May I thank the Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club very much for this appointment, and also the exhibitors who presented me with some very nice dogs to go over, all very much appreciated.
I noted three or four dogs with not very good fronts and heads not in proportion to muzzles, though coats were on the whole very good. I did miss those fine ear leathers with only a few having these. However, on the whole the dogs were of good quality and I was honoured to judge this show. Many thanks to both Committee and Exhibitors

Best opposite sex puppy - Morris''s Cassencarrie Miss Grace at Pennywave
MPD.1ST Hulme's Hendell Crofter, a long low and weasly puppy with lovely tan legs which are not seen so often these days. This youngster did extremely well considering he was with a new owner (Mrs Bedborough) and at his first show. He has a lovely head to muzzle ratio, cheeky expression, with dark round eyes and a strong set of teeth. A very promising puppy who should go on to do well if his appearance now is anything to go by
2ND Shore's Swanwillow Sea Captain, slightly bigger than one, in nice coat, fine ear leathers, good ribbing, and moving along nicely, a happy little puppy with a lovely dark eye, low tail set and nice expression, nice topline. Very well presented and moving happily.
PD.1st Tinsley's Cloverwood Blues and Royals. A lovely balanced type with a delightful expression, good coat, tan legs, low set ears and tail, dark round eye, lovely head & muzzle proportions, nice ribbing, presented in excellent condition. Moved well. One to watch in future……BPD & BP
2nd Stone's Lindlay Lord of the Isles, bigger puppy than one, somewhat longer in the muzzle, coat was of correct texture and in good condition, moved quite well and should mature on nicely.
J.D 1st.Jacka Slater's Cassencarrie Robbie Burns, presented in lovely coat, nice neck and expression, nice ear leathers, moved well, but tended to flatten out a little on the move, time should improve this, and although standing alone he deserved his first place.

PG dog. (4 entries 1 abs')1st.Skitt & Jones Vistca Vincent. Short of coat but enough to feel correct texture, nicely boned, good heart room, good front and rear angulation, head and muzzle in proportion, Low ear set, kept his top line on the move, and moved well. When his owner gets his coat in order should do well.

2nd Marshall's Deegandan Lavender, a very sweet puppy, I liked her a lot. Correct coat texture, good mouth, ear and tail set.

3rd Derry's Vistca Voodoo
Junior Bitch. 1st Derry's Vistca Voleta, was not so impressed as she entered the ring due to a profuse coat, but upon examination found she had a lovely neck, good mouth, nice bone, correctly proportioned head, nice front and good angulation. She moved off well and seems a sound little bitch, just needs less coat to show off her developing assets…..V. promising.
2nd Morris's Pennywave Amaryllis, Super youngster, it was a nit picking contest with these two, and apart from coat length the same could be said about both of these bitches at this time, lovely little mover with a sweet and feminine expression, I hope she continues with her winning ways. V. promising

Graduate Bitch.

She seemed very sound with good tail set, nice ribbing, kept her topline on the move, a promising youngster.
2nd Smith's Somercloud Starprize at Glendandy, nice mustard jacket, very pretty head, moved quite well although at this stage I preferred hind the movement of one. Maturity may well make a difference.
