Birmingham & District Gundog and Terrier Club Show (22-10-2016)

Second Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Anne Speake (Dogs) & Lucy Mudd (Bitches)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the officers and committee for the invitation to judge the Border Terrier dogs, with my co judge, Lucy Mudd. The hospitality received was much appreciated, and the day was very enjoyable. It was lovely to see such a good entry for the show as a whole and thanks to the stewards who kept things moving along nicely. My thanks to the exhibitors, who did me the honour and privilege of going over their dogs and accepting my decisions in a sporting manner. Anne Speake, Dog Judge

Nice size, three year old blue & tan dog, with a good head, dark eye and well placed ears. Good in shoulders, straight narrow front, and ribs carried well back, easily spanned. Good length of body. Coat is of good textured with a loose pelt. Lacked drive on the move.
