FOX SMOOTH JUDGE THREE COUNTIES 10

Smooth Fox Terriers

It is a few years since I judged Smooths & I am sorry & disappointed to say that the breed doesn’t seem to have improved. Movement is still awful, lacking in drive & pinning in front. Fronts are either too wide or too narrow, so consequently movement suffers. Ears are still too large on some, giving the wrong expression.

On the plus side, I was very pleased with my winners temperaments & condition was very good.

PD (1)

1 Lewis’ Dobelands Silent Danger, b/w, lovely head & ears, good shoulders, legs & feet, all white body, good tailset, good balance, strong quarters, moved well. Should have a bright future. BP.

JD (1)

1 Brookes’ Mischief In Disguise for Zetamaz, t/w, nice head, good length. Ears rather heavy. Decent front, good shoulders, moved OK.

PGD (3)

1 Tindle’s Jesuie Un Rock Star, t/w, very compact, good head & expression, long neck into good shoulders, short body, good tailset, strong quarters, in good condition, moved well. RCC;

2 Richardson’s Glendraterra Pied Piper, t/w, nice head. Ears rather heavy. Good legs & feet, decent shoulders. Longer in back than 1. In good coat & moved OK.
