The Border Terrier Club Open Show (24-02-2024)

First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Libby Tanton-Joy (Itsaso)

Show Critique:

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge their open show held at Jedburgh, the home of the border terrier. It was a great privilege, and I had some amazing dogs present who are a credit to their owners, thank you for bringing them.
Thank you to my stewards for organising the rings so smoothly and keeping me on track so we finished at a reasonable time. The hospitality was second to none and I would like to thank the whole committee for this.

Class Critique:

This is always one of my favourite classes and all are credit to their owners. I absolutely loved my top two.

Placing Critique:

9 and 1/2-year-old blue and tan male who is exactly that all male. Very appealing in head with typical expression. Holds a balanced profile on the move which he does with economy in a true tracking motion. He is spannable with straight front and good shoulder into rib. Best Veteran In Show
