I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge a breed that I have been involved with since October 2012. You all did an amazing job under difficult conditions.
English toy terriers are truly an exceptional breed to own you.
Thanks to all exhibitors for bringing their beautiful dogs for me to judge I was humbled and overwhelmed.
It was an extremely difficult job to do . Pleased to see quality exhibits of our beautiful breed. Huge thanks to my amazing stewards for keeping the ring running smoothly at all times . I couldn't have done it without you. The extreme weather conditions of cold and rain made it even harder for both me and the exhibitors/dogs. Movement and standing wasn't how it would be in a warm dry environment. A day I certainly won't forget as my first judging appointment.
Puppy : (3/1)

Pallisandre time to dance.
Well ,what a little firecracker!,I loved her.
Gorgeous 6 month old bitch of correct size.
Lovely narrow head with well set candle flame ears. Sparkling dark almond eyes,long slender neck falling to shoulder followed by a gentle curved topline. Lovely deep chest,well sprung ribs,rich tans , compact feet. Under the wet weather conditions she moved well with confidence and good rear drive,this gained her my BPIB and RBIB .I look forward to seeing her future in the ring.
2: Pendlebury's Ettology stand and deliver.
Lovely masculine 7 month old dog. Super wedge shaped head,well set ears used well,long neck, gentle sloping topline, well muscled thigh, lovely rich tans . Moved well in the wet weather but was a little more hesitant than 1st .
Handsome boy who I'm sure will do well in the future.
