First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mrs. Joyce Martin (Merumhor)
I would like to thank the Northern Border Terrier Club for their kind invitation to judge at this show, my first breed club appointment. I was well looked after by the committee and their hospitality was wonderful. I would like to thank my 2 ring stewards – Tracy Peacock and Allen Horner – who were very efficient in keeping me right and kept everything running smoothly. It was a great privilege for me to have such an excellent entry and of such good quality to go over. Thank you to all those who gave me this opportunity and for taking my decisions so sportingly.
(RBD) What a smart young man this is. He is a light grizzle and tan just out of puppy and although he stood alone in this class, he really had a real show presence. He was well presented in a super harsh pin wire jacket with a very loose pelt. He has a good broad skull and short muzzle with a good dark almond shape eye and neat ears. He has a good reach of neck that flows into good shoulders and a lovely straight narrow front. He has the best of feet neat and catlike. His body is of moderate length and he is well muscled with racy hind quarters with tail coming straight off the back. He was sound on the move. He really is a lovely balanced border, I liked him a lot and he did not disappoint in the challenge and was given RBD.
