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

First Place in Special Beginners - Bitch, 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:

Just 12 months old, unplaced in previous class as she would not settle. Feminine head, flat skull, good bite, ears ok but set slightly high on the skull and deepish stop. Moved ok and with good drive. Won on quality of coat and pelt and thickness of tail.
