First Place in Puppy, Judge: Mr Peter Armstrong (Atron)
My sincere thanks go firstly, to the Committee for inviting me to judge at their Premier Show, at which the Border Terrier classes were also being kindly supported by the East Anglia Border Terrier Club. Secondly to the exhibitors for such a marvellous entry and for giving me the opportunity of going over their dogs and last, but not least, to my Steward, Karen Bridge, for her invaluable assistance in keeping the ring running smoothly. Movement today was sometimes difficult to assess, especially with the youngsters, as the ring surface was full of delicious smells both from the horses and the previous days dog show.
Barely 7 month old Grizzle bitch. who caught my eye on first inspection of the class. Possesses a feminine head of good proportions, with a keen expression, good dark eye and correct dentition. Small well placed ears. Good reach of neck, straight front and narrow body of good length. Easily spanned. Adequate angulation both front and rear. Decent coat and a pliable pelt. Well set on tail carried correctly. Moved well, when she eventually decided to co-operate with her handler, holding a level topline. Pleased to award her BEST PUPPY IN BREED.
