Wire Fox Terriers

Wire Fox Terriers Judges Report
Judge: Mrs Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen
The entry of Wires was small which was somewhat disappointing, and there were several dogs from other countries. Of course, the Wire Fox Terrier is a demanding breed to show, the coat needs professional skills, but oh boy! they are gorgeous when the grooming is perfect! And now the main winners really fulfilled this, skilful grooming and right timing of the coat on top of the correct structure.

PD (1,0): 1. Drake’s Travella Stride Out. Quite big and still gives the impression to be somewhat leggy, long lean head, long neck, nice topline, body still rather light, a bit light ears, good coat texture but could be better trimmed.
