First Place in Junior, Judge: Sheila G Stoddart
As I was a substitute judge at the last minute, thank you to the exhibitors for their welcome. I enjoyed going over a super entry of Border Terriers and was impressed especially by the standard and fitness of the veterans. As a terrier person myself I felt I had to hang my head in shame a bit as without exception the cleanliness of the teeth in this breed was terrific…said to self..must try harder!! (I do but co-operation can be scarce on the ground!) This is a very friendly show…only their second Open Show and I would certainly like to return as an Exhibitor next time!
A fourteen month old bitch in good hard condition, lovely head and dark eye. Good pelt and spanned correctly. She moved out well for her handler and gave the impression she could follow the hounds without any problem.
