Second Place in Limit - 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.
5 year old g/t tan bitch a different type to winner. She has a pleasing head with a feminine expression, with little stop and neat ears. She has a lovely reach of neck and straight narrow front and nice outline. Moved well and I liked her for size. She was a happy show girl wagging her tail all the time when on the move.
