Oswestry & District Kennel Association Open Show
16th Mar 2025
Judge: Rhiannon Bevan (Daeagi)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge at this friendly and well run show, and to my ring stewards who helped me to find my way in the ring, at my first judging appointment.
I was pleased to receive an entry of 15 exhibits, which offered me several high quality dogs to go over. I was also pleased to hear that it was a first show for some exhibitors - I hope they enjoyed their day.
Overall I found the standard to be high, with no bad mouths and clean teeth, well kept nails and tight feet and no kinked tails. Coats were varying, as some had recently been stripped out post Crufts, or just about to go over - which did effect some placings where judging was close.
Movement was a little disappointing across the breed today, with several dogs struggling with the mats and ring size, however most gave me enough to assess.

A lovely line up of 3 promising puppies that, on different days could each win a class.
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.
