Southern Counties Judges Critique
Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers
June 1st 2024
I’d like to say a massive thank you to exhibitors for your entries. For my 1st appointment you took me through my paces! I was thrilled to have such quality to go over. The dogs were beautifully groomed and prepared. It was a windy day, and the dogs and handlers did well to show their best. So many great mouths and bites which traditionally has been an issue. Plenty of sparkling white teeth. Well done to breeders. Some really good necks, presenting upstanding terriers.
There were some excellent muscle tones and a few stood out, however I felt others were lacking. If anything, rear movement on some could be improved. Temperaments were excellent and I received a few impromptu kisses!
Thank you to my stewards for managing the ring and Southern Counties Committee for their hospitality.
