First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs C E Sansom (Tarkaswell)
I would like to thank the committee and members of the Scottish Border Terrier Club for the invitation to judge at this very friendly and well organised club show. My steward Pete Appleby was a great help, keeping things moving smoothly, and I am most grateful to the exhibitors for giving me such a lovely entry.
Beautifully presented, this dog stood out for balance and moderation. He had a lovely head, with strong jaw, neat, small ears and a keen expression. A good reach of neck flowed into a level top line, strong loin and well set tail. His coat was harsh and dense, with a thick pelt. Sound in construction and movement. I was pleased to award him RBD.
