Birmingham & District Gundog and Terrier Club Show (22-10-2016)

First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Anne Speake (Dogs) & Lucy Mudd (Bitches)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the officers and committee for the invitation to judge the Border Terrier dogs, with my co judge, Lucy Mudd. The hospitality received was much appreciated, and the day was very enjoyable. It was lovely to see such a good entry for the show as a whole and thanks to the stewards who kept things moving along nicely. My thanks to the exhibitors, who did me the honour and privilege of going over their dogs and accepting my decisions in a sporting manner. Anne Speake, Dog Judge

Placing Critique:

Well balanced 15 month old blue and tan dog, who has a strong attractive head with well placed ears, lovely big teeth and strong muzzle. Straight front, good reach of neck leading in to well laid shoulders and ribs carried well back. Thick pelt, harsh double jacket and the right amount of ticking. Well muscled hind quarters, strong loin and good tail set. Moved freely and true fore and aft, keeping his topline on the move, he looked good in profile, just lost out today on BOB due to the maturity of the bitch. Best Dog, BOS and RBOB
