PARSON JACK RUSSELL JUDGE CRUFTS 14

Parsons Russell Terriers

Firstly I would just like to say that I was so honoured to be asked to judge at Crufts, I relished every moment & it is an experience I will never forget. Thanks to all the exhibitors who entered their dogs under me I appreciate the time, money & effort it takes to prepare a dog for the ring.

The KC are preaching ‘Fit for Function’ I find it so frustrating when some quality PRT are ignored in the Group Ring, I find it ironic when the PRT is one of the very few breeds in the group which can & still does the job it was intended to do.

As usual there was more depth of quality in bitches as there were in dogs. Mouths on a whole were good, & most exhibits were well presented & in great hard condition a credit to their owners. Size is definitely getting better & most exhibits were spannable. I much prefer to see the breed freestanding rather than being stacked.
