The Border Terrier Club Open Show
18th Oct 2025
Judge: Mrs Anne Higham (Comberdown)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge the show and for your great hospitality. Thanks also to my stewarts on the day, Marina and Jane, who kept everything running smoothly and enabled me to finish judging in good time. I would also like to thank all the exhibitors for their entries.
Coats were at various stages on the day and I found one kinked tail and one mouth with misaligned teeth. I also noticed that a few of the exhibits had small teeth which we do not want to become the norm and should be discouraged.

Strong but spannable 7 month old grizzle and tan. Nice head with strong jaw and correct dentition. Good topline and correct tail set. Double coat of good texture. Straight front and good for bone. Moved well once settled.

Northern Counties Sporting Terrier Association Open Show
19th Oct 2025
Judge: Glenn Birrell
I would like to thank the Officers and Committee of the Northern Counties Sporting Terrier Association and The Northern Border Terrier Club for choosing me for this appointment, a breed club supported show. Also thank you to all the exhibitors for giving me an amazing entry of 36 dogs to go over.
There were some very good exhibits for me to judge, and there were many hard decisions to be for the placements in some classes. Mouths were good in all exhibits and there were no noticeable kinks in tails. All were span-able some were up in size but would be able to do the job they were built for.
