First Place in Post Graduate - 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”.
Lovely size youngster with a nice otter head, strong jaw, scissor bite with big teeth and dark expressive eyes. Good length of neck flowing into well laid back shoulders, level topline and firm loin. Narrow, straight front, small, tight feet; nice length of rib and easily spanned, harsh coat and loose pelt. Moved really well from all angles with good drive from the hindquarters. Considered for higher awards.
