Midland Counties CS (29-10-2010)

Second Place in Open - Bitch, 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:

Two delightful bitches led the way here but I just preferred the lines of l.

Placing Critique:

well known Border & a worthy ch. Just a shade longer in the back than 1. Many of the same comments apply. In excellent condition & coat, moved well. RCC
