My thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge at the terrier ‘classic’. A most enjoyable day. Thank you to my competent steward & to the exhibitors for bringing their dogs.

Temperaments were excellent, & dentition in the main too. Presentation overall was good.

My overall impression of the entry is more consistent quality in the bitches. Hind movement in general could be better; conformation, condition, ring training & handling all played their part.

I was pleased to see several quality puppies, such a pleasure to judge.

Both CC winners were made up on the day. Well done.
