BEDLINGTON JUDGE DRIFFIELD 09

Bedlington Terriers

As the wind was so bad judging took place in the marquees, at times one thought the marquees were going to take off. I think most of the dogs coped better than some of the humans.

Unfortunately the grass was rather long & at times movement was not easy to assess. As I have to judge on the day I took this into consideration.

Ribcages still concern me greatly, the Standard states ‘flat ribcage’ & there are still far too many with slightly barrel ribs. Having said that I was pleased with my winners & am sure that they will change places many times.
