National Terrier (04-04-2015)

Second Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, 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:

Blue and tan with good head with neat ears. Narrow, fairly long body with good topline and tail-set. Coat of correct texture and density. Not the same freedom of movement behind as 1.
