First Place in Maiden - 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.
7 month old g/t puppy, that was 3rd in the MPB class. She has a very sweet feminine head and an alert expression and short muzzle. She has a nice reach of neck and outline with racy hind quarters. Shown in good harsh coat with plenty pelt. Moved well.
