National Terrier (04-04-2015)

Second Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mr W Shorthose (Cundytyke)

Show Critique:

Overall, I felt there was reasonable quality in those forward. Some exhibitors continue to have their dogs underfed and/or carrying little muscle, both to the detriment of a terrier expected to put in a day’s work. There were a number of untypical heads – lacking width to the skull and strength to the muzzle. Please keep in mind the shape of an otter’s skull.
I was very pleased with my top winners and extend my thanks to all the exhibitors.

Placing Critique:

A bit racier in outline than 1 but equally deep in the rib and, so, spannable. Pleasing head, good reach of neck, well angulated shoulder and ribs carried well back. Topline is good and shown in a good coat.
