Second Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)
I would like to thank the officers and committee for their kind invitation to judge at this friendly and well-organised show. To all the exhibitors, it was a true honour to assess your wonderful dogs, with many decisions being closely contested. I thoroughly enjoyed my day—thank you. I would also like to thank my hard-working stewards, Julie & Ian, for keeping the day running smoothly.
A most appealing grizzle dog, this confident three-year-old is typical in outline—an unexaggerated and functional terrier. He possesses a balanced head shape, correct scissor bite, and dark, keen eyes. His neck is of good length and flows seamlessly into a firm, well-held topline, falling away slightly at the croup, finishing with a lovely, thick carrot tail. He is deep in brisket, narrow throughout, and easily spanned. Although a little distracted on the move today, which made his front action slightly untidy, he nonetheless showed good drive from the rear.
