First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mrs Elizabeth Barrett (Howthwaite)
I would like to thank the committee of the Scottish BTC for their warm welcome and hospitality. Thank you also to my ring stewards Joyce Orr and Helen McKenzie for keeping things running smoothly. I am grateful to those exhibitors who braved the weather to attend the show. All the dogs were entire and mouths were very good. Coats were on the whole just on their way in which I expected just before the coming show season. A number of exhibits were carrying rather too much condition for a fit functional terrier.
Typey grizzle and tan dog. Lovely head and expression with strong short muzzle, flat skull and well set ears. Well laid shoulder and ribbed well back. Good topline and underline and thick tail. Standing on thickly padded feet. Top coat just coming in but in a thick undercoat and pelt. Although up to size, his bone, angulations and length were all in proportion. He moved better in the challenge than in the class where his strong well let down hocks propelled him round the ring with ease. RBD
