Thank you to the officers and committee for
inviting me to judge at this prestigious terrier show. I was welcomed to
the show by the president, Colin Powell, and quickly ushered into the
judge’s reception. Our hostess was excellent, advising us she had been
up since 3.00 am preparing our lunches. She was an excellent hostess and
my stewards we very friendly and helpful.

JUNIOR (2)

at such an early age and not surprised. Excellent example of the breed,
beautifully balanced and a delight to go over. Well proportioned head
with wide skull and well placed erect ears. Strong muzzle with perfect
bite. Good shoulders and neck. Level topline and long ribcage. Nice tail
set, but carried a little over the back. Standing straight in front on
super feet and nicely angulated hindquarters, with plenty behind the
tail. Moved extremely well, with hocks flexing. Good hard, wiry coat
with undercoat, finished the picture. BEST OF BREED & SHORTLISTED IN

2. Hayes’
Ragus Fabulous Clown ShCM. Quite different to his kennel mate.
Excellent personality and character. Well proportioned head and general
outline. Appeared higher in leg and longer bodied. Level topline and
well set tail. Nice neat feet. Coat OK. Not really his day, not moving
that well or having the body of my 1st placed. The exhibitor
advised judges tend to like one or the other and I preferred the bitch.
