The Scottish Border Terrier Club Open Show

Judge: Mrs V Atkinson (Raedwulf)
Thank you so much to the society for inviting me to judge this wonderful show. To my steward, Judy Carr, thank you for running my ring so efficiently, especially in the heat. Thanks must go to the ladies for our delicious lunch too. I was presented with some super examples of the breed and there were some tough decisions, especially in the bitches. I do also think the heat affected the performance of some as the day progressed. On the whole mouths were good, but a couple of very knotted tails and some dogs I was unable to span, even with generous allowance which would preclude them from fulfilling the breed standard of ‘essentially a working terrier’.

Placing Critique
8 month old grizzle and tan pup, nice size for age. Broad across the skull but not as strong in muzzle. Correct scissor bite and dark eye. Front movement a little loose, I’m sure this will improve with maturity. Evidence of second thigh developing. Level top line and well set on tail. Easily spannable and with pliable pelt. A little short in coat but coming through and what was there was of good texture.

The Scottish Border Terrier Club Open Show
2nd Jun 2024
Judge: Dr Margaret Armstrong (Ploughdown)
Thank you to the officers and committee of the Scottish Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge their June 2024 Breed Club Open Show. The day was marked by very good weather conditions: a mixture of sunny spells, brisk breezes and cloud. Just right for the dogs. The dreaded rain kept at bay so the Gods smiled down on us. What a super venue to hold a show. There was a large indoor hall if needed. However, given the clement conditions, we were outside for judging on a large paved area surrounded by raised grass banks that afforded for spectators a good view of events. The welcome from officers and exhibitors alike was warm and hospitable and I’d like to thank exhibitors for the super entry I had and for their good grace in accepting their placings. There was a great sense of collegiality among members and good humour was in plentiful supply. The catering was second to none; the poached salmon salad at lunch was super. And I was sent on my way with enough food to see me back over the sea to Northern Ireland. Finally I’d like to thank my two stewards on the day: Kath Lothian and Pete Appleby. They were welcoming and fulfilled their duties with quiet good humour.

Very much a racy border, showing length and narrowness in body. He obviously still has maturing to do; he is still young and very much gives the impression he will take time to grow into himself. Flat skull, good eye, some strength in foreface and correct scissor bite, showing big, strong teeth. Short coarse double show coat. Presented a pleasing outline when he stood for his handler, with good angulation fore and aft. Easily spanned. Tidy enough on the move, when he settled.
