Northern Border Terrier Club Open Show (19-04-2014)

First Place in Maiden - Dog, Judge: Mrs. Joyce Martin (Merumhor)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the Northern Border Terrier Club for their kind invitation to judge at this show, my first breed club appointment. I was well looked after by the committee and their hospitality was wonderful. I would like to thank my 2 ring stewards – Tracy Peacock and Allen Horner – who were very efficient in keeping me right and kept everything running smoothly. It was a great privilege for me to have such an excellent entry and of such good quality to go over. Thank you to all those who gave me this opportunity and for taking my decisions so sportingly.

Placing Critique:

A nice grizzle and tan 8 month old puppy who was 3rd in the MPD class. He was shown in a good harsh coat with plenty of loose pelt. He has a good head with flat skull and short strong muzzle. He has a nice dark eye and small neat ears. He has a nice straight front and good length of body with racy hind quarters and neat feet. He has a good topline with a carrot tail well set on. He just needs to tighten up his movement in front.
