First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Rachel Larner (Hawcoat)
Firstly I would like to apologise for the delay in this critique. I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge this show and all the members for entering and attending. I would also like to thank the stewards for the running of the ring.
I enjoyed going over all the dogs and found temperaments of all were good. Coats seemed to be a bit hit and miss today as it seemed a lot of people had taken them out after Crufts! Movement was generally good and I only found one bad mouth. I was extremely pleased with my overall winners and feel they are good examples of a Border Terrier.
Lovely red dog who was in a super tight jacket. Good strong head and muzzle, with dark eye and good ear set. Good front with good depth of rib but easily spanable. Level topline that was held on the move and lead into correct tail shape and set. Moved soundly round the ring on tight little feet. Maturity won him BP. RBD.
