WELSH CRUFTS 2010 Welsh Terrier Judge(s): MR R F NICOLSON WELSH JUDGE CRUFTS 10 Welsh Terriers PD (1) 1 Snow’s Felstead Fourscore, promising young dog from this famous kennel, well bodied up, beautiful lean head, dark eye & well placed shoulders, tight front, good reach of neck, short coupled, tail on top & good bend of stifle, moved well. BP. JD (2) 1 Pickering’s Cannyyatton Hot Shot for Jolliver, best mover in this class, nice head, coat & colour, used his ears to advantage, short coupled, tail on top & well presented; 2 Rundles’ Valucis Vitally Sparky, more trimming would help here, not using his ears. Good coat & colour. PGD (3) 1 Robertson’s Felstead Funny Fellow at Renevis, have watched this dog develop into the show dog he is today, beautiful head & expression, good reach of neck, level topline & good tailset, good coat texture & colour, moved well & a credit to his owner/handler. RCC; 2 Williams’ Taicligh Star Trooper, nice head & dark eye, fairly well presented although more trimming would get the best out of him. Good coat & colour, moved well; 3 Franklyn’s Jolliver Magical Wizzard, moved OK, wouldn’t settle.
