First Place in Yearling - 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”.
grizzle with a lovely, feminine head that has a good skull, short muzzle and good bite; dark eyes with keen expression, nice neat ears. Straight front, good feet; narrow throughout and easily spanned. Excellent deep coat and good pelt; level topline, which she kept on the move and a short, thick tail. Beautiful movement, free striding and true with good drive.
