Northern Counties Sporting Terrier Club Open Show (16-10-2021)

Second Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mr M. & Mrs V Atkinson (Raedwulf)

Show Critique:

Mr Mark Atkinson (Raedwulf) I’ve been looking forward to the opportunity of judging at the NCSTA show. This is always a well run show with a dedicated committee and as ever the catering was second to none. Many thanks to my steward who remained in good spirits despite the constant chilly breeze. I was lucky to have the opportunity to spend some time with highly experienced Border Terrier Judges after judging my breed today which rounded off a fantastic day.

Mrs Valerie Atkinson (Raedwulf) Many thanks go to NCSTA for inviting me to judge my beloved Border Terriers following in the footsteps of many esteemed Border Terrier judges, of whom I much admire, who also began their early career judging at this show. As always a really well run show with a welcoming committee and the best of sporting atmosphere.

Placing Critique:

Grizzle bitch, bigger then 1. Not in the best of coats today but no denying this bitch can move. Really well constructed, good head and correct bite, good top line and tail placement, straight front and easily spannable, nicely angulated rear and tight feet. Lots to like about this bitch. BOB.
