Thank you, Welsh Terrier Club of America for the honor of judging the BEST breed at Montgomery County Kennel Club! Thank you to the breeders, owners, and handlers for showing me their beautiful dogs! The overall quality was very good with good type and good condition!
My Winners Dog was from the Bred by Exhibitor class. He is a square dog with good bone and substance. Good top line and tailset. He was in great condition. He moved and showed well! He has a correct head with almond eyes and well-set ears. He has a good bite with full dentition.
The Reserve Dog was from the 12-18 month class. He was also a very nice dog with good type. He is square with a nice neck flowing into his shoulders. Good top line and tailset. He was in great condition. He was not moving well on the day but is a very nice young dog.
I fell in love with my Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, Best of breed winner when she walked in the ring! She is perfect type, size, and condition! She has a beautiful neck flowing into her shoulders with a great top line and tailset. Good rear angulation with low hocks. She floated around the ring with reach and drive holding a terrier outline. Great bone and body with well sprung ribs. Beautiful balanced head with a flat back skull dark almond eyes, and correct ears giving her a true Welsh expression.
