First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mrs P Cox (Cushatlaw) & Dr M Armstrong (Ploughdown)
Judge: Dr Margaret Armstrong (Ploughdown), Bitches, Thank you to the committee of the Northern Counties Sporting Terrier Association for inviting me to judge at their group open show. I’d also like to thank my stewards for their sterling work in keeping things flowing. There was a lovely atmosphere at the show and the officers and exhibitors were very welcoming. I had a great entry of Border Terrier bitches and my placings were greeted with gracious courtesy. It was a bracing, sunny day and it was good for the Border Terriers to be judged outside, which largely seemed to suit all.
Super grizzle and tan dog with good coat and thick pelt. Slightly taller but appealing
otter like head with good ear placement and dark expressive eye. Correct angles front and rear, spanable with good length and strong loin. Good coat and thick pelt. Moved out well, fit and well muscled.
