The Scottish Border Terrier Club Championship Show (14-11-2015)

First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Miss T James (Blackmine)

Show Critique:

I was honoured to be invited to judge at the Scottish Border Terrier Club and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. It was concerning that there were a large proportion of exhibits with poor front movement. The other area which I thought needed attention was heads – many lacked strength in foreface. On the positive side all the dogs had good temperaments, were clean and trimmed up to a good standard. Coats were all at various stages (as usual) but I found very few single coated exhibits. It was also pleasing to see so many neat cat-like feet. I felt that the quality of the bitches out-weighed that of the dogs.

Placing Critique:

Pleasing head, good mouth, straight front, level topline and correct tailset. Wearing a harsh pin wire coat. Well presented and not looking his age. Moved with purpose. BV.
