Yorkshire, Lancashire & Cheshire Border Terrier Club Open Show (28-01-2012)

Second Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mr E Castel (Flutorum)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the Officers and Committee for their kind invitation and the hospitality I received at their Open Show. This was a new venue for the Club and offers excellent facilities with a large spacious ring. Special thanks to my two stewards Anita Harrison and Brian Dickinson. Although not the largest of entries I was pleased with both my dog and bitch line up, I found the bitches to be of greater quality than the dogs, and was pleased that most exhibits were shown in good, well muscled condition. A final thank you to all the exhibitors for the opportunity to go over their dogs today.

Placing Critique:

Both are litter sisters and are still very much minor puppies, as they should be, I thought they were both lovely and at this tender age very promising and wish them well for the future. Similar remarks for both, feminine in head and lovely expression, with well placed ear and eye. Good bodylines, straight front and carry good angulations front and rear. Carroty tail well set on, harsh jacket with a loose pelt. Both moved well on tight feet, just preferred the slightly smaller size and overall balance of the winner.
