First Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mr Mark Lowry (Ravenside)
A big thank you to the committee for giving me the opportunity to judge this show and to my stewards on the day for making things run smoothly.
Also thanks to the exhibitors for their support and making it an enjoyable day.
On the whole I thought the standard of the exhibits was high and I was happy with both line ups. I was delighted with my main winners as they could hold their own in any company.
Coats were of various lengths, but when top coats were in the vast majority were what is required, dense and harsh.
Although a working terrier, some tidying up, especially around the feet could help some exhibits go further when pressing for top honours.
Most dogs were in fit hard condition but two or three adult dogs were lacking any substance whatsoever and would be no match for Charlie on any day of the week.
blue and tan that stood out a mile in a strong class. Beautiful feminine head with keen eye. Good reach o neck, super top line and tailset. Nice flat rib, good catlike feet. Correct dense blue coat with thick pelt. Moved around the ring with ease, presented in excellent condition. I had great pleasure in giving her Best in Show.
