Class 1. Puppy up to 12 months

Puppy Class - overall a typical group, some developing ahead of others. 

The balance of 1st place impressed me would like to see the head however from the side profile looks good. 

I would like to see number 2 standing with a better head/neck position to give a nicer outline of neck - shoulder, 

number 3 has a nice shape and great bone and feet

Juniors are a great class to judge. This group exhibit a lot of character 

1st Strong male with good head and neck, correct angulation, and good bone

2nd Male with a strong head, good feet 

3rd Male with nice shape could have improved rear (though standing on the couch does not help here )

AWARDS FINAL

Thank you, Manchester Terrier Association, for allowing me to judge your online show. It was a delight to see Manchester Terriers having such good fun as seen in the active and devoted photo classes. I came away wishing I had a Manchester myself!

One downside to judging photo competitions is you don't get that lovely experience of 'hands-on.' However, we do have the opportunity to see golden oldies and those gone to Rainbow Bridge
