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

Second Place in Open - 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:

Different in type to 1, more cobby, there is a lot to like about him. Turned out in good coat with a very good pelt. Eye catching head of good strength but not over done, with neat ears. Straight in front standing on the best of feet. Spannable, well muscled and balanced. Straight coming and going. RBD
