First Place in Novice - Dog, Judge: Mrs Margaret Sneddon (Kersfell)
Thank you to my very efficient stewards. I think we have a real problem with the front construction and movement in the breed; there were far too many exhibits with short, steep upper arms, often resulting in a build up of bulky muscle on the outer line of the shoulder and the movement in front on many was very poor. The Border is ?essentially a working terrier and this type of construction will seriously compromise its ability to work.
7 months blue and tan placed third in the Minor Puppy class, moved better in this class. Good coat and pelt, big teeth, nice head and expression, looks deep in body in relation to length of leg but may still have some growing to do.
