First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Miss Katie Hamilton (Cromlechs)
Firstly I would like to thank The Border Terrier Club for giving me the honour of judging the open show at Low Hesket, with this show and venue being very memorable from a young age I was delighted and privileged to accept the invitation to judge the show. A huge thank you goes to my two stewards on the day who kept my ring moving smoothly, also appreciation goes to the club as a whole for the great hospitality shown. The standard of the exhibits on the day was overall pleasing with quality of bitches slightly outweighing the dogs, many thanks to all exhibitors for giving me the chance to go over their dogs and making my day such a pleasure.
Grizzle dog of lovely size and type shown in good tight coat and condition. Lovely head with neat dark ears and otter head, well placed shoulders and tight front leading to a good narrow body with ribs carried well back and level topline. Good angulation behind with good bend of stifle and nice neat feet. Moved well with plenty of drive. Reserve Best Dog
