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

First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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.

Class Critique:

Competitive class.

Placing Critique:

eye catching pup with a lovely head. Beautifully turned out and well handled. Front legs perfectly straight, of good bone and very neat feet. Good neck, okay in shoulder. Well ribbed back. Comfortably spanned. Hopefully she won’t grow on too much more. But very promising. Moves well all ways. BPB & BPIS.
