Midland Border Terrier Club Open Show
1st Feb 2026
Judge: Lauren Goddard (Awbrooksky)
Thank you to the Midland Border Terrier Club committee for inviting me to judge, and to everyone who entered under me. I thoroughly enjoyed my day.
I was pleased to find no bad mouths or kinks in tails. Slightly concerned about movement throughout. Coats were a mixture, though most had good pelts. The overall size of the dogs were of good standard . I had many lovely dogs to go over, in which a couple of the classes I was splitting hairs between.

BPB BP 6 month old blue and tan. Small feminine head , correct dentition and ear set and dark eye. Nothing over done on this young puppy which is nice to see. Lovely narrow front with neat feet. Good length of neck into well placed shoulders. Good topline with the correct tailset straight off the back would like a shorter tail.. Good angulation on the rear. Correct double coat and loose pelt. Moved well.

I want to thank the West Midland Terrier Society Committee and Officers for inviting me to judge Border Terriers at their prestigious Premier Open Show on Valentines day 2026. I had a lovely day and really enjoyed myself. Very grateful to my stewards that made sure I could fully concentrate on the lovely terriers that were presented to me. Thank you to all exhibitors that entered their dogs under me. You all contributed to a great experience for my first UK judging appointment. (Ben Regeer, NL)
