First Place in Special Beginners - Dog, Judge: Mrs Wendy Mooney (Chesterton)
Thank you to the committee of Birmingham Dog Show Society for inviting me to judge Border Terriers at their show. Many thanks to all the exhibitors who entered and gave me the honour and pleasure of judging their dogs. I had a fabulous entry and was truly spoilt for choice in many of the classes. One general observation is that there were quite a number of dogs that were, in my opinion, simply too big to do the job that they are bred to do.
Blue & tan with lovely head and nice dark eye. In good coat with correct texture and colour. Looked deep in profile but was spannable. Correct topline and nice length of ribs carried well back. Good thick moderately long tail.
