caught my eye on the first go around and I found nothing to change my mind. Super youngster, excellent head and eye, good front and chest, spans well & has a good pelt, tail used correctly and foot perfect up and back and in profile. Thought he was lovely, BOB, BPIB, TG1 & TPG1. Close up for main awards later in the day, Ch quality no doubt.
East Anglia Border Terrier Club Open Show

Judge: Mr Ken Fraser (Ycart)
I would like to thank the committee for the opportunity to judge their show, thanks also to my ring stewards for helping everything run smoothly and as efficiently as possible.
The breed standard calls for numerous elements which make up the border terrier and with that its ability to cover ground efficiently and economically with no exaggerations,it also states “essentially a working terrier” .I feel we are losing many fundamentals of the breed especially in front movement wide fronts, short upper arms,sprung ribcages,undesirable toplines, lack of drive from the rear quarters and poor feet all of which restrict the border to work efficiently. Weak and short muzzles, lack of fill under the eye are creeping in and are undesirable in a working terrier.

Judge: Mr Colin Girling (Benattivo)
Thank you to my stewards who helped me with their friendly efficiency that made it easy for me to concentrate on the Border Terrier judging. A bit of pressure to get out of the ring but I hope this did not spoil anything for my top winners or the other exhibitors who seemed to appreciate my choices out of a wonderful group of dogs. A couple of close bites and the odd bump in tails, some under/over weight exhibits which was a shame as some may well have moved further up the line. As expected a great deal of variation in coats but the vast majority were presented as well as they could be in their growth cycle. Thanks to everyone who entered and showed such good sportsmanship in accepting my decisions and supporting others. I was delighted with my class winner lines ups for both dogs and bitches, some hotly contested classes and tough choices for me throughout the day.

At just over 8 months of age this Grizzle and tan male had a harsh double jacket, presented in top condition this youngster moved out with confidence and drive both ways, keeping his topline at all times, strong muzzle and keen expression. Easily spanned I will watch his progress with interest.
