Second Place in Veteran - Bitch, Judge: Mrs B Roderick

Show Critique:

Firstly I would like to thank my stewards for their assistance during the day.
Thanks to the exhibitors that sportingly took my decisions, it was a pleasure to judge some lovely terriers. I would just suggest that over baiting not only slows up the judging, especially with young puppies but does spoil the terriers outline in the final line up of the classes on occasion. That said it was pleasing to find the temperaments sound in the exhibits, despite the various distractions and of course the clanking of the ducting under the carpet. Thank you again for your entry.

Placing Critique:

This 8 year old moved out well and pressed the winner hard but one must consider the age when judging a veteran class. A lovely terrier with sound movement, in good jacket has a good head with good dentition still. Well balanced in body with racy quarters. Good feet and front.
