The Scottish Border Terrier Club Limited Show (26-01-2014)

Second Place in Novice - Dog, Judge: Mrs Elizabeth Barrett (Howthwaite)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the committee of the Scottish BTC for their warm welcome and hospitality. Thank you also to my ring stewards Joyce Orr and Helen McKenzie for keeping things running smoothly. I am grateful to those exhibitors who braved the weather to attend the show. All the dogs were entire and mouths were very good. Coats were on the whole just on their way in which I expected just before the coming show season. A number of exhibits were carrying rather too much condition for a fit functional terrier.

Placing Critique:

Upstanding grizzle and tan dog in a correct harsh double coat. Very good head, with flat skull, well set ears, strong muzzle and excellent bite with huge teeth. Nice bone and excellent feet. Ribbed well back, deep and narrow but would prefer a little more length right through. Racy hindquarters, he is very sound and true on the move.
