First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Tracy Butler (Ycart)
Firstly I would like to thank the officers and committee for inviting me to judge there well run show,also many thanks must go to my very capable stewards on an excellent job in keeping the ring running smoothly.
The biggest thanks must go the exhibitors for there entries,and there sportsmanship on my decisions.
In my opinon,my findings where as follows,the standard asks for “essencially a working terrier”,this is a statement that is very close to my heart.
Unfortunatley some do not fit this,short upperarms are still very present,restricting reach in movement.Some dogs would benefit from less food and more exercise.
Muscle tone varied greatly,some dogs lacking,these dogs are bred to do a job.
With the rising costs of entries,some exhibits would benefit greatly from a good tidy up and the mud removed from there under bellies.
I was pleased with my overall winners,some nice quality exhibits.
Masculine dog,up on leg,strong head with flat skull,strong muzzle and underjaw,correct dentation,with nice big teeth,clean flowing neck into well placed shoulders,correct front assembly with length of upperarm,well ribbed,flat,easily spanned,strong loin,well angulated quarters with good muscle tone,lacking coat,but enough evidence of good harsh texture,thick pliable pelt,moved with reach & drive,pleased to award him RDCC.
