An interesting entry. I found some very good class winners. I was disturbed by the frequency of poor hindquarters, often a result of poor croups & tailsets & lack of angulation & second thigh resulting in lack of drive.

1st - Keycharm Phantom by Ridgebow (Mr N Duxbury)
almost 12 months, excellent construction giving lovely neck & shoulder line, excellent quarters producing good movement at both ends. Excellent head. I found him just a little heavy in bone & a touch deep in brisket for perfect balance. Has a lot of type

9 months, racy build, correct bone. Needs more angulation at both ends. Not the strength of muzzle of 1 & needs a touch more confidence

1st - Comberdown Finnegan (Mr I & Mrs A Higham)
very showy 12 months, lovely size & good movement, in excellent coat & pelt. Very good head & eye. I would prefer just a touch more angulation but his carriage & movement made him a good winner here & he pressed hard in the challenge. Should go on to good things

1st - Lairehope Lord of the Glen At Tweedburn (Mrs C Archibald)
lovely size & type. I would like a little more width in front movement. Spannable ribcage, scored in neckline here. He could just put more into his movement & use his hocks more effectively but type & size appealed greatly
2nd - Ycart Best Shot Remmington (Mr K K Fraser, Mrs T J & Butler)
bigger dog in full coat. Tends to fly his ears but good head. Not as clean in shoulder & neck as 1 & a new coat will help. Ultra sound on the move & pressed hard here

10½ years, in great form, still raring to go. Excellent head, holds his topline well, in very good coat & pelt. Not perhaps as spannable as in his youth but still full of type.
Entries: 9 Absentees: 0
1st - Remony Winter's Diamond (Mrs A E Gregory)
7 months, small but workmanlike & full of type. Very sound on the move, spannable, in good coat, very good head. Tail a little short & set on could be better but had a lot of appeal here

8 months, very typy, lovely size, head & coat. Not as firm in topline as 1 but still carrying some puppy fat. Should finish well

Good class for depth of quality.
1st - Ravenside Zenyatta (Mr M Lowry)
top sized bitch but great type. At 18 months in the most wonderful coat & pelt, full of quality & excellent movement, good head proportions. Ears could be a little neater but looks a real working terrier. I liked her a lot. Made the last cut in the challenge, just losing out on femininity
2nd - Baywillow Brown Braid JW (Mrs G Hyslop)
19 months, lovely bitch whose size & movement & proportions appealed greatly. Lovely head & eye, good ears. Needing a little more coat to finish & that decided the issue

2nd - Thistlestone Jenny Wren ShCM (Miss J & Mr S May & Whisker)
preferred her head to 1 but not quite as clean in neck & shoulder. Very sound mover, in very good coat, I liked her enormously. 1 just a little crisper in outline on the move. Close up for RCC

6 years, lovely type & movement, spannable ribcage, excellent head & eye, very good legs & feet. I would prefer a little more coat on her to finish. Her movement & topline won her this class & RCC
2nd - CH Howthwaite In Violet (Mr R & Mrs E Barrett)
lovely body shape, excellent coat, lovely feet. Not quite as strong in muzzle as 1 who was a touch firmer in topline. However has great type & quality. More finished in body than 3

1st - Rubicon Raincloud ShCM (Mrs G Hyslop)
9 years, in great coat, very good head & movement. Still looks a fit for function working terrier
2nd - Bonosue Queen of the Nile ShCM (Hardman, Mr. I.A.)
remarkable 13 year old who is still a very good mover & really enjoys showing. 1 had the pull in angulation & dentition now. Had I been judging with my heart would have been a stand out winner. Great credit to the breed & to her owner who has his veterans in wonderful condition
3rd - Carrickfarm Maddy (Mrs V M Armstrong)
Res - Achnagairn Busy Brogue (Mrs A Fraser)
