1st: Halley Baumgartner’sTuscan Red Varvara. This was by far the best class of the day with a number of quality bitches to chose from. A real pleasure to judge this class.

Good straight front with tight feet, clean neck and good lay of shoulder, depth of brisket and spring of rib, firm loin, correct topline and well set on tail. Well made rear end with moderate bend of stifle, well muscled. True mover both ways

Plenty of substance all through. Well made rear with moderate bend of stifle. Moved well both ways, didn’t quite use her tail to create that typical terrier character.
