The Welsh Kennel Club Championship Show 14th August 2025 Jack Russell Terrier A heartfelt thank you to all exhibitors for entering their lovely Jacki’s under me. It was the first of a wonderful four-day show with a great atmosphere and friendly people. Thank you to my experienced and helpful stewards. What would us judges do without them? Much respect and appreciation. Thank you! I had a lovely entry with high quality dogs, which I found had excellent fronts and correct coats. A few tails were curled too much over the back. Excellent movers and lots of great terrier temperaments. I enjoyed it a lot! Veteran Dog (2,0) 1st 1402 Thornley & Smith’s Locheil Stop Right There. Strong, active and lively 7 year old who deserved his first place because of his balance and general appearance, which I really liked. Very nice head with keen expression, dark eyes, and strong muzzle, a bit long but still correct, scissor bite. Correct in forechest and ribcage, easily spanned. Lovely rough coat, correct size and substance. Covered the ground really well with good drive. I loved his real terrier confident temperament. Best Veteran Dog. 2nd 1379 Jenkin’s Twinan Bear Foot On The Beach. Nice veteran dog with a very sweet temperament. Ticked a lot of boxes but could show a bit more real terrier temperament. Nice head, muzzle strong with good scissor bite. Lovely dark eye, almond shaped. Very nice earset, well-carried, nice pigmentation. Level topline, easy to span his correct ribcage.
