First Place in Limit - 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:

A beautiful bitch fits the standard so well, and as would be expected moved so soundly. Good head and expression, nice reach of neck into good shoulders and narrow but deep chest well ribbed and racy quarters. Good tail and tail carriage headed a lovely class of bitches and was pleased to award her the reserve challenge.
