First Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mrs L Hardman (Spanwise)

Show Critique:

Thank you for such a lovely entry of Border Terriers on this my first club appointment. I enjoyed myself immensely and was pleased with my winners in type and soundness. All exhibits had correct dentition and all dogs were entire. Nice to see new exhibitors to the breed. The majority were easily spannable with good temperaments and smartly turned out. I wish to point out that straggly hair on inner thighs just spoils the look for me. More concern though is size, in both dogs and bitches. With bitches as big as dogs and heads that are not feminine. Many thanks to the Officers and Committee for the smooth running of the show and how nice it was to see T.A.G. Knight back at the show. Lastly thanks for the excellent lunch provided by Diane Rayner and her super helpers.

Placing Critique:

Quality red grizzle with best of head in class, good reach of neck into well placed shoulders. Thick pelt Quality Pin-wire topcoat, carried her tail well on the move. A workmanlike handy size . Good class to win. Deserved her reserve best bitch.
