First Place in Junior - 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:

Delightful young bitch moving very soundly, full of promise – I note I placed her dam second in open and they are very alike. Good head with keen dark eye, good reach of neck into good shoulders and deep narrow ribs. Easily spanned and in good coat. Best Junior.
