Just 6 months old grizzle and tan. Feminine head with lovely dark eye and keen expression, good dentition. Good length of neck into well angulated shoulders and correct narrow front. Ribs carried well back, narrow throughout, level top line and good rear angulation. Thick pliable pelt and full double coat. Her front movement was still slightly loose at times however movement overall was fluent and balanced. Will watch her progress with interest. I was pleased to see her go PG4. BBP, BPIB, PG4.

The Border Terrier Club Championship Show
29th Mar 2025
Judge: Janice Johnson (Ratcheugh)
My thanks to the Border Terrier Club for this appointment it was indeed an honour and privilege to judge this prestigious show in Border Country. To my stewards Judy and Pam for their efficiency and all the exhibitors who entered, thank you for giving me this opportunity to go over your dogs and accepting my judgement on the day.
I had the most enjoyable day going over some excellent examples of our breed. My feelings are we have a good future in some of our younger exhibits but, watch out for size and movement. For all exhibitors, we must remember the border terrier is a working breed and should be able to follow hounds, sound movement is essential. I love a good coat and thick pelt and today I had both in abundance, all mouths were correct and all, but a couple were spannable.
