First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Ms Michelle Barnett
Many thanks to the Officers and the committee for kindly inviting me to Judge at the show and my most capable stewards for their efficiency in the ring. My sincere thanks also to the exhibitors for their entries and support. The classes were filled with some lovely breed quality dogs and bitches and on completing my appointment I was delighted to see my final line up(s) presenting me with such a hard task in my final decision of who to award the ultimate top honours too! That always makes for a satisfying end to a judges day. So can i take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me the privilege of judging your Border terriers Two nice classes of pups which bodes well for the future
Strong class
Well this Grizzle and Tan lad looked a picture, and I could not fail but to award him 1st, he pulled out all the stops to ensure i couldn’t overlook him, Rising 3-years-old he’s such a lovely moderate dog who has balance and quality. Loved his otter head correct expression dark eye and strong scissor bite. Fit and well muscled shown and handled to every advantage in the best of jackets and condition spanned easily, Straight narrow front he stands on firm padded feet, well boned, and scopey he covers the ground both standing and on the move where his strong racy quarters moved him with ease around the ring. Delighted to award him his first CC and no doubt the others will surely follow. Will look forward to, and enjoy the day he gains his well-deserved crown
