First Place in Post 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.
Loved this blue girl’s type and size. Neck of moderate length, well laid shoulders, well let back ribs to strong loin and good hindquarters give her a pleasing balanced outline. A lovely double coat, on a thick pelt, completed the picture.
