LKA English Toy Terriers

What a wonderful entry, hope it’s a positive trend. I really enjoyed judging your breed, I thought there was a good standard right through, a very sporting atmosphere, and good to see everyone having a get together afterwards. You seem to have a very wide age range amongst your exhibitors, which is also another positive. I think the greed is generally in a very good place. I was able to find exhibits that were the right basic shape who moved well right through the classes, although the extended trot wasn’t always in evidence, and is quite different from high stepping. Heads varied, I thought a few were rather wide in skull and too short in head, but on the other hand some really lovely heads too. A few slightly light eyes. Coat condition was very good, with hardly any sparse coats, and all had a shine. I was not over concerned about markings, most were acceptable if some not quite perfect. Some exhibits would benefit from being better muscled up. The breed certainly ended the year on a high, not only a large end of year show entry and then the BOB winning the Toy Group under the hugely respected Ann Ingram. Good luck to those of you working so hard to continue this progress.
