First Place in Veteran - Dog, Judge: Mrs Jena Tuck (Nettleby)
I would like to thank the Committee of the Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cheshire Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge this very enjoyable and well run show. It was an honour and pleasure. In the ring I was very ably assisted by my two capable stewards Ian and Bridget, who I would like to thank. The hospitality of the Club was second to none I had a truly wonderful day. Thanks must go to the exhibitors, who allowed me to go over their dogs. The depth of quality was remarkable and some very good exhibits had to go cardless I was delighted by my main winners, thank you again for giving me the pleasure of judging them. I chose the dog as BIS because he had that extra attitude and showmanship.
A beautiful and typical dog very well balance, huge teeth set in a very strong jaw, correct ear placement in a superb head. A very good front, super shoulders and an amazing coat and pelt. Loved his length and overall balance. I was very pleased to award him the RCC and Best Veteran in Show. A very worthy Champion.
