First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Anne Speake
I would like to thank the officers and committee for the kind invitation to judge some of the terrier breeds at this well run show, set in the beautiful setting of Dunster Castle. My thanks to my two excellent stewards Mel & Vera for keeping the ring running smoothly. A special thank you to all the exhibitors who gave me such a lovely quality entry of dogs over all the breeds to judge, making for some difficult decisions in some classes.
this 18mth old g/t dog stood out for quality and breed type. A well balanced dog with an attractive masculine head, with correct ear set, dark eye and keen expression. Lovely big teeth set in a strong jaw, good reach of neck, excellent shoulders, straight front with good tight feet, and a level topline, easily spanned with muscular hindquarters Presented in good coat. Good angulations fore and aft, enabling him to move out with reach and drive to take BOB TG4
