Northern Counties Sporting Terrier Association Open Show (16-10-2022)

First Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Mrs M Wanless (Thorneyburn)

Show Critique:

This was a last minute appointment for me, as Tina Jones had to stand down at the last moment owing to her Mothers serious illness.
What a super entry she had drawn!!! fifty one 1st entries and six repeats.
All dogs shown had good mouths, almost all had thick pelts and super harsh jackets.
All dogs were entire, and most were easily spanned.

Placing Critique:

A stunning blue bitch of 18 mths old,in super harsh, well ticked jacket, on a thick pelt. She has a super head and expression, a strong jaw, good teeth, and a dark eye, and neat ears. A good length of neck, into correct shoulders. Correct for bone,with a straight front and neat feet. She is ribbed well back,and has a level topline into a lovely tail, carried correctly. She moved out with drive and confidence in her handler I loved her !! B, BOB, and was shortlisted in the group.
