Fortunately there were no health issues evident but the breed in general is beginning to lose the good heads that the Standard requires & no amount of long hair will compensate. Grooming plays a big part with this breed but underneath should be a working terrier with good bone & substance.

My BOB went to Hughes’ Ch Brychdyn Diamond Geezer & I was delighted to see him get G3 & my BP was Cooper’s Brorastar Wanna Be Your Man. He did the breed proud by getting PG1.
