First Place in Graduate - Bitch, 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.
Shown in good thick coat this girl has a decent neck of good length, good underline and pleasing top line with well set tail of correct length. She possesses an otter like head with a good muzzle and broad skull with neat ears.
