Wigan & District Canine Society Open Show
5th Nov 2017
Judge: Ms Tina Jones (Otterholme)
Many thanks to the society to judge here, I last judged her a few years ago and received the same warm welcome. Special thanks to the exhibitors for entering under me and sporting grace shown on my decisions. The show did clash with a local group open show, but it was still a pleasing entry and good depth of quality to be found.

The Scottish Border Terrier Club Championship Show
11th Nov 2017
Judge: Mrs E Cuthbertson (Ashbrae)
My thanks to the Officers, Committee and members of the Club for this appointment. It was a privilege to judge, with a very nice entry and sporting atmosphere throughout the day.
My thanks for the hospitality, gift and excellent lunch, and to my steward Shona.
I was pleased with the entry overall, coats varied throughout. My main concern not only today but with the breed in general would be size with many being too big and something that must be considered in future breeding. Front movement with pinning in lost some dogs placings today. It was rewarding to start two youngsters off with their first CC’s and I wish them well for their future.

Attractive head with that true otter expression, nice shape and colour to eye, ears placed a little lower then I would like, not moving as well in front as the litter sister.

Bigger dog but spannable and well made throughout with good shoulder and good rear, coat and pelt. I preferred the strength of muzzle of the winner.
