Scottish Border Terrier Club Open Show (04-06-2011)

First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mr M. Hollingsbee (Otterwood)

Show Critique:

I would like to express my thanks to the Officers and Committee of the Club for inviting me to judge their show, my second opportunity at a Breed Open Show.
I was struck by the wonderful atmosphere in the hall with every result being greeted with spontaneous, enthusiastic applause. The exhibitors in Scotland certainly are a very sporting lot!
I found no bad mouths but front movement in some exhibits left a lot to be desired. However my class winners did not disappoint me

Placing Critique:

An outstanding puppy 6 month lovely balanced grizzle dog, level topline, well set tail, narrow front, even movement with positive drive, correct Border expression, small well set neat ears, short broad muzzle, one to watch for the future (Best Puppy in Show)
