First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr Matt Smith (Alncroft)
Many thanks to the club for the invitation to judge at their show and for their hospitality. Thank you to my stewards, and the exhibitors for entering under me. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and was pleased with the quality present. Many of the classes were close decisions and coats played a big part in final standings. Whilst I didn’t find any dogs that I couldn’t span, having spent a lifetime around working terriers some of the bitches in particular were on the larger end of the scale for preference.
Quality young dog, who was presented and handled very well. Excellent size and balance. Moves well all ways. Good in skull, enough muzzle, good mouth and teeth. Pleasing neck flowing in to well laid shoulder, really easily spanned. Good bone and neat feet. Correct length and topline. Didn’t stop showing, very happy to award him BD and BIS.
