First Place in Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mrs Charlotte Archibald (Tweedburn)
My sincere thanks to the Scottish Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge their Championship show, one of my favourites. Also my thanks to the exhibitors for allowing me the privilege to judge their dogs.
My main concern is size and weight, it really does matter, there were a number of exhibits that were too heavy/big, and at the other end of the spectrum, not enough muscle/bone/condition, which is essential for a working dog. However, I was very happy with the main winners, and both line ups.
3 years old, grizzle with a very strong head, keen expression, moderate length of neck leading to a well balanced and well angulated body, excellent pelt and jacket, moved out with drive and purpose, unknown to me son of the DCC winner, a pleasure to award him RCC.
