Lovely venue and we were lucky with the weather so we could be outside. My main criticisms are the number of dogs with dirty teeth, and some lacked coat so it's hard to see if it would be protective or not. Veteran Dog: (3 entered, 1 Absent)

JUNIOR HANDLING

Judge: Mrs Kim Denby-Gardner

6-11 Years.(2)

The breed has had some very good junior handlers in the past and I hope these 2 keep competing and representing the breed. 1st Abigail Levene (8). Did as she was asked, paying attention to judges position and requests well, sympathetic to her dog. 2nd Evie Mae Douglas (9). handling a dog she didn't know and who took advantage of her! But she was very aware of what she needed to do just needed to concentrate on the judge a bit more, but not so easy in the circumstances.

Firstly I'd like to thank the club's members for giving me the honour of judging this show, the club's committee and helpers who made it run so smoothly, and the exhibitors who allowed me to judge their dogs. I truly enjoyed the challenge of going over all these terriers and finding my winners. The overall standard was good but two things which I feel we all need to work on as a breed are movement and coats as both were somewhat erratic today - although coats may primarily be down to the time of year. Temperaments however were excellent which was great to see.

Minor Puppy Dog (5 Entries / 2 Absent) 1. Bigland's Heythrop Tantrum Tri Colour 7 month old - lacking coat today. Has a nice head and topline. Good size overall. Movement does need to settle - a little erratic at times today. RBPIS 2. Vaughan's Goldfern Grand Design Tri Colour 6mth old. Nice head and expression. Good coat. Front needs to tighten. Wouldn't like him to grow on any more. 3. Douglas' Gone to Ground Spick n'span Tan and White 6 month old. Slightly deeper in the chest but spannable. Good coat. Head not as strong as I and 2 but plenty of time to mature yet.

Puppy Dog (5/2) 1. Roberts and Murray's Chataway Pheasant Plucker Tan and White 10mth old. Super correct shaped head with keen expression. Nice topline, spannable, Good coat. Movement ok - showed well for handler. 2. Baker's Pacolito Prymeval Tan and White. 9mth old. Good harsh coat with super head & expression. Well balanced, spanned ok but not quite the movement of 1 today. 3. Vaughan's Goldfern Grand Design (as above)

Junior Dog (4/1) 1. Brown and Grange's Afinlea Ratzer Ringlet Smooth coated Tri Colour. Good for overall size and balance. Well shaped head with keen expression. Easy to span. Moved with drive to win the class. 2.Eastwood's Pacolito Rogue Trader at Denlyhill Tri colour with good strength of head. Easily Spanned but movement not as settled as 1. 3. Hall's Frithgarth Magic Sandpiper Not in the best of coats today but has a lovely head and expression. Slightly deeper in chest than 1 and 2 but spannable. Novice Dog (1/0) 1. Maguire's Gonetoground Academy Award Tri Colour. Good head and lovely coat. Straight in front but a little wide for me. Held topline well on the move.

Graduate Dog (2/0) 1. Bigland's Heythrop Tailwind Tan and White. He is slightly longer in balance but has a well shaped head and front with harsh coat. Movement needs to tighten 2. Hall's Frithgarth Mighty Gandalf Well proportioned head with straight front. Well balanced with super coat but slightly bigger and deeper in the chest than 1.

Post Graduate Dog (3/2) 1. Moore's Moonreapers Billy Bones Tan and White. Smooth coat. A workmanlike dog with good hard muscle and condition. Super head and easy to span. Moved with purpose but at times slightly erractic and losing topline.

Limit Dog (8/1) 1.Broadberry's Ratscallion Tactical Move Tan and White. Strong head of correct shape, with good length of neck. Straight front and lovely outline especially when on the move. Super coat. 2. Sutton's Pacolito Persona at Springbeck Smart dog with well shaped head and correct topline. Sadly lacking in coat today. 3. Burnhill's Avonwylde Stormer Smooth coat.

In good coat and easily spannable. Thoroughly deserved his DCC and BIS. 2. Vaughan's Ch Parruss Comanche Chief JW Smart dog who moves with drive & purpose. He has well shaped head & neck with kind expression. Slightly deeper in the chest than 1 but spannable. Correct topline, shorter coupled than some. Worked well with handler, pleased to award him RCC 3. Hooley's Ch Hoolmark Johnny Ringo Another well balanced, strong terrier with great body and outline. Nice length of neck. Sadly coat lacking today.

Veteran Dog (1/0) 1. Brown and Grange's Ch Afinlea Roadside Skipper An old favourite of mine who seems to defy the years - still as showy as ever with great head and expression. Strong quarters, moved with drive covering the ground effortlessly. Pushed hard for RDCC, but very happy to award him BVIS.
