First Place in Open - 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”.
upstanding, racy dog with a lovely masculine otter head, dark eyes. Nice neck into clean shoulders, well constructed, narrow throughout with good length to body, easily spanned, level topline. Harsh coat with loose pelt. Moved true, covering the ground well. RDCC
