Southern Border Terrier Club Open Show with Critique (19-09-2010)

Second Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Miss Gemma Alpe

Show Critique:

Firstly I must thank SBTC for giving me the honour of judging my first Breed Club show. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and had some first class dogs to judge. I found no bad mouths and only one with a slightly suspect kink and movement on the whole was pretty good. The one thing that bothered me was that we seem to be losing our way a little with those lovely fronts that to me are a big part of our breed, and a number of dogs are toeing out both on the stand and on the move. I was pleased with my winners, they mostly fitted my interpretation of the breed standard, but I was delighted with my top winners, all of whom are a credit to the breed and I thank their owners for giving me the opportunity to judge them.

Placing Critique:

Good headed 7 month grizzle bitch with thick pelt and harsh jacket, good front and sound movement. I liked her a lot but she was beaten by a more confident puppy.
