Midland Border Terrier Club Championship Show (02-08-2009)

First Place in Veteran - Dog, Judge: Mr T Tuck (B) & Mrs J Tuck (D)

Show Critique:

Dogs, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Committee for inviting me to judge the dog classification at their 25th anniversary show, also my very able stewards Christine Horner, and Chris Wallace who did a great job with the organisation of my ring.

Bitches,
I thoroughly enjoyed this appointment, thanks to my experienced stewards and an entry that contained some really outstanding examples of the breed. I really liked my winners, and handled some extremely promising youngsters. Having said that, the early classes were much more variable, with fewer exhibits that combined quality and breed type. Later classes were more consistent, and it was nice to find a few more classy otter-like heads and neat front construction.

Placing Critique:

One of my favourite dogs, I gave him a CC years ago, he still retains that quality, super conformation, typical head and expression, good coat, the correct size a really workmanlike dog. Not exaggerated in any way.
