Southern Border Terrier Club Members Limited Breed Show (06-03-2016)

Second Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mr Colin Girling (Benattivo)

Show Critique:

Many thanks to the Committee for the invitation to judge this prestigious event and there support on the day. Thanks also to my Stewards Rachel Larner & David Hunt who helped manage the ring so efficiently and effectively without drama or fuss. Thanks also to Show Manager Jane Roberts and Andrew Mooney for ring stewarding and announcing.
I really enjoyed my day in the spotlight and thank all of the exhibitors who worked so hard to present their dogs and accepted my decisions so gracefully. I was happy with all of my class winners and hopefully people could see my interpretation of the standard on display in the dogs and bitches I selected. There were some really tough decisions and some very close calls for top 3 placings in some classes. I was delighted with my BoB, Reserve and Best puppy. There were many youngsters and older dogs and bitches that were a delight to go over, which gives me great encouragement.

Class Critique:

Excellent class with some promising young bitches that could easily change places on another day.

Placing Critique:

Another quality youngster with much promise for the future. Very sound on the move also in super condition, a very close call between these two. Just preferred head of the winner however I am almost certain this young lady’s head will improve with time.
