The Southern Border Terrier Open Show (05-03-2023)

First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mr Matt Smith (Alncroft)

Show Critique:

Many thanks to the club for the invitation to judge at their show and for their hospitality. Thank you to my stewards, and the exhibitors for entering under me. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and was pleased with the quality present. Many of the classes were close decisions and coats played a big part in final standings. Whilst I didn’t find any dogs that I couldn’t span, having spent a lifetime around working terriers some of the bitches in particular were on the larger end of the scale for preference.

Placing Critique:

Eye catching and mature for his age. Lovely outline, standing on well boned legs with tight feet. Strong in head but not overdone, good neck and shoulder. Well ribbed back with strong loin and a well made rear. Moves with good reach and drive BPD.
