First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Charlotte Archibald (Tweedburn)
My sincere thanks to the Scottish Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge their Championship show, one of my favourites. Also my thanks to the exhibitors for allowing me the privilege to judge their dogs.
My main concern is size and weight, it really does matter, there were a number of exhibits that were too heavy/big, and at the other end of the spectrum, not enough muscle/bone/condition, which is essential for a working dog. However, I was very happy with the main winners, and both line ups.
almost 8 mths old, grizzle, nicely put together pup, excellent mouth and dentition, keen expression, well balanced throughtout, thick pelt and good jacket, moved out well on neat feet, front needs to tighten up but will come as he matures. BPD
