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

Second Place in Post Graduate - 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:

Light grizzle and tan shown in a tight undercoat with evidence of a harsh topcoat just to say coming. Typical head and expression with a lovely dark eye, very little stop and good teeth. Lovely neck into well laid shoulders. Straight front legs that are just right for bone. Deep and narrow throughout and easily spanned. Racey hindquarters with well let down hocks. He moved very true coming and going.
