First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Charlotte Archibald
My sincere thanks to the Officers and Committee, for inviting me to judge the Border Terriers at this show. We were truly blessed with some lovely autumn sunshine, and a well laid out ring.
Thank you, to all the exhibitors for allowing me the privilege to “go over†your dogs, however, I had concerns about the size and movement of some of the exhibits. I have a fair span and struggled to get anywhere near some dogs, which reflected in the placings.
Consequently, some heavy shoulders, and wide fronts.
What a super class, and what an age range!
6 years old, dark grizzle, easily spanned, lovely strong head, and keen expression, neatly placed ears, good for bone, well angulated, strode out with purpose, sadly not enough coat to go further, nice example of the breed.
