Yorkshire, Lancashire & Cheshire Border Terrier Club Open Show (31-01-2015)

First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Miss Claire Tutin (Riseburn)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the officers and committee for their invitation to judge their open show, and their warm welcome and hospitality. I would also like to thank my two efficient stewards on the day, Ian Hopper and John Thomas.
The entry was very pleasing but there were quite a few absentees on the day, especially the dog classes. However I enjoyed my day and was pleased with all my class winners, making a very satisfactory final line up, including some promising puppies, with some difficult decisions to be made. I found one bad mouth and one kinked tail.

Placing Critique:

Very smart puppy, just 6months, nice shape to his head with dark eye, dense, harsh jacket on a loose pelt, good angulations both front and back, very racy and narrow all through, liked his outline with good reach of neck and easily spanned with correct rib, he excelled on the move, pleased to award him BPD.
