with neat feet. Hindquarters were angulated and second thigh was evident. Her overall outline was good, topline was straight and carried her carrot shaped tail well. Movement was sound both ways. BCC
