WINDSOR CHAMPIONSHIP DOG SHOW

Judges Critiques

Miss Nicola SPENCER

Judging: Terrier Group, The Windsor Special Beginners Stakes

Windsor Championship Show

June 29th - July 2nd 2023

Judge: Nicola Spencer 

Thank you to the Windsor Committee past and present, not least the late Secretary Mrs Irene Terry, for affording me this opportunity to judge my very first all Groups Championship Show Stakes Classes, which were thankfully rescheduled after Covid cancellations. I was blessed with some absolutely outstanding dogs to assess across all four days which made this special occasion even more memorable and in the larger classes many excellent exhibits went cardless.  

Windsor Special Beginners Stakes Terrier/Toy (28/13)

1 Davies' Diamon Crown, Welsh Terrier

Smart Welsh Terrier who stood out for shape and excellent presentation to her harsh jacket and furnishings.  Well balanced and compact in build. Pleasing head of good length with lovely dark eye and well set ear. Strong neck. Sturdily built through body and limbs with good angulation in fore and hindquarters. Stands true front and back. Moved out soundly.

2 Johnson’s Moretonia Royal Wren, ETT

Very close decision with the winner.  A little beauty of an ETT that is so well balanced and with the requisite elegance.  Super head and eye with typical, well placed candle shaped ear.  Compact in body with the correct curve shape through the backline. Presented in first class condition. Sound, easy mover.

3 Murphy’s Ruxleywyre Goddess Brigit, Wire Fox Terrier
