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

Best Of Breed, 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

Narrow straight front leading into good shoulders, ribs well back, has good bone with well padded feet, and lovely racy outline. Easily spanned, being narrow throughout her body. Excellent front with good rear angulations, she moved with drive around the ring. Harsh coat with thick pelt.
