First Place in Limit - 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 blue and tan with a strong but feminine otter head with dark expressive eyes. Narrow straight front with well boned legs and neat, well padded feet. Good conformation throughout with a nice length of rib and good underline, easily spanned; well set and carried short tail of good shape. Lovely double coat of good texture and correct pelt. Moved true with reach in front and good drive from the hindquarters. Very well presented, smart and never stopped showing. RBCC
