WEST HIGHLAND WHITE TERRIER

JD (1,0)

1. Libich’s Ivo. 17 mth old who used himself at all times. Pleasing neck, firm level back but with a touch more length, fair croup but tail carried well. Masculine headpiece with slightly domed skull, pleasing proportions, eyes paced well apart, ears set on well, distinct stop and good dentition. He stands on well padded feet and has very good pigmentation. Moving out on the go around, nice and firm when going away but could be more accurate coming towards. Pretty good coat texture. Well handled. Reserve Best Dog & Best Special Beginners.

LD (2,1)

1. Fox’s Hillsted Same Direction. Strongly built 3 yr old who was good to go over and very well presented here. Good for type and outline with muscular neck, firm level topline, excellent rib, breadth to loins, correct croup and tail pleased for both set and carriage. Quality head with masculine expression; excellent skull, distinct stop, excellent eye and ear, strong jaws, scissor bite and very good pigmentation. Carrying good bone, I liked his angles front and rear and when gaiting, he moved freely on the down and back and displayed very good profile action too and used himself as he went. Excellent texture to jacket. Best Dog & Best of Breed.

JB (1,0)

1. Libich’s Arielka. 15 mth old who is totally feminine but needs more time. Muscular neck, firm backline although with more length than the ideal, rib developing well for age but could be shorter in the couplings. Feminine head with pleasing skull, correct stop, eyes placed well apart and dark enough, ears set on well and correct dentition. She stands on good feet with thick, dark pads. Moving pretty well on the go around, accurate when viewed from behind but could be better when coming at you. Fair coat texture. Good pigmentation.
