First Place in Special Beginners - Bitch, 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.
19 month old g/t bitch who has a pleasing head with strong muzzle and dark ears close to cheek. Nice length of body with racy hindquarters and small feet and liked her for size. She has a good harsh double coat and plenty pliable pelt. She moved well.
