First Place in Open, Judge: Mrs M Fleming (Flegato)
Thank you to the Committee for inviting me to judge at this very well run and friendly show. My ring stewards Michael and Rebecca were very efficient and helpful and organised the ring in the best way – thank you. And finally, thank you to all the exhibitors who entered and who were able to come and bring their dogs – it was a privilege for me to go over them.
6 year old quality grizzle dog presented in fit condition. Excellent typical head with a moderately broad flat skull, strong jaw and muzzle and correctly set ears. Correct scissor bite. Narrow straight front, good length of rib and easy to span. Coat of excellent harsh texture coming through, best of pelts and good undercoat. Balanced front and rear angulation. Not overdone in any way, he oozed type. He moved around the ring with drive and not put a foot wrong. Pleased to award him BOB and watch him being shortlisted in a large quality terrier group.
