CRUFTS 2004

Isadora Duncan of Coquet Water JWW '03

(V: NL + Int. CH Needwood Tricky Dicky - M: NL + Int. CH Emma Peel of Coquet Water)

BEST OF BREED AT CRUFTS

Crufts - Dandie Dinmont Terriers - March 7th - Judge Mrs. E. Hewitt

An 8.30 a.m. start meant an even more difficult journey for exhibitors especially with all the traffic congestion locally !

It was good to see such a big ring with plenty of room to move the dogs, though moving around in the halls was not comfortable.

The quality was very mixed with bitches, on the whole, being better than the dogs.

Quite a few lack heart room, with little substance between the front legs, leading to unsoundness.

Soundness in some cases was a real problem which is disappointing to see at such a prodigious event.

Size was within the Standar in most cases, though smaller should not mean lacking in bone.

A Dandie should be a tough, working dog with substance.

There was only one dodgy mouth though the sizes of teeth varied from fairly small to enourmous !

Ears tended to be of reasonable fineness, though placement varied.

There were fewer high set tails than I have noticed in recent years.

Coats were mainly good with few being over trimmed.

CC & RCC winners well deserved their succes.

Correct size and type, with plenty of bone and substance without being stuffy. Plenty of heart room. Very pretty head. Lovely eye andexpression. Lovely rich mustard coat of correct texture. Nice neat feet. Very sound and moved freely and happily.

Clear BCC winner
