Second Place in Veteran - Dog or 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.
Blue and tan dog 9 years old and still has an excellent bite with huge teeth. Strong head with a dark eye. Good reach of neck into well laid shoulders. Straight front legs with plenty of bone running right through to his excellent well padded feet. Good topcoat and very thick pelt. Moved well coming and going but a little stiff behind in profile.
