The Scottish Border Terrier Club Open Show (04-06-2017)

Second Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Karen S Stockley (Foxfactor)

Show Critique:

My grateful thanks go to the ScBTC for the opportunity to judge their Open Show, the lovely gift and the excellent lunch. It’s always an honour and privilege to judge at Club Shows. Thanks also to my stewards Jim Stewart and Helen Mc Kenzie.
I had some very nice exhibits to go over with some tough decisions to make.I was pleased to find that the vast majority were in fit condition, I found 3 with incorrect dentition and just one kinked tail. I thank the exhibitors for the entry and for gracefully accepting my placings.
Unfortunately ResBPIS was not awarded as I was informed there wasn’t an award so my apologies to the Puppy Bitch winner

Placing Critique:

5yo bl and t,a lovely bitch I have judged before, such a handy size and has to be gone over to appreciate her qualities, an appealing feminine head with dark well shaped eyes giving a keen expression, good bite with strength of muzzle and shallow stop, straight front with well laid shoulders leading in to a good length of rib with strong loin, shown in good harsh top coat over a thick pliable pelt, moves well both ways, tough decision today.
