Border Terrier Club Open Show (31-10-2009)

First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs. Karen Dean (Tyrian)

Show Critique:

I would first like to thank the committee for the invitation to judge, and to them and my stewards, Frank Nicholls and Paul Cheeseman for looking after me so well on the day, and lastly to all those who exhibited and accepted my decisions so graciously. It was a long, exhausting but very enjoyable day for me. I absolutely loved my best dog, best bitch and best puppy, they were all lovely and narrow, well balanced with small tight feet, sound movement and not overdone in any way. I would take any of them home in a heartbeat.

Placing Critique:

10 months old, super dog with a lovely head, very strong muzzle and little stop, ears a bit heavy at the moment but won?t be if he grows into the wrinkles and loose skin on his head. Good shoulders and ribs well laid back, super bone, good harsh dense coat and really thick pelt. Level topline held well on the move. Moved very freely with good reach and drive, covering the ground with ease. I look forward to seeing how this one matures. Best Puppy Dog.
