The Southern Border Terrier Club Open Show
15th Sep 2024
Judge: Mrs Sue Baxter (Mysulan/Sulan)
I must start by thanking the committee for the invitation to judge at this lovely venue. The weather was kind to us and judging was able to take place outside , a fact I know so many exhibitors enjoy. My thanks also must go to my stewards , Rachel and Rhianne Mitchell , they certainly kept things running smoothly and were a big help keeping me on track ! Thanks ladies!
As usual , my gratitude to all who gave me entries and were able to turn up on the day , all very much appreciated .
I was presented with an array of lovely specimens and some classes made for some tough decisions .Several times I wished there were more red cards to award. The standard , I found, was very good and there was quality in depth in most classes. All males were intact , I found no kinked tails and most mouths were acceptable , coats , as usual , were in differing stages of growth and texture . All were spannable.

real baby at 6 months and a couple of days ,a lovely pup all round , jacket and pelt good, angles front and rear , sweet feminine head and expression , on the somewhat uneven ground these two puppies made their movement look good and literally took it in their stride . Tough call , as I could have given two red cards .

Border Terrier bitch puppy of nice type, attractive head and expression with dark eye and strong bite. Flow of neck to rib into lion presents a pleasing outline and spannable body. Coat just going past its best but still had depth and texture. Moved well around the ring.
