First Place in Open, Judge: Mr R Wright (Borderexpress)
A big thank you to the committee/officers of Reading & District Kennel Association for asking me to judge the Border Terriers at today’s Premier Open Show. A lovely entry of 20 dogs so a big thank you to the exhibitors for supporting my entry today and presenting some quality dogs. Also a big thank you to my steward for the day Mr Graham Smith who kept the classes moving along not just for the Borders but a number of the Terrier breed classes. It is always nice to have the day to see the Terrier Classes develop and see the quality that comes through into the group and it did not disappoint but always nice to see your Best Of Breed go Terrier Group 1 and to top it off be awarded Best In Show from an entry of well over 1,000 dogs
4 year old Blue & Tan bitch, really liked her feminine head/expression – flows from her neck into really nice shoulders. Stood on lovely tight cat like feet, moves really freely with a nice level top line stacked/on the move and the best of set on/short carrot tails. Correct B&T ticking in her crisp/tight jacket.
