The Terrier Club of Devon & Cornwall Open Show
21st Oct 2018
Judge: Tina Morgan (Blewecourt)
Thankyou to the officers and committee for the invitation to judge at this show and to the exhibitors for a quality entry as well as accepting my decisions in a sporting manner. It was an enjoyable day and one where the classes are also sponsored by The Southern Border Terrier Club. We enjoyed a good atmosphere and ample sized ring and a steward who kept everything in order.

Handy sized typey 7 month old grizzle bitch. Feminine head with neat ear, strong jaw and good scissor bite. Lovely straight front and neat cat like feet being good for bone. Narrow all through with level topline and well set on tail. Excellent deep coat and thick pelt, easily spanned. On her toes the whole time. BPIB and I was delighted to hear she also went RBPIS.

Judge: Mrs Jill Stevens (Cobstoneway)
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge and for the warm welcome and hospitality on the day. Thank you also to my 2 efficient stewards, and most of all to the exhibitors for allowing me the privilege of going over their lovely dogs. All the dogs were entire, and I found no kinked tails or incorrect dentition.

This lovely 8 month old grizzle and tan bitch puppy just oozed confidence and ring presence. She is narrow throughout with a good length of body, being ribbed well back and spanned with ease. Her front is straight and narrow, her moderate neck flowing into well placed shoulders. She has a feminine head with adequate strength of muzzle, dark eyes and small v shaped ears, and moved well for one so young. BP and TPG2.

Thanks to the exhibitors for a super entry of Border Terriers. As I repeatedly say, the shows are about the dogs and the exhibitors and are not held for the benefit of the judges, so I appreciated the honour of going over your dogs. Thanks also to the ring stewards Angie Feildsend and Andrea Caudrelier who kept everything flowing smoothly so that we finished in good time. With an entry of 148 dogs making 159 entries, we had the highest entry in the Terrier Group and what a lovely entry it was that awaited me on 16th December. As my finalists came into the ring for each set of CCs, I thought "I like all these!!"
After the show was over, I was told that the four dogs I had brought together at the top of the ring, when deciding on the Dog CC, were all related to one dog and in fact three of them were by that same dog, one I have often referred to in the past when discussing stud dogs with people, as a dog who consistently puts breed type on his progeny, so I was thrilled to be told that Ch Grindelvald In Full Cry JW sired three of the dogs and was the great grandsire of the fourth and to confirm that in the catalogue later. Congratulations to Mrs Margaret Bailey on breeding and owning a dog who clearly puts his breed type stamp on his progeny.
Unless something changes drastically with the Judges Competency Framework, this will be my last General Championship Show appointment and so, when asking for the name of the dog to whom I had awarded the CC and Best of Breed at the end when I was filling in the Award Cards, it was fitting that I then found out his name was Dassett Last Waltz JW. So pleased to later see him pulled out in the shortcut in the Terrier Group. Good luck for the future.

At a few days shy of 9 months old, this was another very nice puppy. Loved her length of body and set on of tail. She too had a super otterhead. Just right for bone. Finished these notes with "A very nice trio of puppies."

Many thanks to Officers and Committee for their kind invitation to judge their Open Show and the exhibitors for the sporting way they accepted my decisions. I was very pleased with my winners on the day and also pleased to see my BOB going Best in Show, this was the icing on the cake from a very enjoyable weekend spent in Cornwall.
