A neat little bitch and although small all through, she is well put together and has a lovely reach of neck. Lovely otter head. She has a good tail, well set on and she moved really well on small, tight feet, throughout the class.
The Border Terrier Club Open Show
21st Oct 2017
Judge: Ms. Suzanne Coldham (nee Marwood) (Annesuz)
It was an absolute honour and pleasure to judge the Border Terrier Club’s Open show in Low Hesket and I would like to thank a very hardworking committee for this opportunity. I would also like to thank the exhibitors and spectators for their warm welcome and genuine applause at my placings. There was a good atmosphere throughout the day and good to see so many still ringside to see the top honours at the end.
I was greeted with an excellent entry of 104 dogs making 122 entries and from these I was able to select some top specimens truly representative of our breed. I am not going to wax lyrical about the breed in general but suffice to say in my humble opinion a watch needs to be kept on heads, movement and coats/pelt.
I was pleasantly surprised to find my Best Dog is the grandsire of my Reserve Best Dog and my Best Bitch and Reserve Best Bitch share the same sire as each other.

Leek and District Show Society Open Show
28th Jul 2018
Judge: Anna Duxbury (Ridgebow)
I would very much like to thank the officers and committee for offering me this appointment at this lovely agricultural show, and for their hospitality. Thanks also to the efficient and helpful ring steward and most of all to all the exhibitors for allowing me the privilege of going over their dogs. It was a very windy day, which bothered some dogs on the table. Temperaments on the day were excellent, coats were very varied and all male dogs were entire.

2 year old grizzle bitch. Smaller frame than 1 but nicely balanced overall. Attractive head with short strong muzzle. Good length of neck onto well laid on shoulders with straight front to good neat feet. Easily spanned with good length of rib and well angulated rear. Coat and pelt in very good order beautifully groomed as are all from this kennel. Handled very well in windy conditions, she moved easily round the ring. Just preferred overall balance of 1 today.`
