Midland Bedlington Terrier Club

THE MIDLAND BEDLINGTON TERRIER CLUB OPEN SHOW 29TH SEPTEMBER 2018

A lovely well organised show with a great friendly atmosphere. My thanks to the committee for their

invitation to Judge this show ,to my Stewards for their hard work & to my exhibitors for their entries .

Dogs /Bitches were in good healthy condition , & super groomed a thing that is so necessary for this

breed . Some movement was close behind & some very close coupling making the dog/bitch

appeared ‘hump backed’. No pad problems observed today.

However I was pleased with my overall placings & was interested to see that I had placed

daughter above her mother in one class .This happened to me in one show the owner of

the daughter apologised but as I explained to her she had actually endorsed that I was doing the

right thing by showing that I had improved my line , & on the day one is judging one bitch’s

qualities against the other. I was also advised that I had a father & son entered in the same class it

was .Nice to see them competeting together
