Notes on the Welsh Terrier National Specialty 2018

“There was nothing that was going to deny my Best of Breed Dog on this day, GCh. Abbeyrose Captain Jack. He stood out to perfection from the moment he stepped into the ring – he said I am the winner. His outstanding coat was put down to perfection, his balance and movement were outstanding. Above all was his headpiece and expression, announcing to the world ‘I am a Welsh Terrier’. I had never had my hands on this Welsh before this show so it was an extra thrill to judge him. I have only judged one other Welsh that I loved as much and that was Ch. Anasazi Billy The Kid. I had the honor of giving him a first in the Terrier group before he went on to Best In Show. He was also a Montgomery County winner in 1996. Jack went on to win in 2018.”
