First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, 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”.
very smart 8 months puppy, head developing nicely; strong jaw with big teeth, neat ears, dark eyes with keen expression. Excellent double coat and thick, loose pelt. Narrow, straight front with good legs and feet; nice length to body and easy to span. Moved true with good reach in front and plenty of drive from the rear. Never stopped showing but was more unsettled in the challenge when he had a change of handler. A promising puppy.
