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

First Place in Open - 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 dog who was presented in super condition, he has an excellent coat, good otter head with neat ears, lovely dark eye with keen expression, good dentition, correct depth of muzzle. Nice reach of neck which flowed into good shoulder placement, excellent topline which he held on the move. His movement was excellent both coming and going. Pleased to award him BOB.
