First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Ms Julie Green (Breckgreen/Stowthorney)
Firstly, I would like to thanks the officers and committee of the East Anglia Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge my first breed club show. My steward & partner Robert Brewster for doing a sterling job as always. I would also like to thank all that entered under me with some traveling great distances. Although on the day we were a few missing due to Scottish BTC being on the same day and the report of covid cases from a show the previous week, for this I fully understand having recently recovered from Covid myself. I was happy with my winners and found no bad mouths or kinked tails on the day. Temperaments on some need to be addressed though, with a few dogs kicking off through the day. A little reminder that these dogs can be excluded from the show on instruction of the show management as in the KC Rules & Regulations. I also found a couple of dogs that were severely underweight and this was affecting their overall condition.
Loved this grizzle & Tan boy. He was a pleasure to go over. Lovely head with dark eye and big teeth. Good reach of neck into well laid shoulders. In good harsh double jacket. Lovely length of rib. Spanned with ease. Good top line and tail set. Well-muscled. Moved round the ring with ease. Pleased to award him Best Dog & Best in Show.
