First Place in Yearling - 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”.
handy size 18 months grizzle with a strong otter head, short muzzle and good dentition, dark eyes with keen expression. Good angulation at both ends; narrow and easily spanned; harsh coat and good pelt. Moved very well, keeping a level topline and good tail carriage.
