Second Place in Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mr Keith Baldwin (Nightstorm)
I would like to thank all the Officers and Committee of the Midland Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge their club open show.
It is now 17 years that I have been judging Border Terriers and it was the 6th August 2011 that I attended the Midland Border Terrier Club breed specific seminar when Jena Tuck was the secretary.
I was very pleased with my entry of 112 quality dogs and bitches, also I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the exhibitors who entered and for allowing me to go over their dogs. They all showed and behaved very well. I can report back to you that you have overall one of the soundest breeds that I have judged.
Last but not least I would like to thank my stewards who did an excellent job keeping everything flowing smoothly between the two shows in the Margaret Everton Pavilion
21 months old grizzle, this one was a monkey on the table as he had got the whiff of bitches, a very nice border that came more apparent when he eventually stood nice on the floor for critique, all male lovely breed type, good masculine head and dark eye, scissor bite and plenty of underjaw, loved his angles at both ends and he moved out smartly eventually once settled.
