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

First Place in Veteran - 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.

Placing Critique:

Beautiful bitch of super size. Belies her age. In tip top condition. Excellent double coat. Good head, correct eye and ear, good strength to muzzle. Good shoulder. Lovely topline with correct tailset. Well made hindquarters. Moved well all ways. Pleased to award her BVIS and RBB today.
