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

Second Place in Open - Bitch, 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:

A smaller and more compact light grizzle and tan bitch. Short strong muzzle with a good bite, dark eye and broad flat skull. Standing on lovely small feet and just right for bone. Shown in a tight double coat with an excellent thick undercoat and pelt. Short thick tail and well angulated hind quarters. Very true on the move and immaculately presented.
