Northern Counties Sporting Terrier Association Open Show (24-03-2019)

Second Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mrs P Cox (Cushatlaw) & Dr M Armstrong (Ploughdown)

Show Critique:

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.

Placing Critique:

16 month old grizzle and tan bitch. Very balanced otter head with broad skull and short strong foreface. Good bite showing big strong teeth. Dark eye and good expression. Narrow throughout with correct length of rib. Good bend of stifle and moved well.
