SOFT COATED WHEATEN THREE COUNTIES 23 Judge: Mr M Walshaw Many thanks to the officers and committee for the invitation to judge at this lovely show, in glorious surroundings, with the Malvern Hills looking on impressively. It was a very warm day, but the dogs took it in their strides and performed admirably. Many thanks to all the exhibitors for taking the time and expense to prepare their dogs to a high standard and provided a quality entry of SCWT. It is good to see that the breed has some excellent examples been shown at present and there were many who were knocking on the door for honours today. I must admit that I was delighted with my DCC & BCC when they made the final circle of the ring in the challenge. They complemented each other very nicely and both moved so true in typical fashion, covering the ground with purpose. It nearly brought a smile to my face. Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier - Limit Dog Entries: 4 Absentees: 0 1ST 3147 - Flaxela Illuminati (ai) (Mrs P & Mr J Clarke). Stand out winner of this class, put in a performance and impressed on the move. So balanced and clean to go over, with bone and substance, with the best of jackets, thick, silky and of good colour and texture. Correct, masculine head, with strong jaw, good bite, tidy ears and dark eye and big nose. Strong through neck and well placed shoulders. Straight front , quality ribbing and depth of chest. Well muscled powerful rear that powered him around the ring. I am sure he has a bright future ahead. 2ND 3154 - Denzilly Golden Compass (Ms E & Mr W Hookway & Mason).
