First Place in Limit - 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.
This is a light grizzle and tan dog who has a good tight jacket and plenty of loose pelt. His skull is broad and flat with a short strong dark muzzle and strong bite. His dark eyes are set wide on face giving him a typical otter head and neat ears complete the picture. He has a good straight front and a good length of body with short tail set well on giving him a lovely top line. He has tight catlike feet. He moved soundly although he has a tendency to look up at his handler which altered his top line on the move.
