Sunderland & DCS Premier Open Show (15-05-2022)

First Place in Open, Judge: Mr R Wright (Borderexpress)

Show Critique:

A big thank you to the committee/officers of the Sunderland & District Canine Society for asking me to judge the Border Terriers at today’s Premier Open Show. A lovely entry of 25 dogs so a big thank you to the exhibitors for supporting my entry today and presenting some really nice dogs.
Also a big thank you to my steward for the day, Mr Tom hall who kept not only my classes but all of the terrier ring for the day finishing off with the group.
Borders were first in the ring today so I had the chance to see all of the terrier classes develop during the morning and then pleased to see my Best Of Breed go Terrier Group 2 – well done.
A lovely friendly show well supported and being an outside event weather held and the sun shone for most of it. Thank you all again for a lovely day and your support -

Placing Critique:

5 Y/O Grizzle dog of a handy size, nice head/expression with good dentation. Nice shoulder/rib assembly and easy to span, his movement was sound and he has a nice top line stacked/on the move. A little short of jacket but texture just starting to ease through.
