Yorkshire, Lancashire & Cheshire Border Terrier Club Championship Show (30-09-2023)

First Place in Veteran - Bitch, Judge: Mrs J Guvercin (Glebeheath)

Show Critique:

Thank you to the committee for this appointment, everyone worked hard to make it an enjoyable day. This venue always has a super atmosphere, however, the ring is too small really to see outlines, being far too near the dogs and side profile movement is very difficult to see, let alone for the dogs to perform really well. Many moved poorly, not liking the smooth mats and although I had to judge them on this today, I think most would move much better outside in a big grass ring.

Placing Critique:

very nice ottery headed grizzle with expressive eye and well placed neat ear.Good neck into firm topline with well set thick, carroty tail. Excellent deep double jacket and thick pelt, covering a body of good length which was still spannable. Lovely side gait, just a little close going away but was a comfortable winner here.
