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.

Another with good topline, shorter coupled than my winner his coat was just going over but still plenty to like including his strong jaw, neat V shaped ear. A nice type of border terrier, will see how he does when shown in a fresh coat.

Judge: Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)
I would like to thank the officers and committee for their kind invitation to judge at this friendly and well-organised show. To all the exhibitors, it was a true honour to assess your wonderful dogs, with many decisions being closely contested. I thoroughly enjoyed my day—thank you. I would also like to thank my hard-working stewards, Julie & Ian, for keeping the day running smoothly.
Minor Puppy - Dog /
First Place
Name at show: Scrambled Egg
Placing Critique
Promising and outgoing 8-month-old dog, who showed himself with confidence and has much to like. He possesses a little more bone and substance while remaining spannable. His head is nicely proportioned, with good width across the backskull, small ears, and a dark, expressive eye. He has a decent length of neck and a firm topline, though he did lose it at times today on the move. His chest is well let down, slightly shorter coupled, finished with a thick carrot tail. Presented in a harsh double coat and thick pelt.
