Second Place in Novice - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Marion Reeves
Though pleased with my winners, depth of quality within the entry was mostly lacking. It is fair to say that Border Terriers still come in every size and shape imaginable. Though I am aware that it is a matter that sharply divides opinion within the breed, I for one would prefer the breed standard to be more specific in detail of what is desirable. Maybe, perhaps that might head to a more uniform type in the show ring.
b/t. Well shown by her young master. Pleasing typical head qualities, plentiful harsh coat, moved out well holding her topline. Better angulation behind would improve but well deserved this second placing.
