The Scottish Border Terrier Club Limited Show (26-01-2014)

First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Elizabeth Barrett (Howthwaite)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the committee of the Scottish BTC for their warm welcome and hospitality. Thank you also to my ring stewards Joyce Orr and Helen McKenzie for keeping things running smoothly. I am grateful to those exhibitors who braved the weather to attend the show. All the dogs were entire and mouths were very good. Coats were on the whole just on their way in which I expected just before the coming show season. A number of exhibits were carrying rather too much condition for a fit functional terrier.

Placing Critique:

Nice sized light grizzle and tan dog. Nice head without being overdone with a good bite and flat skull. Very good reach of neck into well laid shoulders. Straight front legs and small feet. Well shaped ribs, length of body and very easily spanned. Evidence of a harsh topcoat coming in and excellent pelt. Good topline and underline with well set on short tail. Very balanced on the move was pleased to award him BPIS
