SOFT COATED WHEATEN JUDGE NAT DOG SHOW 09

Soft-coated Wheaten Terriers

Once again it was a pleasure to judge my breed. All exhibits were well presented & not once did I have to clean my hands after handling an exhibit. Some teeth needed attention but on the whole most were pearly white. Still not perfect bites in some mouths but there are worse faults.

We are certainly loosing some breed points, small ears & big black noses were scarce. Pleased to be able to say did not find any pale (yellow) eyes today. It was a pity that at this show the outside rings are not used but I think most exhibits were happy inside with such a big ring.
