6 months old and so attractive. She produces a lovely outline. Super to examine. Spans well. Proportioned head containing lovely eyes. Tail is well set and carried correctly. Must have a promising show future.
Oswestry & District Kennel Association Open Show
16th Mar 2025
Judge: Rhiannon Bevan (Daeagi)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge at this friendly and well run show, and to my ring stewards who helped me to find my way in the ring, at my first judging appointment.
I was pleased to receive an entry of 15 exhibits, which offered me several high quality dogs to go over. I was also pleased to hear that it was a first show for some exhibitors - I hope they enjoyed their day.
Overall I found the standard to be high, with no bad mouths and clean teeth, well kept nails and tight feet and no kinked tails. Coats were varying, as some had recently been stripped out post Crufts, or just about to go over - which did effect some placings where judging was close.
Movement was a little disappointing across the breed today, with several dogs struggling with the mats and ring size, however most gave me enough to assess.

Another promising young 6 months old B&T puppy who was unfortunately a little short on coat today to compete with 1. Handy for size with a pleasing otter head and expression, easily spannable and ribbed well back, with a well placed carrot tail. A little unsettled on the move today, but another to watch with interest
Class Critique
A lovely line up of 3 promising puppies that, on different days could each win a class.
The East Anglia Border Terrier Club Championship Show
12th Apr 2025
Judge: Miss Jean Singh (Vandamere)
It was a pleasure to judge at this show. The sun was shining on this first outdoor show of the year. Many thanks to my stewards Rob and Julie.
I found two youngsters with just level mouths, one exhibit had a misaligned lower tooth and two exhibits with light eyes. Front movement is still a problem, what I did find alarming were a number of exhibits with large, thick set heavy ears. Some exhibits were lacking in body condition and muscle tone.

she is a nice size with a feminine head and a keen expression. She has a good bite, a strong muzzle and dark eyes. Her front was straight, shoulders were angulated and ribs were good. She was in good coat and movement was sound both ways.
Yeovil & District Canine Society Open Show
4th May 2025
Judge: Jo Hughes (Arunmere)
I’d like to thank the committee for inviting me to Judge Border Terriers at this lovely show, we had a big ring to see the dogs get into their stride and show what they are made of, movement was on average ok, a few crabbing around corners, size varied a lot with some difficult to span, coats were generally good with only one fully stripped. Thank you to my two stewards keeping things running on a windy day!

Royal Welsh Agricultural Society Premier Open Show
18th May 2025
Judge: Siân McKay (Redesholt)
I would like to thank the committee of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, for inviting me to judge Border Terriers at their Premier Open Show. I thank them further for managing to arrange glorious weather! I thoroughly enjoyed my day and I must thank the exhibitors for giving me a lovely entry and some super dogs to go over, and to my Steward Marie, who carried on to steward for the next class as well.
I am glad to note that I found no kinked tails, or suspect mouths. Coats as usual were in all stages of growth and in general fronts were good; and there were some good Otter-like heads in evidence. I was pleased with my final line up, who all moved with super reach and drive – essentially a working terrier!
