Second Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs. Joyce Martin (Merumhor)
I would like to thank the Border terrier Club for the invitation to judge at the Open Show at Low Hesket. It was an honour and privilege to be offered this appointment. I was delighted with the super entry of 96 dogs making a total entry of 132 and appreciate the turnout of so many fine dogs on the day and the sporting way my decisions were taken. Thank you to my ring stewards Ken McKenzie and Dave Hodgson for keeping everything running smoothly for me. Also thank you to the committee for their hospitality and to Jane Shaw for providing a lovely lunch which I enjoyed very much.
Another nice g/t 8 month old puppy with a super head, with broad, flat skull and strong muzzle. He is built on narrow lines with a straight front and a good bend of stifle. He has a thick harsh coat and loose pelt. He has neat feet and good length of body. He moved ok, I just preferred the size of my winner.
