Southern Border Terrier Club Open Show (16-09-2018)

First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mr Julien Barney (Romaunt)

Show Critique:

A big thank you to the committee for giving me the opportunity to judge at this well run show. A super sporting atmosphere around the ring on a very pleasant sunny autumn afternoon.
My general comments would be about heads and the lack of that typical Otter look with a good skull and a powerful muzzle required to do their job. Front movement in some wasn’t good being tied in front and I wonder how well they would be able to follow a horse for a good days hunting. Plus size seemed to be an issue with some being well up to the limit.

Placing Critique:

A smart, balanced bitch with a good typey head and expression with a well set ear. Super harsh coat. Good forequarters matched by a well made hindquarter. Correct bone. Strong topline. Well set tail but used it a little too much on the move.
