I want to thank the society for inviting me to judge Border Terriers for the first time. I was absolutely thrilled with my entry, and I had some lovely exhibits to go over and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was pleased to see all had good bites, all had good temperaments and most were in good coat. A few, particularly the males, were verging on too big for me. Also, I feel I should urge exhibitors not to run with their dogs, it makes the movement harder to assess and can cause the dogs not to stride out properly. Thank you all for entering under me and thank you to my brilliant stewards Helen and Kev for keeping the ring running efficiently and smoothly.

Judge: Joanna Taylor (Barkanellie)
I would like to thank the society for giving me the opportunity to judge border terriers for the first time. I had a super entry and some lovely dogs to go over. There were a number of dogs light on coat, presumably due to preparing for Crufts, which impacted some placings. Overall movement was good, as were teeth, tails and temperaments. I was pleased to see my BoB take TG4 any my BP take TPG3. Special thanks to my steward Libby Wain who kept everything on track and organised.

11 mth dog, up to size and a little larger than I prefer but balanced overall. Masculine head with sweet expression and correct bite. Shown in a good harsh coat and well handled. Moved steadily and covered the ground well. Preferred the size and proportions of 1.
