The Border Terrier Club Open Show (19-10-2019)

First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Miss Katie Hamilton (Cromlechs)

Show Critique:

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.

Placing Critique:

Grizzle bitch oozing type and flowed around the ring with style and quality. Shown in a lovely jacket with a good pelt. Dark eye with short strong muzzle and good scissor bite with large teeth. Good length of neck leading to a correct shoulder and straight front, ribs carried well back and narrow body throughout with a good length and topline. Well angulated behind with good stifle and racy hindquarters. Beautiful bitch shown in tip top condition. Best Bitch, Best Opposite Sex & Reserve Best In Show
