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

First Place in Junior - 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:

Good for type, moderately broad otter head with dark eye and good expression, nicely laid shoulder, ribbed well back, easily spanned, would prefer slightly more bend of stifle but moved out well.
