First Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, 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.
Lovely coloured blue and tan bitch I have judged before and today she just shone. Nice head and expression with strong muzzle and good bite. Just right for bone and loved her balanced outline. Well ribbed back with good topline and underline and easily spanned. Correct rear angulation with no exaggeration. Shown in a tight double coat which was in superb condition. Moved well coming and going, balanced and presenting a lovely picture in profile. I had no hesitation in awarding her BB and BIS
