PARSON RUSSELL JUDGE LEEDS 15

Parson Russell Terriers

Thank you exhibitors for entering at Leeds, I hope that you enjoyed your day as much as I did. Before commenting on individual dogs a few general observations; the first word of the Breed Standard is ‘workmanlike’ for me this is an important point, with it comes breed type & condition. Dogs should be neither too fat nor too thin & should show some muscletone, they should have a good protective coat, stand on good firm strong feet & have a loose thick pelt. Combine these things with a free easy stride that covers plenty of ground, & in my opinion you are heading towards a workmanlike terrier of the type that goes ground. The Breed Standard then lays down the finer points of the Breed & we all interpret the Standard slightly differently, I do not believe in fault judging & prefer to judge the dog as a whole taking into account its virtues & weighing them against the virtues of other exhibits.

Two other most important words in the Standard are ‘bold & friendly’, perhaps a few puppies were a little over friendly but then this had to be forgiven in my opinion as it is important that they enjoy our hobby with us. Breed type was quite varied as was size, in some cases one point may not have been totally to my liking but I forgave when considering against the opposition & placed dogs accordingly.
