Midland Border Terrier Club Open Show
1st Feb 2026
Judge: Lauren Goddard (Awbrooksky)
Thank you to the Midland Border Terrier Club committee for inviting me to judge, and to everyone who entered under me. I thoroughly enjoyed my day.
I was pleased to find no bad mouths or kinks in tails. Slightly concerned about movement throughout. Coats were a mixture, though most had good pelts. The overall size of the dogs were of good standard . I had many lovely dogs to go over, in which a couple of the classes I was splitting hairs between.

The Southern Border Terrier Club Open Show

Judge: Mr Kevin Yeates (Bluebabel)
My thanks to the committee for giving me this opportunity. I had a lovely day going over some lovely dogs. Mouths were very good with only one level bite. A couple of weak front pasterns, and a few carrying too much condition. They are after all ‘essentially a working terrier’
