Northern Counties Sporting Terrier Golden Jubilee Open Show (17-03-2024)

First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Margaret Davies (Glenorchy)

Show Critique:

Many Thanks to the Society for inviting me to judge at their Golden Jubilee Open Show. Thank you to my two stewards who kept things running smoothly and also my grateful thanks to all the exhibitors who came under me and gave me a lovely entry.
Most of the exhibits were presented in a good clean condition, but a few could have done with a little finer tuning on their presentation. Just one level bite.
I find the true otter head is disappearing and movement left a lot to be desired, fronts were knitting and rears were moving close behind. Apart from that, I had an enjoyable day, thank you all.

Placing Critique:

lovely pup with good otter head, dark eye with keen expression, neat ears, correct dentition, good front, neat feet, not too deep in his brisket, good lay of shoulders, good tail set, nice level topline which he maintained well on the move, super jacket and pelt. Pleased to award him Best Puppy
