The Southern Border Terrier Club Open Show (03-03-2024)

First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Miss Nicola Foster (Thozow)

Show Critique:

It was a great honour to be invited to Judge a Border Terrier Club Open show so I would like to thank the Southern Club for this opportunity. It was a day I had been looking forward too, so I would also like to thank the exhibitors for their entries, allowing me to access their dogs and for accepting my decisions. I was most grateful to my stewards Sian McKay & Marina Fleming who kept the ring running efficiently, and also live streamed the challenges and BIS.

Placing Critique:

Liked this dog as he is compact and of a good size. Moderately broad skull, with an intelligent dark eye, and a strong muzzle with slightly full cheeks. Straight front, good length of neck; ribs are well back with enough depth and spannable. He has a good bend of stifle with hocks well let down. Moved with a good stride. Presented in a tidy harsh double coat.
