First Place in Graduate, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)
Thank you to the committee of this fantastic, friendly and well organised show for the appointment to judge originally the Border Terriers, but due to the group judge Colin Richardson falling fowl to a dodgy Chinese I was extremely honoured to be able to cover his breed classes with Darwin Martin completing the AV and Group. I wish Colin a speedy recovery. Thank you to the exhibitors for bringing their dogs.
Masculine grizzle and tan male that could not be ignored. Strong head with good bite, correct ears and strength of jaw. Well set shoulders and upper arm allowing him true reach in his front action when covering the ground in profile. I could span him due to his good rib shape. Presented in good coat with a real handful of pelt. A pleasure to go over. Please to see him go Group 3 in a large terrier group.
