Parson Russell Terriers

The opportunity to judge is always an interesting experience & I thank the exhibitors. The Parsons today were split in quality terms with some of the dogs being rather disappointing while the bitches showed much more quality right through. Limit & Open were the star classes of the day with all being able to change places with each other without any problem on a different day & circumstances.

I have big hands but for the first time was unable to span some of the animals under me; yes it is only part of the Standard but a very important one. Everything in a Standard is always open for debate but wording of ‘moderately’ high set for the tail isn’t mid to low however you look at it. All were carried well but the lower set does have an effect on the rear structure. Well done with the improvement in rears that were generally better than I have seen for a long time, the breed looks so much better without a straight backend. Interesting to discover the two CC winners were both first timers & both imports!

MPD

Two very nice babies with everything before them. Both balanced, both toplined, both with desired head proportions, expressions & toplines. Both have the verve & enthusiasm of youth but Taber was a little more mature in his outlook & slightly more in control of his legs; hence the placing.
