Second 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”.
very smart, showy dog with a strong otter head and keen expression. Good for size, narrow body of good length, spannable; shown in short, tight coat. Moved well initially but possibly was feeling the heat at the end of a long day when sent round the ring.
