Second Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Marion Reeves
Though pleased with my winners, depth of quality within the entry was mostly lacking. It is fair to say that Border Terriers still come in every size and shape imaginable. Though I am aware that it is a matter that sharply divides opinion within the breed, I for one would prefer the breed standard to be more specific in detail of what is desirable. Maybe, perhaps that might head to a more uniform type in the show ring.
b/t. Also of top quality. A well constructed dog easily spanned and with a good masculine head and strong muzzle. Good shoulder placement but a bit more rear angulation would improve. Moves with drive and purpose.
