First Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, 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.
A very honest bitch, unexaggerated and very pleasing to go over. Turned out in excellent condition with a good coat and pelt. Strong muzzle. Good eye and expression with neat ears. Moderate length of neck, good in shoulder and enough return of upperarm. Straight front legs. Would prefer tighter feet. Good width to body. Comfortably spanned. Nicely balanced. Pleasing action on the move. Shown and handled well. Pleased to award her best bitch, BOS and RBIS.
