National Terrier (04-04-2009)

First Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Mr. Frank Nicholls (Halcus)

Show Critique:

Many thanks to everyone for an excellent entry, both in numbers and quality. While there were many well made exhibits it became a frustrating experience at times trying to find those with a decent coat, many having presumably been stripped out following Crufts in preparation for the season ahead, after all they can’t be in coat all of the time! Front movement again was a problem, not so much due to under reaching or circus pony, high stepping, but pinning and knitting. Heads were a mixed bag, one or two with excessive stops and rounded skulls but none excessively broad. There were some “snipey” muzzles present.

Placing Critique:

Blue and tan in excellent coat with lovely feminine head, her overall appearance gives an impression of sturdiness, well made throughout with excellent bone, lovely small feet and good at the rear, moved very well.
