Second Place in Special Beginners - Dog, Judge: Joyce Martin (Merumhor)
Many thanks to the officers and committee for the invitation to judge Border Terriers at the East of England Agricultural Society Show, which was to be the last one run by this society. It was a super venue with lovely big rings which gave the dogs a chance to stride out. Many thanks to my ring stewards Peter and Lesley Armstrong for keeping things running smoothly and efficiently. I was delighted with my entry of 109 dogs making a total entry of 149 and pleased with the overall quality of dogs shown. Thank you to the exhibitors for giving the chance to go over your dogs and for the sporting way the placings were taken. It is indeed a privilege to have the opportunity do so. I was thrilled to be able to watch the terrier group and see my BOB – Stineval Lambert JW take group 1 in a quality line up. I also was delighted to hear that my BPIB – Glebeheath Ophelia went Group 3 in the Puppy Group.
A grizzle dog with a good strong head. Bigger than 1 and deeper in chest but spannable. His coat was a bit sparse and in need of a tidy up. Moved ok.
