PARSON RUSSELL CRUFTS 22 Parson Russell Terrier - Judge: Mrs M Hooley What an honour and privilege it was to judge this lovely breed at Crufts 2022 and a huge thank you to all exhibitors for putting their dogs forward for me to judge and hope you enjoyed your day. The overall standard of the dogs and bitches was good and bodes well for the future. On the whole mouths were good, temperaments were good and the majority were easily spanned. A few exhibits struggled with the occasion and possibly lacking ringcraft training but to some extent I put that down to lockdown. Special thanks to my two stewards, Ken Francis and Tracey Gray, who ensured that the ring ran smoothly. 1 Horge’s Ch Foxthorn Huron At Ratscallion. Tri dog with spot on tail, full of type, wedge shape head, dark eyes, correct ear set. Good lay of shoulder, strong and straight legs, easy to span, skin thick and loose, slight rise over the loin, good tail set. Sound movement and well balanced. Pleased to award him Best Veteran. 2 Blair, Blair & Hadley’s Cleeve Hill Kasper (Imp Bel) (Al). 11 years of age and a very fit white dog, wedge shape head, lovely dark eye and good bite.
