Scottish Kennel Club (27-08-2016)

Second Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Professor A S Milton

Show Critique:

It was a pleasure to come back to Scotland, even though for just a day, and to judge Border Terriers at the Scottish Kennel Club’s August Show. Looking at the catalogue I was surprised to find that Border Terriers had the fourth largest entry at the show. It was a very satisfactory entry, with many dogs that I had not seen before. I was particularly impressed with the overall quality of the coats. There was only one really bad mouth, a few crooked teeth, so what, as long as they can bite! I was concerned about size, not only those outwith the standard, but also even more worrying, those that I could not span. I should like to thank Joyce Martin for sending me a CD with photos of all the class winners.

Placing Critique:

Strong looking bitch with good head Good reach of neck, excellent top line and tail set. Harsh coat. Moved well.
