Judge: Deborah Wagh

Thank you to the committee for the honour of judging at your very well run show, and to my stewards for keeping everything ticking over like clockwork, thank you ladies. I thoroughly enjoyed this my first time judging both breeds, after a lifetime of owning working terriers it was great to get my hand on the breeds in the show ring. Finally thank you to all the exhibitors who brought these lovely dogs under me.

Wedge shaped head with correct proportions, moderately broad skull with lovely dark eye and correct scissor bite. Well laid back shoulder with good return of upper arm, well ribbed back with good rear angulation, thighs well-muscled, good width. She is spannable carrying a harsh coat with lovely thick skin.
