First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. Barbara Roderick (Barterhound)
My thanks go to my efficient stewards Eddie Houston and Mark Lowry and of course to the exhibitors for the sporting way in which they accepted my placings. I was pleased that mouths were good and only found one kinked tail. Feet on some exhibits were not very well padded, not sufficient in my view to do a day’s work. Most terriers were in good coat.
Well this young lady outshone so many today to take Best Bitch and Best in Show. One I have admired ringside for some time and was thrilled to be able to go over her. Good head with keen expression but still feminine, so well balanced in body with good underline, lovely front and neat well padded feet. Good tail and moved so well. A really worthy champion I really was taken with.
