The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of Great Britain Championship Show. Sunday 24th October 2021.
It was a great privilege to judge at this well organised show and thank the exhibitors for a lovely entry. Thank you also to stewards Spencer and Claire who worked so well as a team ensuring the smooth running of the ring.
Temperaments through out continue to be excellent coats also remain reasonably consistent in texture with natural presentation. In regard to dentition I appreciate there are various views on this but found a number with small teeth and level bites. Movement in what is essentially an unexaggerated well constructed dog has moved forward but still some room for improvement. Correct movement at a natural trot with head and tail up reaching out in front can not help to impress.
