Parson Russell Terrier Club Championship Show November 8th 2008
My thanks to the sporting exhibitors, my excellent stewards and the show manager. I set out to find examples of a working terrier in the show ring, however many exhibits lacked hard condition and in some cases were too thin to survive in the field. If a balance has to be found between the working terrier and the show terrier it should not be at the cost of those qualities which allow the dog to perform the function for which it was originally bred. Good tight feet are essential for a terrier that has to “run with hounds” Sadly, many exhibits had open feet and two or three had almost hare feet. Rear movement in many cases was far too close behind to deliver the drive a working terrier needs. Almost all of the terriers were spannable, but some did carry a little too much weight on the day. Kevin Moore
