First Place in Yearling - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. Margaret Bailey (Grindelvald)
I would like to thank the Northern Border Terrier Club’s committee for the invitation to judge at this well organised & friendly show, I really enjoyed my day. A big thank you, to my stewards Sharon & Graham, who kept me on track throughout the day. On the down side some poor mouths, some of the males where lacking substance & not very masculine, bordering on thin, not sure they could do a days work. The depth of quality in the bitches was excellent & this meant that some decisions were very close & many lovely bitches missed out on this occasion. Also my thanks to the exhibitors for their sporting acceptance of my decisions.
Very pleasing bitch, well balanced, good head in correct proportion, dark eyes, narrow throughout, straight front, neat feet level topline kept on the move, short carroty tail. Strong hindquarters. In correct harsh coat, moved out well. Presented & shown well. Considered her for RES CC just a bit unsettled at this point.
