KERRY BLUE JUDGE NATIONAL TERRIER 14

Thank you to all the exhibitors who entered under me and sought my opinion. I was pleased to see a number exhibitors who has travelled over from Ireland. I think it is fair to say there are a range of breed types being exhibited at present with some heaviest and coarseness creeping in the breed which I personally do not favour. I was disappointed that some exhibits had dirty teeth and dirty eyes. There seem to be some untidy mouths due to overcrowding and I came across one fused tooth which I have never seen in kerries before, although I know it has been an issue in other terrier breeds. Movement was variable with some exhibits lacking reach and drive which I like to see however this shouldn't be at the expense of quality in front and back movement.

A super class to judge.

1. Mr J Weatherhead's Hallsblu Fibber Magee, Ir Jun Ch. A very elegant, stylish dog. Presented to perfection, which is what I would expect from this kennel. Seriously good head and keen expression. Correct coat and colour. A bit of a handful on the move and for me I would like a bit more extension in movement but could not deny him the CC & BOB on the day. A quality dog.

2. Mr F & Mrs J Pinfold's Cyres Licenced to Thrill. Another very nice type. I really liked him. Short backed dog with excellent reach of neck. Super tailset. Drove well from behind. It was a close call and if he had used his ears he would have been my winner. RCC.
3. Miss C Clarke O'Neill's Ch Lemracdream The Navigator.
