The Midland Border Terrier Club Open Show (06-05-2023)

First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mr Keith Baldwin (Nightstorm)

Show Critique:

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

Placing Critique:

2 years old grizzle, masculine head with keen expression, powerful muzzle and a good underjaw, his neck flows well into his nicely angulated shoulders and his ribs are spannable, harsh jacket covered a good pelt, racy hindquarter with well let down hocks, brisk mover well shown. While writing this report I now see he is from the Rockslade litter 14th Feb 2021, congratulation to the breeders on a cracking litter.
