Second Place in Open, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)
Thank you for the invitation to judge your border terrier classes. The location is very picture postcard. My two lady stewards were simply wonderful, thank you. I had a lovely entry of quality dogs with some very close decisions Coats were at differing stages which did play its part. I had no bad mouths or kinked tails and all dogs were entire.
Lovely grizzle bitch who pushed hard for the top honours. Another one that I have watched from ring side and was a pleasure to get the opportunity for a closer inspection! She is a lovely size with correct rib and easily spanned Pleasing in head with tidy ears, correct bite and good eye. Moved OK but not with quite the same drive as 1st.
