Second Place in Open - 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.
Super class with quality right down the line and topped by two eye catching blue bitches.
Being of similar breeding it is unsurprising that similar remarks apply as to the first. She is another lovely blue with a good tight double jacket on a good pelt. She comes to hand nicely being easily spanned. She has a straight front and nicely angulated hind quarters. Like her half-sister she shows to advantage and catches the eye. RCC
