First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Richly coloured grizzle and tan. Just right for size and just enough bone. Nice head with short strong muzzle and good bite. Moderately broad in skull and lovely small well set V shaped ears. Well ribbed back and very easily spanned. Good shoulders and although I would have preferred slightly more angulation front and back, he was very balanced both free standing and on the move. Shown to perfection in a correct double coat with thick pelt, I loved the fact that he was not overdone in any way. BD and RBIS
