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

First Place in Open - Bitch, 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 bitch who was presented in excellent condition, she has a good otter head, nice eye and expression, neat ears, good depth of muzzle, excellent front, nice tight feet, good reach of neck flowing into good lay of shoulder, not too deep in brisket, good level topline which she held on the move. Good jacket and pelt. Pleased to award her BOS.
