First Place in Puppy, Judge: Siân McKay (Redesholt)
My thanks go to the committee, volunteers and my steward for the day, for helping to make this show so friendly and welcoming, on a very crisp morning in November.
I was satisfied with my final line-up all being good examples of the breed; with the conformation and attributes to make them potentially successful working terriers as well as possessing a degree of showmanship. It was pleasing to note some good movement on show.
I was delighted to note that my Best of Breed went on to further honours and gained TG3, and, as I learned later, the Best Puppy was from the same kennel, and went TPG1- Congratulations to the breeder and owner.
11-month-old blue and tan bitch. She had a good reach of neck and good lay back and in of shoulders; level topline and correct tailset which she maintained both statically and dynamically and moved with a steady balanced stride. Straight front, with for me, correct bone. She had a feminine Ottery head completed with a keen, interested gaze. Nice outline with good underline. Coat harsh with good pelt. Best Puppy in Breed. TPG1
