I would like to thank the club and its members for inviting me to my first assignment in the UK and to all exhibitors for entering. There was a very nice entry and mostly of high quality dogs.  My overall impression is that most entries were of excellent type and temperament, they had very nice coat-quality and presentation. A few exceptions, otherwise nice mouth-pigmentation and correct bites.  My only concern is too many narrow fronts and briskets. The show was held in a super atmosphere and I was very well taken care of this National Terrier weekend by Wendy, Lyndia and my skilled ring steward Tony.
