First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. Nancy Hogg (Raeburnfoot)
Thank you for inviting me to judge this show. If my memory serves me correctly this was the very first Border Terrier show I exhibited at……30 years ago.
It really was a pleasure to go over so many good examples of the breed. Coats were at various stages and some paid the penalty with either little top coat or totally blown. Mouths were good. Some movement, especially front. Not so good. Size was better than I have seen in the past. Temperament on every exhibit was really good I am pleased to say. No noise from the cage area either that I was aware of. I was delighted with my main winners.
Special thanks must go to my very able steward and to the kitchen ladies for a lovely meal and coffee.
Took my eye straight away and didn’t disappoint. Lovely otter head. Flat skull. Short, strong muzzle. Neat ears. Narrow throughout. Spans easily. In tip top condition. Harsh coat with a thick pelt. Good topline held well on the move. Well set on carrot tail completed a pleasing picture RCC.
