Show Critique:

Thank you for a super entry. At times I felt I had been let loose in a sweetie shop such was the quality of the exhibits before me. Indeed because I was spoilt I was hard on jaw and dentition faults and Borders that were more smart terrier than true Border in type. My experience over the years leads me to believe that such faults are heart-breakingly likely to continue to bite in the future if not stamped on. My main winners were true Borders. You read of “a-ha moments” and happily for me there were some rather nice ones here. Good times indeed.

Placing Critique:

Another good b/t built on classic lines, has scope and presents a lovely picture , good in front and rear assembly with correct bone, stands balanced, moves out well, undoubtedly a good one and nip and tuck with the MPB for best overall
