First Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Margaret Sneddon (Kersfell)
I would like to thank the Committee for offering me this appointment, I was honoured to be given this opportunity. Thank you also to my stewards for all their hard work keeping the show running as smoothly as possible, for which I was very grateful. There were some lovely dogs present but front movement and lack of correct length and angulation of the upper arm continues to be a problem in some exhibits as well as size and correct coat . We should not forget the first line in the breed standard “essentially a working terrier”.
rangy, blue and tan puppy just 6 months on the day, with an attractive head which is developing nicely, keen expression, good bite with big teeth. Narrow throughout with a good length of rib, easily spanned; excellent double coat and loose pelt; balanced outline with good angulation at both ends. Free striding movement with good drive from the hindquarters and keeping a level topline. A confident, lively and happy youngster, a promising puppy.
