First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Libby Tanton-Joy (Itsaso)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge their open show held at Jedburgh, the home of the border terrier. It was a great privilege, and I had some amazing dogs present who are a credit to their owners, thank you for bringing them.
Thank you to my stewards for organising the rings so smoothly and keeping me on track so we finished at a reasonable time. The hospitality was second to none and I would like to thank the whole committee for this.
5-year-old grizzle and tan who appealed for breed type, very typical in head and expression. Balanced on the move and in the stack and is very nice to go over with everything in its place flowing freely down the body to a well set on short tail. Presented in thick coat with pelt. Scored over second on movement today, just lost his spark in the final challenge.
