First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Miss Elspeth Jackson (Clipstone)
Thanks to the National Terrier Club for their invitation to judge at this prestigious show and to the exhibitors who did me the honour of judging their dogs. I was lucky to have two efficient stewards who kept things running smoothly, thank you Laura and Dave.
The entry showed a good depth of quality. In many classes the places were hotly contested with decisions needing to be made on the narrowest of margins. I was very pleased to find that there were some good coats on thick pelts and the nice thick short tails which set off a good border so well.
I do love my veterans and this class did not disappoint
Feminine 9 year old pleasing in head with strong muzzle, good dark eye and neat ears. She is fit for her age and moved out well keeping her level top line. She is spannable and good for size. One of those mentioned in the preamble with a good carrot like tail. BV
