National Terrier (04-04-2015)

First Place in Yearling - 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:

Very well balanced with no exaggeration. Pleasing head and ear with feminine neck. Deep enough in chest but free in the shoulder. Well angulated hindquarters and moved true, with drive, strode out well and tracked up.
