Lovely wavy coat of correct texture and colour. Head proportions OK, eye could be darker, Good front, moved OK, not co-operating with the handler today, perhaps the ring was rather small for him. TERRIER GROUP I was spoilt for choice here with the first 3 all very close up. In the end 1st was the Bedlington Timberose Rhapsody in Blue ShCM who’s typical, understated performance just pipped the lovely WHWT Hopecharm Bit of Fruitcake to 2nd 3rd The Norfolk Terrier, Atkinson’s Charlie Blake at Moortop, a dog I like very much and have given a RCC to, in lovely coat and condition, just not the front movement of the first 2 today. 4th the JRT Genial Gru Bohemia White Hunter at Sonateeka TERRIER PUPPY GROUP Only 2 puppies here today but delighted to award the Grp1 to Kell’s Amicaro Light Up the Sky who says Norwich all through. Moved out well showing her socks off today. Group 2 the JRT Montravia Abracadabra. Judge Cathy Thompson-Morgan Go To Top Of Page
