Midland Counties CS (29-10-2010)

Second Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Phil D Sharp

Show Critique:

A magnificent entry, the highest in the terrier group. Some exhibits did not have a good otter head & appeared too coarse. Movement was also an issue, as it should be the hindquarters that provide the propulsion, with the topline remaining reasonably level as the dog moves. Tails were somewhat better than when I last judged at this level. I was pleased with my final line-up for both dogs & bitches.

Class Critique:

A much better class, with several good dogs in contention, but a number had poor coats.

Placing Critique:

close decision between him & 3. Pleasing front end & head & good on the move, nicely proportioned throughout, I liked him a lot
