The Southern Border Terrier Club Championship Show (09-06-2018)

Second Place in Novice - Dog, Judge: Mr W Shorthose (Cundytyke)

Show Critique:

It is always a particular honour to judge a Breed Club Championship Show and my thanks go to the committee for their hospitality and my stewards who kept things running smoothly. I found only two poor mouths but more had wrong, thin skins and some needed to go home for a good feed. A working terrier needs to be correctly muscled and too many needed nourishment and exercise. The biggest problem, however, remains poor front movement showing both incorrect shoulders and, for some, over angulation in the hindquarters.

Placing Critique:

When on the move, good enough behind but hadn’t the same reach in front. Good topline and tailset.
