First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Miss Elspeth Jackson (Clipstone)
Thanks to the National Terrier Club for their invitation to judge at this prestigious show and to the exhibitors who did me the honour of judging their dogs. I was lucky to have two efficient stewards who kept things running smoothly, thank you Laura and Dave.
The entry showed a good depth of quality. In many classes the places were hotly contested with decisions needing to be made on the narrowest of margins. I was very pleased to find that there were some good coats on thick pelts and the nice thick short tails which set off a good border so well.
A class headed by two very nice puppies
Very smart youngster who really catches the eye. Good body built on racy lines. Pleasing in neck and shoulder with straight front. Masculine otter head with broad skull, strong in muzzle with a nice dark eye. He moved out soundly to take the class. BPD
