First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Mr David G Winsley (Davmar)
I last judged the breed in 2017 so most of the dogs were new to me. I felt that the breed is losing that ‘ otter head’ appearance, fore-faces appearing to be too long. Poor front construction in many was a deciding factor in my placing, our ring didn’t help, but the conditions were the same for everyone.
Masculine boy in first class condition, he has a nice head with a good expression. Maybe carrying a touch too much body, good front & well made hindquarters. Correct tailset, in good coat with plenty of pelt. Moved soundly both ways. BV. Nice to see him take 2nd in a good Terrier Veteran group.
