AUSTRALIAN TERRIERS

JUDGE. MRS PAULA A MEACHAM

Thank you to my two lovely stewards

So glad to see how the breed has improved since I last judged.

Aussie are not meant to run around the ring, a nice steady gait that is “Free, Springy and Forceful” is all that’s required. All mouths correct

1st. Puppy. 1

JONES WYEAFOR BOLT FROM THE BLUE. B/t.

Good sized dog with lovely head, eye with a good length of neck, leading to level topline, movement a little wide today.

1st Junior. 1

DENNIS. COTARINN DIAMOND DUST OVER YORCRECHI. Red

Young dog with a nice head and eye, moves well in front, but a little wide at rear. A little more ringcraft to walk in a straight line, as at the moment he is crabbing and this effects his movement
